Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-1130 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of heritage athletic performance and contemporary urban style for daily wear. These trainers provide reliable underfoot support and durable construction suitable for walking and light activities; however, because they are constructed with leather components, they are best suited for dry conditions rather than high-intensity outdoor trail running or wet weather environments.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Gel-1130 is based on a performance running lineage, the current version is categorized as a trainer for everyday wear and walking, not for intense athletic running.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Due to the leather components, machine washing can cause irreversible damage. Use a damp cloth to clean instead.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally align with standard UK sizing. If you prefer a thicker sock, some users opt for a half-size larger.
How do I maintain the white accents on the shoe?
Regularly wipe the white portions with a clean damp cloth to prevent dirt from settling into the grain of the material.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are made with leather but are not waterproofed. It is recommended to apply a leather-safe water repellent spray if you expect to encounter occasional light rain.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuff marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently buff out surface-level marks.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the laces are adjusted for your foot volume; the leather structure is firm and benefits from a secure, custom-tightened fit.
Creasing in the leather during use
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; using shoe trees when not in use can help minimize deep set-in creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-1130 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is constructed with leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the finish and shape of the leather. Instead, clean the exterior by wiping with a damp cloth and a mild detergent when necessary. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or harden. Ensure you choose the correct UK size, as the leather material offers a structured fit that does not stretch significantly over time. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry area and use shoe trees if you want to maintain the silhouette during extended periods of non-use.
