Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-1090 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care steps:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations during the first few days to allow the cushioning to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For marks on the white upper, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth; avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the adhesives and materials.
- Compatibility: These are standard adult-sized trainers; ensure you are referencing your standard UK shoe size (9.5 in this specific variant) for the best fit.
