FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-1130 suitable for running?
The GEL-1130 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer, inspired by running shoe aesthetics. While the GEL™ cushioning provides comfort, they are not optimized for high-impact running or athletic training. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.
How do I determine the right size?
It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the ASICS sizing chart. Consider that the fit can vary slightly between models. Trying them on if possible, or ordering half a size up if you prefer more room, can be helpful.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Hand washing or spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What does the TRUSSTIC™ Support System do?
The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is a plastic component located in the midfoot area of the shoe. It provides stability by preventing excessive twisting of the sole, helping to guide the foot through a more natural gait cycle.
What is the main difference between GEL-1130 and other ASICS trainers?
The GEL-1130 is a retro-inspired model paying homage to older ASICS designs, offering a balance of classic style and modern comfort features like GEL™ cushioning. Other ASICS trainers might focus more on performance for specific sports, utilize different cushioning technologies, or feature more contemporary designs.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is engineered for durability and long-lasting wear, providing reliable traction for everyday use. However, like all shoe outsoles, its lifespan will depend on the frequency of use and the surfaces it is exposed to.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overly tight. Consider if the break-in period is needed for your foot shape.
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces.
Check the outsole for embedded debris or wear. Clean the outsole with water and a brush to restore grip. If the outsole is significantly worn down, replacement might be considered.
Mesh upper appears dirty.
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. For persistent dirt, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

Compatibility:

Care:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your GEL-1130 trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the mesh and leather. For tougher stains on leather, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: A soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water can be used to clean the rubber and foam components. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a garment bag in the washing machine.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
