FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While they are based on a 2008 running shoe, the modern GEL-1130 is primarily optimized for lifestyle and urban walking rather than technical sports training.
Is the sizing consistent with other ASICS models?
Yes, they generally follow standard ASICS sizing conventions, but we recommend referencing your specific UK size for the best fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural components. Clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
Yes, the shoe includes stability features originally engineered for the GEL-1000 series, providing a more supportive feel than a standard flat fashion trainer.
Is the material breathable?
The upper is designed with materials conducive to daily comfort, balancing durability with sufficient airflow for urban environments.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the sole
The shoe features a stability-focused build; wear them consistently for 3-5 days to allow the midsole cushioning to adapt to your stride.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot if the laces are new, as factory-finished laces can be slightly slick until they have been worn a few times.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS GEL-1130 trainers stay in peak condition, consider these care tips:
- Break-in Period: Like most structured trainers, wear them for shorter intervals initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the outsole. For the upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution; avoid soaking the shoe.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can compromise the integrity of the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading or yellowing.
