FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
While designed for ultimate running performance with GEL cushioning and TRUSSTIC support, their suitability for your specific long-distance needs will depend on personal preference and biomechanics. They are built for comfort and stability on various surfaces for a range of runs.
How does the sustainable dyeing process benefit me?
The sustainable dyeing process for the sock liner helps reduce water usage and carbon emissions during manufacturing, making them a more environmentally conscious choice. It does not directly affect your comfort or performance, but contributes to a more sustainable product.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for ASICS GEL-1130 trainers due to the mixed materials (suede, leather, mesh) and advanced cushioning technology. It can damage the materials and integrity of the shoe. Spot clean with mild soap and water, then air dry.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a technology integrated into the sole of the shoe, typically located under the arch. It's designed to reduce the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe, preventing torsion and enhancing stability during movement.
Are these trainers true to size?
ASICS trainers generally run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. It's recommended to consult the ASICS size guide and try them on if possible for the most accurate fit.
What type of surfaces are these best for?
These trainers are versatile and suitable for various running surfaces, including treadmills and pavement, as well as general casual wear. Their cushioning and stability features are designed to perform well on hard and even surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during runs
Ensure proper lacing for a secure yet comfortable fit. Consider trying different socks or insoles if discomfort persists. Review your running form or consult a specialist if the issue continues.
Trainers feel loose or unstable
Tighten the lace-up fastening to ensure your foot is securely held. The TRUSSTIC support system is designed for stability, but an improper fit can negate its benefits. Re-lace your shoes for optimal support.
Suede/leather overlays appear dull or dirty
Gently brush off loose dirt from suede with a specialized suede brush. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Unpleasant odor develops
Remove insoles and allow trainers to air out thoroughly after each use. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure they are fully dry before storage.
