FAQs

Are the ASICS GEL-1130 suitable for running?

The GEL-1130 trainers are designed with comfort and stability for everyday wear and light activities. While they incorporate cushioning technology, they are not specialized running shoes and may lack the specific support required for high-impact running.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing guide and measure your foot length. Compare your measurement to the UK sizing chart provided. Consider that this is a unisex model.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The materials, particularly the leather overlays and cushioning technology, can be damaged by the washing machine cycle. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

What is the purpose of the TRUSSTIC™ Support System?

The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is located in the midfoot and is designed to provide stability by preventing excessive twisting of the shoe, ensuring a more controlled and secure stride.

How does the GEL™ Technology improve comfort?

The GEL™ Technology, typically located in the heel, is a shock-absorbing material that disperses impact forces. This leads to enhanced cushioning and reduced stress on your joints during walking and standing.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are not waterproof. They are made with mesh and leather, which offer breathability but will allow water to penetrate.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

For best comfort and to manage moisture, it is recommended to wear athletic or trainer socks made from breathable materials like cotton blends or performance synthetics.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing system to provide a more secure or relaxed fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.

Discomfort during initial wear.

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. The materials will adapt to your foot shape over time. Ensure the lacing is appropriate.

Traction seems insufficient on wet surfaces.

The rubber outsole provides good traction on most surfaces, but caution is advised on very wet or slippery conditions. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris that could affect grip.

Leather overlays showing scuffs or marks.

Gently clean with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner suitable for trainers may help restore appearance. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are designed for unisex adult wear. They are versatile for various casual outfits, from jeans to athleisure wear. While they incorporate supportive features, they are best suited for lifestyle and light activity rather than rigorous athletic training.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and leather overlays with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole and midsole with a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap diluted in water.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can distort the shape or damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
