FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the GEL-1130 is based on a legacy running model, it is currently categorized as a lifestyle trainer. It is best suited for casual wear and walking rather than high-mileage athletic running.
Can I put my ASICS GEL-1130s in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the synthetic leather, compromise the adhesive, and degrade the GEL cushioning system. Always clean them by hand.
Are these trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing. If you have particularly wide feet or prefer thicker socks, you may consider a half-size adjustment.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is a combination of multi-layer mesh for breathability and synthetic leather overlays for durability and structure.
Is the GEL technology visible?
Yes, the GEL cushioning is integrated into the midsole to provide signature shock absorption, consistent with the design language of the 2000s.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on synthetic leather overlays
Wipe the affected area with a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution and pat dry with a clean towel.
Cushioning feels less responsive after heavy use
Remove the insole to air it out and ensure there is no debris trapped under the sock liner that could be interfering with the footbed.
Creasing on the synthetic leather
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS GEL-1130 trainers remain in top condition, proper maintenance is key. Since these trainers contain synthetic leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the materials and glue bonds. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap. For the mesh areas, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust and debris. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials. For fit compatibility, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the construction provides a consistent, true-to-size feel for most adult foot shapes.
