ASICS GEL-1130 - Black - Size UK 5

The ASICS GEL-1130 is primarily designed as an everyday lifestyle shoe. While it draws inspiration from early 2000s running heritage, its main purpose is to provide comfortable and stylish footwear for casual walking and daily wear, not high-performance running.

Gently clean with a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a mild soap solution (like dish soap and water) with a damp cloth or sponge. Wipe mesh and synthetic overlays. For leather areas, use a leather-specific cleaner if needed. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash.

GEL Technology is ASICS' signature cushioning system, strategically placed in the heel of the GEL-1130. It's designed to absorb shock during impact, providing excellent comfort and reducing strain on your feet during walking and daily activities.

ASICS shoe sizing is generally consistent. The specific model is UK Size 5. We recommend trying them on if possible or consulting a size chart if you are unsure of your ASICS shoe size compared to other brands.

While the GEL-1130 has running shoe DNA, it is primarily a lifestyle shoe. It offers comfort and support for casual wear and walking. For dedicated running workouts, we recommend shoes specifically engineered for performance running to ensure proper support and cushioning for high-impact activities.

The TRUSSTIC Support System is a technology integrated into the midfoot of the outsole. It helps to reduce the weight of the shoe's sole unit while maintaining its structural integrity. This provides enhanced stability and support, helping to guide the foot during movement.

Ensure you have the correct size. The GEL-1130 is a UK Size 5. Allow for a brief break-in period, as shoes often conform to your foot shape. Try adjusting the laces for a looser fit initially.

The shoe features a breathable mesh upper. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking materials). Clean the mesh regularly to prevent blockages that could hinder airflow. Allow shoes to air out after each wear.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the sole, or by debris. Try removing the insole, cleaning the interior of the shoe and the insole itself, then reinserting it after both are dry. Check the outsole for embedded debris.

Refer to the 'Care & Maintenance' section. Use a soft brush and mild soap solution for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Air dry thoroughly after cleaning.
