Product Information

Full details

The ASICS Gel-1130 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro-tech aesthetics and modern everyday comfort. These shoes feature signature GEL cushioning in the heel for superior shock absorption, making them an excellent choice for daily wear and light activity. While they offer exceptional stability through the Trusstic system, potential users should note that the metallic synthetic overlays provide a structured fit that may require a short break-in period compared to softer, all-mesh footwear.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The Gel-1130 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and daily wear shoe; for high-intensity long-distance training, consider dedicated ASICS performance running models.

How do I determine the correct UK size for these trainers?

The ASICS Gel-1130 typically fits true to size. If you are between sizes or plan to wear thicker socks, some users prefer to size up by half.

Can I put the Gel-1130 in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the GEL cushioning and the adhesive components. Always clean by hand.

What is the function of the Trusstic system?

The Trusstic system is a lightweight shank placed in the midfoot to provide stability and prevent the shoe from twisting unnecessarily during your gait.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The upper is constructed from breathable mesh, which is not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to protect the materials.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slightly tight across the midfoot

Loosen the lacing system starting from the eyelets closest to the toe to allow for more natural foot expansion.

Mesh upper has picked up dirt or dust

Use a dry, soft brush to gently lift debris from the weave of the fabric before attempting to wipe with moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ASICS Gel-1130 trainers stay in peak condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the toe box for comfort during movement.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the mesh upper. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the adhesives and material structure.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material fading and structural wear.
