FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, it is recommended to clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild detergent to preserve the cushioning and structure.

Is the sizing true to UK standards?

Yes, the ASICS Gel-1130 follows standard UK children's footwear sizing.

What is the TRUSSTIC system?

It is a rigid, plastic-like component under the arch that helps keep the shoe stable and prevents it from twisting during movement.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The standard fit is accommodating, but if your child has very wide feet, you may want to ensure they try them on with their preferred sock thickness.

What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning?

The GEL technology is designed specifically to absorb shock upon heel strike, protecting the joints during physical activity.

Troubleshooting

The trainers feel stiff when new

Like most performance footwear, these require a short break-in period; wear them for shorter durations for the first few days.

Dirt buildup in the mesh

Use a dry toothbrush to gently agitate and remove debris from the mesh pores before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-1130 trainers, regular maintenance is recommended. Ensure the shoes fit correctly with a thumb's width of space at the toes to allow for natural growth and movement. For cleaning, remove loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush. Hand wash the exterior with cold water and a mild detergent if necessary, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can warp the synthetic materials. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these processes can degrade the integrity of the GEL technology and the adhesive bonds.
