FAQs
What age group is this shoe designed for?
This specific model, the ASICS Gel-1130 White Aqua (GS), is designed in grade school (kids') sizes.
How does the GEL technology benefit my child?
The GEL units in the midsole provide excellent cushioning, absorbing shock and protecting joints from impact stress during physical activities.
Can these shoes be worn for serious running training?
While they offer good cushioning for general wear and light activity, they are primarily designed as trainers and for everyday use. For specialized, high-intensity running training, ASICS may offer models with more specific performance features.
How should I clean these trainers?
Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to clean. Gently scrub the affected areas and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the main aesthetic of the Gel-1130?
The Gel-1130 features a design inspired by early 2000s running shoes, characterized by a bulky silhouette, layered overlays, and a combination of mesh and synthetic materials, often referred to as a Y2K aesthetic.
Is this shoe waterproof?
No, the ASICS Gel-1130 features a breathable mesh upper, which means it is not waterproof. It is designed for ventilation and comfort during dry conditions.
What does '(GS)' stand for in the product name?
'GS' typically stands for Grade School, indicating that this version of the shoe is sized for children rather than adults.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the correct size was purchased. Loosen laces and re-tie, ensuring they are not overly tightened. If still too tight, consider a half-size larger if available.
Discomfort in the heel or arch
The GEL cushioning provides support, but some break-in time may be needed. Ensure laces are tied correctly to secure the foot. For persistent discomfort, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for added arch support.
Outer material showing wear and tear quickly
These shoes have protective overlays, but vigorous play can still cause wear. Ensure the correct size is worn to prevent excessive rubbing. Clean regularly and allow to air dry to maintain material integrity.
Mesh appears dirty
Use a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the mesh areas. Blot with a clean cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.
