FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers suitable for running?
The GEL-1130 Trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer stable cushioning, they are not optimized for high-impact running or athletic training. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe lines.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used cautiously, following the product's instructions. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
What does the TRUSSTIC™ Support System do?
The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is designed to provide midfoot stability by controlling torsion, helping to prevent the shoe from twisting excessively and offering a more stable stride.
What is the main difference between the GEL-1130 and other ASICS running shoes?
The GEL-1130 is a retro-inspired lifestyle trainer that emphasizes comfort and stability for everyday wear, drawing from older running shoe designs. Dedicated ASICS running shoes are engineered with advanced technologies specifically for performance, cushioning, and support during running activities.
How long does the GEL™ cushioning typically last?
ASICS GEL™ technology is designed for durability. With proper care and for intended lifestyle use, the cushioning should maintain its effectiveness for the typical lifespan of a shoe, which is generally considered to be several hundred miles of wear or a few years of casual use.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. The suede material can be susceptible to water damage and staining. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their appearance and material integrity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting them on. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the break-in period is needed. Consult sizing charts for accuracy.
Discomfort in the heel
Verify that the correct size has been purchased. The GEL™ technology may require a short break-in period. Ensure socks are worn to prevent friction.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, refer to specific suede cleaning product instructions carefully.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. If significantly worn, replacement may be considered.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your GEL-1130 Trainers:

- Insoles: If removable, the insoles can be taken out and aired to reduce odor. Hand wash with mild soap and water if necessary, and allow to air dry completely.

- Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
