FAQs
What is the main purpose of the GEL-1130 trainers?
The GEL-1130 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and a retro aesthetic inspired by Asics' running shoe history. They are suitable for everyday activities and light training.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While they feature GEL™ cushioning, the GEL-1130 is best suited for casual wear and light activities. For marathon running, it is recommended to use specialized running shoes designed for high-performance and long-distance racing.
How do I clean the White / Taro Purple colorway?
Clean the mesh and leather using a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
What does the TRUSSTIC™ Support System do?
The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is integrated into the midsole to provide stability through the midfoot, helping to control pronation and reduce the risk of twisting.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should feel snug but not tight. There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Trying them on with your preferred type of socks is recommended.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
The rubber outsole provides traction, but the mesh upper is not waterproof. They are suitable for light rain, but prolonged exposure to wet conditions may affect comfort and material integrity.
What is the material of the overlays?
The overlays on the Asics GEL-1130 trainers are made of leather, providing structure and durability to the shoe's design.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially. If still tight after a few wears, consider using a shoe stretcher or ensuring you have the correct size.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try dusting the inside with talcum powder or checking if the insole is seated correctly.
Laces wear out quickly
Replace with durable, high-quality replacement laces. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight during wear.
Discoloration on white areas
Clean promptly with a mild soap and water solution and a soft cloth. Avoid exposure to excessive direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
