Their key benefit lies in the combination of GEL technology for superior cushioning and a durable, supportive design suitable for everyday wear.

FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-1130 good for running marathons?
The ASICS GEL-1130 are designed as a lifestyle and stability shoe, inspired by older running models. While they offer comfort and support for daily activities, they are not optimized for high-performance running like dedicated marathon shoes.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing guide, which typically matches UK, EU, and US sizing. It is also recommended to check reviews for any specific fit notes related to this model, as sizing can vary slightly between shoe types.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
Yes, the insole is generally removable, allowing space for custom orthotics or insoles. However, confirm the removability of the insole if this is a critical requirement for you.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in the heel?
The GEL technology is designed to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints during walking and standing, thereby enhancing overall comfort.
How should I clean the leather overlays?
Use a damp cloth to wipe the leather clean. For tougher marks, a leather cleaner specifically designed for athletic shoes can be used sparingly. Always allow leather to air dry.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These trainers are generally designed with a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find them a bit snug. It's advisable to try them on or consult user reviews regarding width.
What is the TRUSSTIC™ Support System?
The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is a feature in the midsole that provides stability and reduces the risk of the shoe twisting, which helps to control pronation and offer a more secure stride.
Troubleshooting
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. For significantly wet conditions, exercise caution as with any footwear.
Slight discomfort during the first few wears.
This is common as the shoes break in. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly.
Mesh appears dirty or stained.
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush, cool water, and mild detergent. Blot with a clean cloth and allow to air dry.
