FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for serious running?
The ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers are designed with comfort and stability, making them suitable for light running, gym workouts, and general fitness. While they incorporate performance technologies like GEL cushioning, dedicated long-distance or competitive runners might prefer models specifically engineered for those demands.
How do I clean my ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers?
For the mesh and synthetic upper, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub, then wipe clean. For the rubber sole, use a stiffer brush to remove dirt. Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash.
What is ASICS GEL technology?
ASICS GEL technology is a proprietary cushioning system designed to attenuate shock during impact. In the GEL-1130, it's strategically placed in the heel to provide superior comfort and absorb the impact of each step, reducing stress on your joints.
Do these trainers run true to size?
ASICS trainers generally run true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual trainer size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. Always ensure a comfortable fit with a small space at the toe and a secure heel.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, the ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers are well-suited for a variety of gym workouts, including cardio, light strength training, and group fitness classes. Their cushioning, stability, and secure fit provide good support for these activities.
What is the TRUSSTIC Support System?
The TRUSSTIC Support System is a technology found in the midfoot area of the trainer. It helps to reinforce the sole, providing stability and reducing the weight of the shoe while maintaining its structural integrity, thereby guiding the foot's motion and preventing excessive twisting.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace fastening. Experiment with different lacing techniques (e.g., skip an eyelet, use a runner's knot) to customize the fit to your foot shape. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Tighten the laces, particularly around the ankle collar. Check your sock type; thicker or thinner socks can affect fit. If the issue persists, consider trying an alternative lacing pattern for better heel lock.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure you are using a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, more durable athletic laces.
Minor discomfort during initial wear
Allow for a break-in period. Wear your trainers for short periods initially to let them adapt to your foot. Ensure socks are smooth and don't bunch.
Trainers squeak when walking
Sometimes squeaking can be due to air trapped between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a little baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak is from the outsole, it may be due to the surface you are walking on.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional Comfort: GEL technology and EVA midsole provide superior cushioning for all-day wear and various activities.
- Versatile Use: Designed for both athletic pursuits and as an everyday lifestyle shoe, bridging performance and style.
- Enhanced Stability: Features like the TRUSSTIC Support System and rubber outsole contribute to a secure and stable feel.
- Breathable and Durable Upper: Mesh upper with rip-stop and no-sew reinforcements offers both airflow and robust construction.
- Stylish Aesthetic: Blends retro running heritage with modern design elements, including metallic panelling and tonal blocking, for a unique look.
- Secure Fit: Full lace fastening allows for precise adjustment and a locked-in feel.
Cons
- Specialized Running: Info needed: While suitable for general athletic use, specific performance metrics for highly specialized competitive running are not detailed.
- Material Clarity: Product attributes sometimes list "Leather" while description focuses on "Mesh" and "Synthetic Overlays," potentially causing confusion on exact material composition. (Primary materials are Mesh and Synthetic Overlays with some leather elements based on design details across variants).
- Water Resistance: Info needed: Mesh upper might offer less water resistance in wet conditions compared to full leather or waterproof alternatives.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
First Use Setup
Getting started with your ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers is simple:
- Unbox: Carefully remove your new trainers from their packaging.
- Lace Up: Use the full lace fastening to secure the trainers on your feet. Ensure the laces are snug but not too tight, allowing for natural foot movement.
- Adjust for Fit: Walk around to assess the fit. Your toes should have a small amount of space at the front, and your heel should feel secure without slipping.
Compatibility
These trainers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of activities and styles:
- Athletic Pursuits: Ideal for light running, gym workouts, walking, and general fitness activities.
- Everyday Wear: Their comfortable design and stylish aesthetic make them perfect for daily errands, casual outings, and lifestyle fashion.
- Surface Compatibility: The rubber outsole provides good traction on urban pavements, indoor gym floors, and light outdoor trails.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For mesh and synthetic surfaces, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from the rubber sole.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), as these can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Odour Control: If odours develop, remove insoles and air them out. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda can also be used inside the trainers.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Do not put your trainers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage their structure and materials.
