FAQs

What is ASICS GEL Technology?

ASICS GEL Technology is a cushioning system located in the heel of the trainer. It uses a silicone-based material to absorb shock and provide a soft landing with each step, enhancing comfort and reducing impact on your joints.

What is the TRUSSTIC™ support system?

The TRUSSTIC™ support system is a lightweight component positioned under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to provide enhanced stability, preventing excessive twisting of the foot during movement and maintaining the shoe's structural integrity.

Are these trainers suitable for serious running?

The ASICS Gel-1130 Trainers are inspired by running shoe blueprints and offer stability and cushioning suitable for light running, jogging, and everyday athletic activities. For serious, high-mileage, or performance-oriented running, ASICS offers more specialized running shoes.

How do I clean my ASICS Gel-1130 Trainers?

For general cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water on the mesh upper and synthetic leather overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What does 'dope dyed sockliner' mean?

A dope dyed sockliner refers to a dyeing process where pigment is added to the raw material solution before it's spun into yarn. This method significantly reduces water usage (by approx. 33%) and carbon emissions (by approx. 45%) compared to traditional dyeing techniques, making it more environmentally friendly.

What materials are these trainers made from?

These trainers feature a mesh upper for breathability, complemented by synthetic leather overlays for durability and style. They have an EVA midsole for cushioning and a durable rubber outsole for traction.

Are these trainers true to size?

ASICS trainers typically run true to size, but fit can vary slightly. It's recommended to consult the ASICS size chart and consider your usual UK shoe size for men. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for comfort.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Re-lace the shoes, trying different lacing patterns that might alleviate pressure points. If discomfort persists, check your foot measurement against ASICS' size guide, as fit can vary.

Foot odor is developing in the trainers.

Remove insoles regularly to air out the shoes. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda in the shoes overnight (remove before wear). Ensure trainers are completely dry after use before storing.

Loss of traction on certain surfaces.

Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear or debris lodged in the tread. Clean the outsole with a stiff brush and water to remove dirt. If the outsole is severely worn, it may be time to consider replacing the trainers.

Synthetic leather panels appear dull or dirty.

Wipe down synthetic leather sections with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap. Follow up with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue, then air dry.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS Gel-1130 Trainers.

  • Cleaning: For mesh and synthetic leather surfaces, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water. Gently scrub soiled areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
  • Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air out. Use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight to absorb odors.
  • Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with crumpled paper can help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid Submerging: Do not submerge trainers in water, as this can compromise adhesives and material integrity.
