FAQs

Is the ASICS GEL-1130 a dedicated running shoe?

The GEL-1130 is rooted in ASICS's early 2000s running heritage and features running shoe technology like GEL cushioning and a TRUSSTIC system. However, it has evolved into a modern lifestyle sneaker, optimized for everyday comfort and style rather than high-performance running.

How do I clean the white mesh and synthetic parts of the sneaker?

For best results, gently clean the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

What is GEL Technology?

ASICS GEL Technology is a silicone-based cushioning system strategically placed in the shoe (in this case, the heel) to absorb shock during impact, providing excellent comfort and reducing strain on your joints.

What does the TRUSSTIC Support System do?

The TRUSSTIC Support System is a lightweight component positioned in the midfoot of the sole. It helps to stabilize the shoe, preventing excessive twisting and providing a more stable and supportive ride, enhancing overall comfort and safety.

Can I wear these sneakers in rainy weather?

While the name includes 'Rainy Lake', these sneakers are not waterproof. The mesh upper, while breathable, will allow water penetration. It's best to avoid heavy rain to protect the materials and keep your feet dry.

Are these sneakers true to size?

ASICS sneakers generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are typically between sizes, consider trying the next half size up.

What is the material composition of the upper?

The upper features a combination of breathable mesh textile for ventilation and synthetic/suede overlays for structure, durability, and stylistic detailing.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel unusually warm or sweaty.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks, preferably moisture-wicking athletic socks. Also, regularly clean the mesh upper to ensure optimal breathability. Allow shoes to air out between uses.

The shoe makes a slight squeaking noise when I walk.

Check if the laces are tied too tightly or too loosely, as this can sometimes cause friction. Ensure the insole is properly seated. If the noise persists, clean the outsole thoroughly, as trapped debris can sometimes cause squeaks.

The comfort seems to have decreased over time.

While durable, all footwear has a lifespan. If comfort has significantly diminished after extensive wear, it might be time to consider replacing them. Ensure the insoles are not worn out; sometimes replacing them can extend comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

They are designed for everyday wear, light walking, and casual social activities. While inspired by running, they are best suited for lifestyle use rather than intensive sports.

Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your ASICS GEL-1130 sneakers:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and synthetic overlays, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub soiled areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
  • Drying: Allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation.
  • Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your sneakers, as this can damage the cushioning, glues, and overall structure.
