Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the GEL-1130 good for running?
While it features performance-inspired technology like the TRUSSTIC system and GEL cushioning, it is categorized as a lifestyle/casual sneaker and is best suited for walking rather than dedicated athletic training.
Does this shoe run true to size?
Yes, the ASICS GEL-1130 typically fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick socks, some users prefer to go up a half size.
How do I clean the dusty purple details?
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust. If the area is stained, use a damp cloth with mild soap, being careful not to rub the color off the synthetic materials.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, making the shoe compatible with most third-party orthotic inserts.
What is the TRUSSTIC system?
It is a molded component under the midfoot that provides structural integrity, preventing the shoe from twisting unnecessarily during your gait.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
This is a natural occurrence with synthetic leather materials. To minimize it, use shoe trees when the shoes are not being worn to help maintain their shape.
Scuffs on the white exterior
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of baking soda paste to gently buff out surface scuffs from the synthetic panels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS GEL-1130s stay in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild, soapy water to wipe away dirt from the synthetic leather panels. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials or damage the glue.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent the white synthetic components from yellowing or fading.
- Insoles: The provided insoles are removable if you need to insert personal orthotics, ensuring better compatibility for those requiring specific arch support.
