ASICS Gel-1130 - Black Graphite Grey - Trainers - UK 11.5

While the GEL-1130 offers good cushioning, it is designed as a versatile trainer rather than a specialized marathon running shoe. For long-distance running, consider ASICS models specifically engineered for marathon performance.

The TRUSSIC support system is a molded component in the midsole that provides torsional rigidity, enhancing stability and preventing the foot from twisting excessively.

The ASICS Gel-1130 is crafted with over 20% recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.

While the shoes offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and to dry them thoroughly if they get damp.

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the width should allow your foot to sit comfortably without feeling pinched.

The Gel-1130 celebrates design evolution with a focus on balanced cushioning and stability, incorporating recycled materials. Its aesthetic is a modern take on classic ASICS trainer designs, making it highly versatile for various uses.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure socks are worn to minimize friction. Check if the lacing is too tight or too loose.

GEL technology is designed for long-term durability, but effectiveness can diminish with extreme wear. Consider replacing the shoes if significant comfort loss occurs after prolonged use.

This can sometimes be caused by friction within the shoe or between the sole and the ground. Try talcum powder inside the shoe or check if the outsole has picked up debris.
