FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all sports?
The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are excellent for running, general active play, and many school sports due to their stability and cushioning. For highly specialized sports, a dedicated shoe designed for that specific activity might offer additional benefits.
How often should I clean these trainers?
It depends on usage. For active kids, a quick wipe-down after dirty activities is beneficial. A more thorough cleaning can be done every few weeks or as needed to maintain hygiene and appearance.
What is the 'TRUSSTIC support system'?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a component integrated into the midfoot of the shoe. It helps to stabilize the foot, prevent excessive twisting, and maintain the shoe's structural integrity during dynamic movements, enhancing overall support.
Does the GEL technology require special care?
No special care is needed for the GEL technology itself. Simply follow the general shoe care instructions for cleaning and drying to ensure the longevity of all shoe components, including the GEL cushioning.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
Measure your child's foot length from heel to longest toe while standing. Compare this to ASICS's size chart. Always leave a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.
Is the 'dope dyed sockliner' visible or just an internal feature?
The dope dyed sockliner is an internal component that rests directly under your child's foot. While it contributes to comfort and has environmental benefits, its primary function is not external visibility.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub.
Check the lacing: ensure it's snug but not too tight. Make sure your child is wearing appropriate athletic socks. If discomfort persists, verify the size; feet can grow quickly.
Poor traction on certain surfaces.
Inspect the outsole for dirt or debris and clean thoroughly. Check for excessive wear on the tread, which may indicate it's time for new shoes, especially on heavily used areas.
Unpleasant odor develops in the shoes.
Remove the sockliners after use to allow both the shoes and sockliners to air out. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure shoes are completely dry after use or cleaning.
Shoes appear dirty or stained.
Clean promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, a soft brush and a dedicated shoe cleaner can be used. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Your ASICS GEL-1130 trainers require no complex setup. Simply ensure the laces are properly tied for a secure and comfortable fit before use. It's recommended to try them on with athletic socks to confirm the sizing and comfort.
Compatibility

- Running and jogging
- School sports and physical education (PE)
- Playground activities and general active play
- Everyday casual wear where comfort and support are desired
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:
- Cleaning: For surface dirt, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, remove laces and sockliners, and hand wash the shoes with cool water and a gentle brush. Avoid harsh detergents.
- 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 and adhesives.
- Odor Control: Remove sockliners regularly to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside the shoes when not in use.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in damp environments to prevent mildew.
- Avoid Submersion: While durable, excessive submersion in water can compromise shoe materials and cushioning.
