FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers are designed as lifestyle shoes with early 2000s running heritage aesthetics and comfortable GEL cushioning for everyday wear. While inspired by running shoes, they are not optimized for high-performance running or intense athletic training.

How do I clean the mesh material?

For the mesh upper, gently wipe with a soft brush or cloth dampened with a mild soap solution. Avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent damage to the material. Always air dry.

What is GEL Technology cushioning?

GEL Technology cushioning is a proprietary ASICS technology that uses gel-like material strategically placed in the sole, typically the heel, to absorb shock and provide a softer feel upon impact, enhancing overall comfort.

What is the TRUSSTIC Support System?

The TRUSSTIC Support System is a lightweight component located in the midfoot area of the sole. It helps to enhance stability and reduce the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe, preventing excessive twisting.

Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?

No, it is strongly advised not to machine wash your ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, cushioning, and overall structure of the shoes, potentially voiding any warranty.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

For optimal comfort and to manage moisture, it's recommended to wear athletic socks made from moisture-wicking materials. This will help keep your feet dry and comfortable throughout the day.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too stiff initially.

New shoes often require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations for the first few days to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. The GEL cushioning will become more responsive over time.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area underneath, and reinserting it. If the issue persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can sometimes resolve it.

Foot feels hot or sweaty.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. The mesh upper provides breathability, but proper sock choice is also crucial for comfort. If possible, remove your shoes periodically to allow your feet to air out.

Outsole seems to lack grip on certain surfaces.

The arched rubber outsole provides anatomical grip for general everyday use. For specific highly slippery or wet conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris that could reduce traction.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For light dirt or marks, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic panels.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, remove the laces and insoles. Hand wash the trainers using a soft brush, mild soap, and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  4. Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoes.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Keep them in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust.
