Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-1130 trainers in White Aqua (GS) are designed for kids seeking performance and style inspired by early 2000s running shoe aesthetics. Their key benefit is supportive cushioning provided by GEL technology, ideal for active children. A potential consideration is that this specific model is sized for youth, so adult sizing may differ. This technical running shoe features a breathable mesh upper, aqua accents, synthetic overlays, and a Y2K-inspired bulky silhouette with GEL units in the midsole for impact absorption.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, check if the correct size has been selected. Consider the thickness of socks being worn.
Discomfort in the arch or heel
Verify the size and fit. The GEL cushioning should provide comfort; if persistent, consider if custom orthotics are needed for specific foot support.
Traction issues on smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The rubber compound is designed for general traction; very slippery surfaces may inherently limit grip.
Mesh material appears dirty
Refer to the care instructions for cleaning the mesh upper using mild soap and water. For tougher stains, a soft brush can be used gently.
