FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running or athletic sports?
While the ASICS GEL-1130 draws inspiration from a 2008 running stability shoe, it has been redesigned for city streets and casual wear. It offers excellent comfort and stability for everyday activities but is not intended for high-performance athletic training or competitive sports.
How do I clean the mesh and suede parts of the shoe?
For mesh, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap, then air dry. For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, specialized suede cleaners are recommended. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat.
What is ASICS GEL technology and what does it do?
GEL technology is a cushioning system strategically placed in the heel of the shoe. Its purpose is to absorb shock effectively during impact, providing superior comfort and contributing to a smoother, more cushioned stride.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a component located in the midfoot area of the shoe. It enhances stability by preventing excessive twisting of the shoe during movement, providing a more secure and supported feel for the wearer.
Is this shoe true to size?
ASICS shoes generally run true to size. However, foot shapes vary, so it is always recommended to consult the ASICS size chart or, if possible, try the shoes on to ensure the best and most comfortable fit for your child.
What age group is this specific variant of the GEL-1130 designed for?
This particular variant of the ASICS GEL-1130 is designed for kids, specified as a UK size 4.
How does this shoe contribute to sustainability?
The insole of the ASICS GEL-1130 is dyed using a solution dyeing process. This innovative method significantly reduces overall water use by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to traditional dyeing techniques.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during wear.
Ensure the shoe is the correct size, allowing for a thumb's width space at the toe. Wear appropriate socks. Allow for a short break-in period, as materials adapt to the foot's shape.
Suede areas look dull, dirty, or stained.
Use a specialized dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear, following the product's instructions. Avoid using water directly on suede for deep cleaning.
Shoes feel less stable than expected.
Check that shoelaces are tied securely and evenly. Ensure the shoe fits snugly but comfortably around the midfoot. Inspect the sole for excessive or uneven wear, which could affect stability over time and indicate the need for replacement.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS GEL-1130 shoes.
- General Cleaning (Mesh): For mesh areas, gently wipe with a damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap. Avoid saturating the material.
- Suede Cleaning: For suede overlays, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and scuffs. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner designed for footwear can be applied according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the shoe's structure, materials, and cushioning.
- Odor Control: If odors occur, remove insoles (if removable) to air out. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.
