FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-1090v2 are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers offering comfort for everyday wear. While they can handle light jogging, they may not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for dedicated running.
How do I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?
Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the mesh. Avoid soaking the shoes and allow them to air dry completely.
What is the benefit of the Rear GEL technology?
The Rear GEL technology is designed to improve shock absorption, providing a softer feel underfoot and reducing impact during wear, particularly beneficial for walking and standing.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, the mesh underlays are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials and comfort.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper of these trainers features overlapping layers of leather combined with breathable mesh underlays.
Are these trainers available in other colors?
This specific product variant is in the Smoke Grey color family. Other colorways may be available under different product listings for the ASICS Gel-1090v2 series.
How long is the break-in period for these shoes?
The break-in period can vary for individuals. Typically, wearing them for short durations over a few days is sufficient. Listen to your body and gradually increase wear time as comfort improves.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between layers or moisture. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or on the tongue area. Ensure shoes are completely dry.
Discomfort after initial wear
New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size has been selected.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish specifically designed for athletic footwear. Follow product instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first.
