FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They offer good cushioning but may not provide the specialized support and features required for high-mileage marathon running.

How do I know if I have the right size?

It's best to measure your foot and compare it with the ASICS size guide. Trying the shoes on, ideally at the end of the day when feet are slightly larger, can also help determine the correct fit. Ensure there's enough room in the toe box and no heel slippage.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. They are suitable for light rain, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles is not recommended. Ensure they are properly dried afterward.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology in the midsole is designed to absorb shock efficiently. This provides a softer landing and reduces the impact on your joints, contributing to overall comfort during walking and standing.

How often should I clean my GEL-1130 trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed when they appear dirty. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is good for minor marks. A more thorough cleaning might be required after heavy use or exposure to dirt.

What does the TRUSSTIC support system do?

The TRUSSTIC support system is located in the midfoot and provides stability. It helps to control pronation (the inward rolling of the foot) and enhances torsional rigidity, leading to a more stable and controlled stride.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The standard fit is designed for average foot widths. If you have wider feet, it's advisable to check for available wide (2E or 4E) options or try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, as the standard width might feel snug.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if a period of breaking them in is needed.

Slight discomfort during initial wear

This is common with new shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow them to mold to your feet. If discomfort persists after a few wears, ensure you have the correct size and width.

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides grip, but performance may be diminished on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or cloth using mild soap and cool water. Avoid soaking the shoe. Ensure it air dries completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Upon receiving them, ensure they fit comfortably. It's recommended to wear them indoors for a short period to check the fit before extended use.

Compatibility: The ASICS GEL-1130 are designed as versatile trainers suitable for most adults. They are compatible with standard athletic socks and can be worn for a range of casual activities. Their sizing is based on UK adult male standards, but it's always advisable to consult a size guide or try them on if possible.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For mesh and synthetic parts, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently clean away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. Stubborn dirt on the rubber outsole can be removed with a slightly stiffer brush.
  3. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Laces: Remove laces for separate washing by hand with soap and water, then air dry.
