FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by running shoes, the GEL-1130™ is designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. For dedicated running or high-intensity training, ASICS offers specialized performance running models.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The trainers should feel snug but not constricting. Ensure there is a small amount of space at the toe and that your heel does not slip excessively when walking. Refer to the ASICS sizing chart for UK sizes.
What materials are the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers made of?
The trainers typically feature a mix of synthetic leather panels and breathable mesh or textile materials for the upper, with a rubber outsole and GEL™ technology in the midsole.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
They offer some protection against light moisture, but are not waterproof. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear waterproof footwear.
How often should I clean my GEL-1130 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed when they appear dirty. Regular light wiping can help maintain their appearance and prevent build-up of dirt.
What is the main difference between the GEL-1130 and other ASICS trainers?
The GEL-1130™ stands out for its specific heritage design inspired by a 2008 running shoe, blending retro aesthetics with modern comfort features like GEL™ cushioning for everyday wear, whereas other models might focus on advanced performance technology or different design eras.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are threaded evenly. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if socks are thicker than usual.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL™ cushioning is designed for longevity but may naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended use for casual wear.
Soles feel slippery
Check the outsole for debris or wear. If the surface is wet or particularly smooth, grip may be reduced. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth.
