FAQs
Can I use these trainers for running?
While inspired by ASICS' running heritage, the GEL-1130 is re-engineered as a lifestyle shoe. It provides comfort and support for everyday wear and light walking, but it is not optimized for high-performance or intense running.
How do I clean my ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers?
Wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is ASICS GEL Technology?
GEL Technology is a cushioning system developed by ASICS. It uses a silicone-based material strategically placed in the shoe, typically in the heel, to absorb impact and provide exceptional comfort and shock absorption.
What does the TRUSSTIC Support System do?
The TRUSSTIC Support System is a component located under the arch of the shoe that provides stability and reduces the overall weight of the sole unit. It helps to control torsion and maintain the shoe's structural integrity during movement.
Are these trainers true to size?
ASICS trainers generally run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly. It's recommended to try them on or consult the ASICS sizing chart if you are unsure.
Are these suitable for all seasons?
With their breathable mesh upper, these trainers are most comfortable in moderate to warm weather. For very cold or wet conditions, you might prefer shoes with less ventilation and more water resistance.
What is the difference between the GEL-1000 series and GEL-1130?
The GEL-1130 pays tribute to the ninth iteration of the GEL-1000 series, specifically inspired by the GEL-KAYANO 14. It takes the classic stability runner design from the early 2000s and updates it with modern materials and comfort for everyday lifestyle wear, rather than being a direct performance running model from the original series.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Adjust the laces. Ensure they are snug without being constricting. If persistent, check your shoe size against the ASICS sizing guide; feet can change size over time.
Squeaking sound while walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and reinserting it. A thin layer of baby powder under the insole can also help.
Unpleasant odor develops
Ensure trainers are fully dry after each use. Remove insoles to air out, or use shoe deodorizers. Washing socks regularly and rotating between multiple pairs of shoes can also help.
Reduced cushioning comfort over time
While GEL technology is durable, cushioning materials can compress over very long periods of heavy use. Consider replacing your insoles, or if the shoes are very old, replacing the trainers themselves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unboxing: Carefully remove your new ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers from their packaging.
- Lacing: Loosen the laces and slide your foot in. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure your heel feels secure and your toes have enough room to wiggle.
- First Wear: Wear your trainers for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape before extended use.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for versatile casual wear. They complement a wide range of outfits including:
- Casual Wear: Jeans, chinos, shorts, and skirts.
- Athleisure: Joggers, leggings, and casual sportswear.
- Urban Style: Suitable for everyday city exploration and street fashion.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and synthetic overlays, gently wipe dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Odour Control: To prevent odors, remove insoles regularly and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
