FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers suitable for running?
These are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. While they provide comfort for walking and light activity, they lack the technical support needed for competitive running.
How do I determine my size for this model?
This model follows standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your typical athletic shoe size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural components of the shoe. Use manual cleaning methods instead.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable open-hole mesh and synthetic structural layers.
Do the trainers provide arch support?
The shoes feature a foam midsole and GEL inserts that offer a balanced, cushioned platform suitable for most foot types.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the white mesh
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild soap mixture with a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the mesh fibers.
Laces coming undone
Ensure you are using a double knot if the laces feel slick, or swap for aftermarket laces with more texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For the mesh areas, lightly wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place these trainers in a clothes dryer or near direct heat sources, as high temperatures can damage the foam midsole and synthetic materials.
- Fit: These trainers use a standard lace-up system. For maximum comfort, ensure the laces are tensioned evenly across the instep to prevent pressure points.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
