FAQs
Are the Asics GEL-1130 suitable for running?
The GEL-1130 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual trainer. While they offer good cushioning for walking and light activities, they may not provide the specific support and performance required for serious or long-distance running.
What is the main benefit of the TRUSSTIC™ Support System?
The TRUSSTIC™ Support System provides stability in the midfoot, helping to prevent excessive twisting of the shoe and contributing to a more controlled stride.
How do I clean the mesh and leather parts of the trainers?
Gently wipe the mesh and leather with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed with a combination of breathable mesh and durable leather overlays.
Can these trainers be worn by women?
While designed for men, women can wear these trainers. It is recommended to consult a sizing chart and potentially go down a size or 1.5 sizes from their usual women's size for a comparable fit.
What is the inspiration behind the GEL-1130 design?
The GEL-1130 is a tribute to the Asics GEL-1000™ series, evolving over decades of design innovation from Asics.
What kind of outsole do these trainers have?
They feature a durable rubber outsole designed for good traction and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on arrival
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.
Reduced cushioning over time
Ensure the shoes are not overused for high-impact activities. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain the integrity of the cushioning materials.
Poor traction on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole is designed for general traction. For wet surfaces, exercise caution as grip may be reduced. Avoid prolonged use in very wet conditions.
