FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for all types of sports?
The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are primarily designed for everyday comfort and casual wear for juniors. While they offer good support and cushioning, for specialized high-impact sports or specific athletic training, you might consider shoes specifically designed for those activities.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's foot length and width, then comparing it to the ASICS sizing chart for juniors. It's often best to measure at the end of the day when feet are at their largest. These specific trainers are UK Size 5.
What is 'GEL cushioning' and how does it help?
GEL technology in ASICS shoes refers to strategically placed silicone-based material that provides superior shock absorption. In the GEL-1130, it's typically found in the heel to help attenuate impact during footstrike, offering a smoother and more comfortable ride.
What is the TRUSSTIC system?
The TRUSSTIC system is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to provide stability and reduce the weight of the sole unit while retaining the shoe's structural integrity, helping to prevent the shoe from twisting excessively during movement.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning of the trainers. Please follow the care instructions provided, which involve spot cleaning with a mild soap and damp cloth.
Are these trainers slip-resistant?
The ASICS GEL-1130 features a grippy rubber outsole designed to provide firm traction on various common surfaces. While they offer good grip for everyday use, they are not specifically certified as slip-resistant work shoes.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tight. Check if the size is correct; compare with other shoes or re-measure foot size. Allow a short break-in period for the materials to adapt to the foot.
Soles feel slippery or are losing grip.
Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear or foreign objects embedded in the tread. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a stiff brush and water to remove any dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the trainers.
Remove the insoles and allow both the insoles and the trainers to air out thoroughly. Use an absorbent material like baking soda (placed in socks inside the shoes overnight) or a shoe deodorizer spray. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained.
Gently clean the affected area with a soft cloth or brush, using a small amount of mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid scrubbing aggressively, which can damage the mesh. Pat dry with a clean cloth and air dry completely.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ASICS GEL-1130 trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh upper and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp materials or degrade adhesives.
- Odor Control: If needed, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight to absorb odors.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
- Lace Care: Periodically check laces for wear and tear. Replace them if they become frayed to maintain a secure fit.
