Are these shoes good for wide feet?
While designed for a standard fit, the lacing system allows for some adjustment. However, if you have significantly wide feet, it's always best to try them on or check for wide-specific options if available for this model.

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry completely away from heat.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?

Can I wear these shoes for gym workouts?
Yes, the stability and support offered by the GEL-1090v2 make them suitable for various gym activities, including weight training and circuit training, where a stable base is beneficial.
What is the difference between GEL-1090v2 and other ASICS running shoes?
The GEL-1090v2 specifically focuses on providing maximum stability and robust support, often featuring a firmer cushioning setup compared to lighter, more minimalist models from ASICS.
How long do ASICS GEL-1090v2 trainers typically last?
With regular use and proper care, these trainers can last between 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 kilometers) or 1-2 years, depending on running frequency and intensity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot. Ensure you have the correct size; consider trying a different size if the issue persists.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The GEL cushioning may compress with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain performance. If significantly degraded, consider replacement.
Feet feel hot during runs
Ensure socks are made of breathable, moisture-wicking material. Clean any dirt from the shoe's mesh to maintain breathability.
Slipping heel
Adjust lacing to create a more secure heel lock. Ensure the shoe size is correct, as a shoe that is too large can cause heel slippage.
