FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-1130 suitable for running?

The Gel-1130 is inspired by running shoe designs from 2008 and features GEL cushioning for comfort. However, it is primarily marketed as a lifestyle or fashion sneaker and is best suited for casual wear rather than intense athletic training or performance running.

How do I clean the black and graphite grey colorway?

For the black and graphite grey colorway, use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn stains, a small amount of mild soap with water can be applied with a cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.

What is the main advantage of the GEL technology in these trainers?

The GEL technology in the heel of the ASICS Gel-1130 provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning, offering enhanced comfort for all-day wear and reducing impact during walking.

Are these trainers breathable?

Yes, the construction of the ASICS Gel-1130 includes materials that promote breathability, helping to keep your feet comfortable during wear.

What year was the original design inspired by?

The ASICS Gel-1130 trainers pay homage to the ninth iteration of the GEL-1000 series, a stability running shoe originally released in 2008.

Can these be worn in wet conditions?

While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Extended exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces may saturate the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and ensure they are properly dried if they do get wet.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and compare with your current footwear. Consider trying them on in-store if possible or consult product reviews for fit guidance. Minor variations can occur between models.

Discomfort after short wear

Ensure the laces are properly adjusted for a snug but not tight fit. Break-in periods may be required for new shoes; wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Surface dirt on the shoes

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent dirt on the midsole, a magic eraser can be carefully used. Ensure the shoe dries naturally afterwards.
