FAQs
What does the 'TRUSSTIC support system' do?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a technology integrated into the midfoot of the shoe, designed to enhance stability by preventing excessive torsion and providing a more secure stride.
How does the insole contribute to sustainability?
The insole uses a solution-dyeing process, which significantly reduces the amount of water used in its production by approximately 33% and cuts carbon emissions by around 45% compared to traditional dyeing methods.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the ASICS GEL-1130 is well-suited for everyday wear, offering a comfortable fit and a classic aesthetic that can complement various casual outfits.
How do I determine the correct size for a child?
It is best to measure your child's foot length and compare it with the ASICS size chart, specifically for children's UK sizes, to ensure the most accurate fit.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials and construction. Instead, clean them by hand using a mild soap and a damp cloth, then air dry.
What activities are these shoes best for?
These shoes are best for general athletic activities, light running, walking, and providing comfortable support for everyday use. They are not designed for highly specialized sports.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct size. Adjust lacing for a more customized fit. If persistent, consider re-measuring foot size.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Check if the insole is properly seated. Sometimes removing, cleaning, and reinserting the insole can resolve this. If the issue persists, the outsole may be rubbing on a specific surface type.
Shoes develop an unpleasant odor.
Allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Remove insoles to dry separately. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use.
Sole appears worn out quickly.
Shoe sole wear depends on usage frequency, activity type, and surface. Regularly inspect soles for wear and consider replacement when traction or cushioning is significantly reduced.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your ASICS GEL-1130 shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe dirt and grime from the upper with a soft cloth or brush. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Drying: Air dry shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
- Insole Care: The solution-dyed insole itself requires no special care beyond general cleaning of the shoe interior. Do not machine wash insoles.
