ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers - Beige - UK 5.5

The GEL-1130 are primarily designed for comfort, support, and retro style for daily wear and light training. For serious marathon running, ASICS offers specific performance running shoes with advanced features for that purpose.

We recommend trying the shoes on in person if possible. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.

While the synthetic materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. For wet weather, consider water-resistant or waterproof footwear.

The TRUSSTIC support system is located in the midsole and helps to provide stability by controlling torsion or twisting of the sole, thereby aiding in smoother transitions during movement.

Wipe the synthetic leather overlays with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.

The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers draw design inspiration from the GEL-1000 series and specifically incorporate design cues from the GEL-KAYANO 14 sneaker, aiming for a late 2000s aesthetic.

Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks for initial wear to help stretch them slightly.

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the sole layers or friction. Try inserting a powder (like talcum powder) into the shoe, especially under the insole. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.

Gently scrub the mesh with a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and water. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. For stubborn stains, a specialized shoe cleaner might be necessary.
