FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they provide support, the Gel-1090 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer. For dedicated long-distance running, ASICS performance running models are recommended.
How should I clean the white leather?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water. Gently wipe the surface and allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-1090 design is categorized as unisex, offering a versatile fit for all adult foot shapes.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
Will the white leather turn yellow?
To prevent yellowing, avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight and store them in a dark, dry place when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface has developed scuffs or minor marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser to gently buff the area.
Shoes feel tight after a long day
Feet often swell during the day; ensure laces are adjusted for comfort in the morning and consider wearing thinner moisture-wicking socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-1090 trainers remain in excellent condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These are standard UK adult sizes; ensure you have tried them with your preferred sock thickness to confirm the fit.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging in water or using harsh industrial chemicals that may degrade the finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the colours from fading.
- Protection: Consider using a leather-safe water-repellent spray if you plan to wear them in damp conditions, though heavy rain exposure should be avoided.
