Asics GEL-1130 Trainer - Grey - Size 12

The Asics GEL-1130 are retro-inspired trainers with a focus on lifestyle wear. While they incorporate running shoe technology like GEL™ cushioning and TRUSSTIC™ support from 2008, they are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light activity, rather than intensive or competitive running.

For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher marks or stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally after cleaning.

The TRUSSTIC™ support system provides torsional rigidity to the shoe, helping to control pronation and enhance overall stability during movement, particularly useful for walking and standing.

Yes, the trainers generally accommodate custom orthotics or insoles. The original insole can typically be removed to make space.

The upper combines breathable mesh with suede panelling for a mix of comfort, ventilation, and aesthetic appeal.

No, the mesh and suede construction means these trainers are not waterproof. They offer breathability but will not protect against heavy rain or immersion in water.

While featuring running technology, the GEL-1130 has been adapted for a lifestyle aesthetic. Pure running shoes often have more advanced cushioning systems, lighter materials, and designs optimized for the specific biomechanics of running at higher speeds.

Ensure you have the correct size and wear appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear.

Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For wet stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and allow to air dry. Use a dedicated suede cleaner for tougher stains.

The GEL™ technology is designed for durability, but prolonged heavy use will eventually reduce its effectiveness. For significantly diminished cushioning, replacement may be necessary.

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight during wear.
