Asics GEL-1130 Trainers - White - Size 8

While inspired by running shoe designs and featuring cushioning technology, the GEL-1130s are primarily repurposed for a lifestyle aesthetic. For dedicated high-performance running, specific running shoe models from Asics might be more suitable.

The TRUSSTIC™ support system is an internal shank that provides midfoot stability. It helps prevent excessive twisting and ensures a more controlled stride.

Refer to Asics' official size guide for women's trainers. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. The specific size listed, UK 8, refers to the available variant.

The shoes come with a standard insole that can usually be removed to accommodate custom orthotics or insoles. Ensure your orthotics are a similar thickness to avoid altering the shoe's fit significantly.

The upper is constructed with a combination of synthetic leather panelling and breathable mesh, offering both durability and ventilation.

The GEL-1130 takes design inspiration from the GEL-KAYANO 14, featuring a similar modern aesthetic. However, the GEL-1130 is positioned more for lifestyle wear, while the GEL-KAYANO 14 is a performance-oriented retro runner.

No, the materials used (mesh and synthetic leather) are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and are suitable for dry conditions.

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between shoe layers. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the issue persists, a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole may help.

Try double-knotting the laces. Ensure the laces are the correct length for the shoe and are not excessively worn.

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Break in the shoes gradually. Consider using supportive insoles if needed, though this may affect the shoe's original cushioning.

Clean marks immediately with a damp cloth. For persistent scuffs on synthetic leather, a specialized leather cleaner or eraser might be effective. Avoid abrasive cleaning tools.
