FAQs

What makes the ASICS Gel-1130 sustainable?

The shoe is crafted using over 20% recycled materials, contributing to a reduced environmental impact.

Is the ASICS Gel-1130 suitable for long-distance running?

While it offers good cushioning and support for general wear and shorter runs, it is primarily designed as a versatile trainer. For dedicated long-distance running, specialized running shoes might offer more advanced features.

How does the TRUSSIC support system work?

The TRUSSIC system is a plastic shank located in the midsole that provides torsional rigidity, preventing excessive twisting of the foot and enhancing stability.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

The rubber sole provides some traction, but the leather upper is not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments to protect the material.

What is the main benefit of GEL technology in this shoe?

The GEL technology, located in the heel, is designed to absorb shock effectively, providing enhanced comfort and reducing impact on your joints during physical activity.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A proper fit should allow about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Ensure there is no pinching or excessive slipping when walking.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try dusting the inside of the shoe with talcum powder or baking soda, or ensure the laces are tied correctly.

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, the shoe may need a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but its effectiveness can decrease with very heavy use. Consider replacing the shoes if significant performance degradation occurs after extensive wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: The ASICS Gel-1130 is designed for adult male wearers and is suitable for a range of activities, including running, training, and casual wear. It is generally compatible with most athletic socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush or cloth to clean the rubber sole. Remove any debris stuck in the tread.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
