FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

The Gel-1130 features GEL technology for cushioning, making them suitable for light jogging. However, they are not specifically designed as high-performance marathon running shoes and may lack the specialized features and support required for extreme distances.

What does 'TRUSSIC support' mean?

TRUSSIC support is a feature in the midsole of the shoe that provides stability and helps to control the rate of pronation (inward rolling of the foot), thereby enhancing overall structural integrity and reducing the risk of foot fatigue or injury.

How much recycled material is used in these shoes?

The ASICS Gel-1130 trainers are crafted with over 20% recycled materials, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces to maintain their condition and prevent discomfort.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?

The primary benefit of GEL technology in the heel is superior shock absorption, which helps to reduce impact on the joints and provides a softer landing during walking or running.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot length. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary. Ensure there is adequate room in the toe box.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Try wearing thinner socks or consider if the size is appropriate. Some materials may stretch slightly with wear, but significant tightness may indicate an incorrect size.

Reduced cushioning effect

The GEL technology provides lasting cushioning. If you feel a significant reduction, ensure the shoe has not been exposed to extreme conditions or heavy wear that could compromise the midsole.

Discomfort in the arch area

The TRUSSIC support is designed to aid stability. If discomfort persists, ensure the shoe is laced correctly. For persistent issues, consult a footwear professional.

Color transfer from shoe to socks

This can occasionally happen with new, darker footwear. Try wearing darker socks initially or rinse the inside of the shoe with cold water and allow it to dry completely.
