FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-1130 suitable for running?
The Gel-1130 is designed as a lifestyle trainer inspired by running shoe aesthetics. While they offer cushioning and support for everyday activities and light workouts, they are not optimized for high-impact running or competitive athletic performance.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on their official website or the retailer's product page. Generally, you should measure your foot length and compare it to the provided chart. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The trainers are not waterproof. They can handle light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water is not recommended and may affect the materials and comfort.
What is the purpose of the TRUSSTIC system?
The TRUSSTIC system is a midfoot structural component that adds stability by preventing excessive twisting or torsion of the shoe, providing a more controlled and supported movement.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed. Regular spot cleaning of dirt and mud will help maintain their appearance and longevity. Deep cleaning should be done sparingly to avoid damaging the materials.
What is the main difference between the Gel-1130 and other ASICS models?
The Gel-1130 often features a design rooted in early 2000s running shoe trends, focusing on a blend of retro style and everyday comfort. Other ASICS models might cater to specific sports with advanced technologies for performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring not to overtighten. If the issue persists, consider using thinner socks or exploring sock liners for a snugger fit.
Discomfort in the heel
Ensure the laces are correctly tied to utilize the heel counter effectively. Check if the shoe size is appropriate; a shoe that is too small can cause heel discomfort.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the shoe's components. Try wearing them for a bit longer to break them in, or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if accessible.
Color transfer to socks
In rare cases, new dark-colored shoes might transfer dye, especially when wet. Wash the inside of the shoe gently with a damp cloth and allow it to dry completely before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
The ASICS Gel-1130 trainers are designed for adult males. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic apparel. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a mild soap solution with lukewarm water and a cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
