FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-1130 suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS Gel-1130 is classified as a fashion sneaker. While it offers GEL cushioning for comfort, it is not designed to provide the specialized support and performance required for marathon running. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specific performance running shoe models.
What does 'GEL technology' mean for comfort?
GEL technology is an ASICS cushioning system that uses inserts made of gel material in the heel and/or forefoot of the shoe. It is designed to absorb shock during impact, providing a softer landing and reducing stress on your joints for enhanced comfort.
How should I clean these trainers?
For best results, clean the trainers with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the typical lifespan of these trainers with regular use?
With proper care and regular casual use, ASICS trainers typically last between 6-12 months. Lifespan can vary depending on the frequency of wear, the surfaces they are used on, and individual gait patterns.
Can I wear these with athletic socks?
Yes, wearing athletic socks with the ASICS Gel-1130 trainers is recommended for comfort and hygiene, especially during longer periods of wear.
What is the difference between this and other ASICS running shoes?
The Gel-1130 is primarily a lifestyle or fashion sneaker that draws inspiration from ASICS' running shoe heritage. Dedicated ASICS running shoes are engineered with specific technologies and support features tailored for the demands of different types of running, such as stability, neutral cushioning, or trail running.
Are these trainers breathable?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-1130 features breathable materials in its construction to help keep your feet comfortable during wear.
What is the release date of this model?
The ASICS Gel-1130 model was originally released with a design inspiration dating back to 2008, with specific colorways and updates like the one described having release dates such as 30/04/2022.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too small or tight
ASICS trainers can sometimes run narrow. Consider ordering half a size up or exploring wider fit options if available. Ensure feet are measured accurately before purchasing.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
While designed for comfort, breaking in new shoes may take time. If discomfort persists, ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly and consider using supportive insoles.
Stains on the upper material
For light stains, try a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. For suede or nubuck sections, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush.
