FAQs
Are the Gel-1130 trainers suitable for running?
While based on heritage running models, these are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for daily wear and casual use.
How do I determine my correct size?
The ASICS Gel-1130 fits true to size, but we recommend measuring your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest for the best fit.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and compromise the adhesive and GEL unit. Stick to hand cleaning.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The Gel-1130 is designed with a supportive midsole that offers a stable base, which is generally helpful for those seeking moderate arch support.
What is the best way to remove water stains from the leather?
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat sources, then gently wipe with a dedicated leather cleaner.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface appearing dull
Gently clean with a damp cloth and apply a high-quality leather cream to restore sheen.
Creasing in the toe box
This is normal for leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
Tight fit around the instep
Adjust the lacing tension, opting for a looser lacing pattern to relieve pressure across the top of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-1130 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking-in: Wear them for short durations during the first week to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents that can dry out the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Maintenance: Apply a leather-specific conditioner periodically to maintain the suppleness and prevent stiffening of the material.
