FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-1130 trainers suitable for running?
The Gel-1130 trainers are inspired by running shoe designs and offer good cushioning for walking and light activities. For serious or high-mileage running, more specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available online or in-store. It's also helpful to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between models and brands.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, they are not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials and ensure comfort.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?
The ASICS GEL technology is designed to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear, thereby enhancing overall comfort.
How should I clean the 'Cream Birch' colorway?
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For mesh areas, use a soft brush. Always air dry and avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Are there other color options available for the Gel-1130 series?
Yes, the Gel-1130 series typically comes in various colorways. Refer to the ASICS product catalog or retailer listings for available options.
What does the TRUSSTIC SYSTEM do?
The TRUSSTIC SYSTEM is an internal shank that provides midfoot stability, preventing unwanted twisting of the sole and supporting the foot's natural motion.
Troubleshooting
Uneven fit or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try wearing with different sock thicknesses or adjust the lacing pattern for better pressure distribution.
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur due to new materials settling or friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe or check if the insole is positioned correctly.
Dirt buildup on mesh areas
Use a soft brush and a mild soap-and-water solution. Gently scrub the mesh and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The GEL technology cushioning may feel less pronounced after extensive use. Ensure the insoles are clean and properly seated. For significant degradation, consider replacing the insoles.
