FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for serious running?

While inspired by ASICS' running heritage and featuring GEL technology, the GEL-1130 is primarily designed as an everyday lifestyle shoe, not for high-intensity, competitive running or specialized athletic training.

How do I clean my ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers?

For the mesh and synthetic upper, gently wipe with a soft cloth or brush using mild soap and cool water. Clean the rubber outsole with a brush. Always air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

What is the GEL technology in these trainers?

GEL technology is a silicone-based material strategically placed in the heel of the midsole. It provides superior shock absorption, cushioning, and comfort by dissipating impact force during walking.

Are these trainers true to size?

ASICS generally aims for true-to-size fit. However, foot shapes vary. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the UK 7 sizing.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or preferred aftermarket insoles for personalized comfort and support.

What kind of support does the TRUSSTIC system provide?

The TRUSSTIC Support System is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe. It provides enhanced stability, reduces the weight of the sole unit, and helps control torsion during movement, offering a more supportive stride.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

Info needed: [Specific width options or general fit assessment for wide feet is not available in the provided data. Generally, ASICS offers standard widths, with specific wide-fit models often indicated.]

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing pattern. Try loosening the laces in areas of pressure or tightening them for a more secure fit. Ensure you have the correct size for your foot length and width.

Squeaking sound when walking

A new pair of shoes might squeak temporarily during the break-in period. If it persists, check for any trapped debris between the outsole and upper, or between the insole and sole. Sometimes applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole can help.

Foot odor develops

Ensure you wear breathable socks. Remove the insoles regularly to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizing sprays or inserts. Allow shoes to fully dry between wears.

Lack of grip on certain surfaces

Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear or blockages from dirt/mud. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If the sole is significantly worn, the shoe's traction capabilities will be reduced.

Upper material appears dirty or discolored

Clean immediately with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap. Regular gentle cleaning prevents dirt from setting into the mesh and synthetic overlays, preserving the 'Pale Oak' and 'Menthol' appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly and adjust them to provide a snug, comfortable fit across your foot. Not too tight, not too loose.
  2. Initial Fit: Wear the trainers around the house for a short period to confirm the fit and feel. Ensure your toes have enough room to wiggle slightly and your heel feels secure.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for versatility in your everyday life:

  • Ideal for: Daily casual wear, urban exploration, light walking, commuting, social outings, and standing for extended periods.
  • Pairing: Excellent with casual attire such as jeans, chinos, shorts, and athletic-inspired clothing.
  • Not recommended for: High-performance sports, competitive running, demanding trail hiking, or activities requiring specialized footwear.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft brush or a damp cloth using mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers), as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers if needed.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You may use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
