FAQs
Are ASICS GEL-1130 shoes suitable for running?
While the GEL-1130 draws inspiration from classic running shoes and incorporates cushioning technology, they are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and comfort rather than high-performance running or intense athletic training.
How do I determine the correct size?
The ASICS GEL-1130 typically fits true to standard UK sizing. It is recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, especially considering the combination of mesh and suede materials.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but the suede material on the upper is not water-resistant. It's advisable to avoid heavy rain or standing water to protect the suede and maintain the shoe's appearance. Consider applying a water-repellent spray designed for suede if light moisture exposure is anticipated.
What is the purpose of the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a component placed in the midfoot area of the sole. Its purpose is to provide enhanced stability and reduce the weight of the sole unit, preventing the shoe from twisting excessively during movement and promoting a smoother transition through your stride.
How do I clean the white mesh upper without damaging it?
For the white mesh, use a soft-bristled brush or a clean cloth dampened with a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently scrub the soiled areas. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the mesh fibers. Rinse the cloth and wipe away soap residue, then air dry completely.
Troubleshooting
Suede material appears dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner specifically formulated for footwear, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid water or harsh chemicals.
Shoes feel less stable or supportive over time.
Ensure your laces are tied securely and consistently for optimal foot lockdown. While the TRUSSTIC system provides inherent stability, a proper lacing technique enhances overall support. Replace insoles if they are worn out.
Foot odor develops after prolonged wear.
Remove the insoles after use to allow both the insoles and the shoes to air out thoroughly. Consider using moisture-absorbing inserts or a shoe deodorizer spray. Allow shoes to dry completely between wears.
Outer sole appears worn down quickly.
The rubber outsole is designed for durability; however, excessive wear may indicate a need for more even weight distribution or that the shoes are being used on unusually abrasive surfaces. While not a fix for wear, ensuring proper stride and fit can maximize lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your ASICS GEL-1130 shoes is straightforward. As a lace-up model, simply unlace them, slip your feet in, and then lace them up to your desired comfort and fit. Ensure the laces are snug but not too tight to allow for natural foot movement and blood circulation.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS GEL-1130:
- General Cleaning: For the mesh and synthetic areas, use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub to remove dirt.
- Suede Cleaning: For suede panels, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and scuffs. For deeper stains, a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear is recommended. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: After cleaning, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not put your ASICS GEL-1130 in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoe.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air out the shoes. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda inside the shoes when not in use.
