ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers - White - UK 4.5

ASICS GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system strategically placed in the sole, typically in the heel, to absorb shock during impact and provide enhanced comfort.

The TRUSSTIC support system is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe that provides enhanced stability, rigidity, and prevents the shoe from twisting excessively during motion.

The GEL-1130 trainers were originally designed as stable running shoes and are suitable for light to moderate running, daily jogs, and gym workouts. For competitive or long-distance running, more specialized ASICS models might be preferred.

ASICS shoes generally run true to size. It's recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, especially considering individual foot shape. This specific model is a UK size 4.5.

The ASICS GEL-1130 features synthetic leather overlays for durability and structure, combined with breathable mesh underlays for ventilation. The sole incorporates rubber for grip and the GEL technology for cushioning.

Spot clean with a soft brush or damp cloth using mild soap. Air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or submerge in water.

The insole of the ASICS GEL-1130 is manufactured using a solution dyeing method, which significantly reduces water consumption and carbon dioxide emissions during its production, aligning with sustainable practices.

The GEL-1130 trainers have a distinctive late 2000s retro aesthetic, drawing inspiration from the iconic GEL-KAYANO 14. They offer a blend of athletic heritage and modern street style.

Ensure you have the correct size. If new, allow for a break-in period. You might also consider trying different socks or custom insoles if discomfort persists.

Check that the laces are securely and evenly tied. The TRUSSTIC system provides inherent stability, but improper lacing can affect fit. If the sole appears worn, consider replacement.

Ensure you air out your shoes properly after each use. Remove insoles occasionally to let them dry. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Gently wipe the scuff marks with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For persistent dirt, a soft brush can be used, then wipe clean and air dry.

Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mixture of mild soap and water to gently scrub the mesh. Rinse with a damp cloth, being careful not to soak the shoe, and then air dry.
