FAQs
What is the primary inspiration for the GEL 1130 design?
The GEL 1130 gets its inspiration from the GEL-KAYANO 14 sneaker blueprint, featuring a modern aesthetic while using traditional materials.
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
While they offer cushioning and support, the GEL 1130 is best suited for casual wear, daily activities, and light training rather than high-performance, long-distance running.
How should I clean my Asics GEL 1130 trainers?
Clean with a soft brush or cloth for loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for stains. Allow to air dry naturally and avoid harsh chemicals.
Do these trainers come in other colours or sizes?
Yes, the Asics GEL 1130 series is available in various colourways and sizes, including unisex options and different secondary colours like green and silver. Please check product listings for specific availability.
What material is used for the panelling?
The trainers feature synthetic leather panelling, which enhances their durability and aesthetic appeal.
Is the sizing true to size?
While generally true to size for many, some users find the fit to be on the narrower side. It's recommended to consider your foot width when selecting a size.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too narrow
Try wearing thinner socks, or consider using a shoe stretcher for a wider fit. If the narrowness persists and is uncomfortable, it might be beneficial to explore wider width options if available or a different model.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are tying a secure knot. You can also double-knot the laces or use a lace lock accessory for added security.
Discomfort after initial wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. If discomfort persists, check for any internal seams or rough patches that might be causing irritation.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, lightly dampen a cloth with water and mild soap, then gently wipe the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain their shape and material integrity.
- Material Maintenance: The synthetic leather can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For the mesh or fabric parts, a gentle brushing is usually sufficient.
