FAQs
What is the primary design purpose of the GEL-1130?
The GEL-1130 is designed as a lifestyle and casual wear trainer, inspired by a 2008 stability running shoe. It prioritizes comfort and everyday wearability with retro aesthetics.
How does the GEL™ Technology help?
The GEL™ Technology in the heel provides enhanced shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during walking and standing.
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
No, the GEL-1130 is not designed for high-performance running. While they offer comfort and support for daily activities, they lack the specific features required for demanding athletic events.
What materials are used in the ASICS GEL-1130?
The trainers feature a breathable mesh upper with supportive leather overlays and a durable rubber outsole.
How should I clean my GEL-1130 trainers?
Clean the upper with a soft brush for loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for stains. Air dry at room temperature and avoid direct heat.
What does the TRUSSTIC™ Support System do?
The TRUSSTIC™ Support System controls torsion within the shoe, enhancing midfoot structural integrity and stability.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some traction, the mesh upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may not be ideal.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have chosen the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
The GEL™ cushioning may take some time to break in. If after extended wear the cushioning feels inadequate, consider if the shoes are suitable for your intended activity level. These are designed for lifestyle comfort.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe base, or moisture. Try removing the insole, drying it, and reinserting it. If the noise persists, it might be a manufacturing anomaly.
Traction seems poor
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the shoes are significantly worn, the tread may be diminished, requiring replacement.
