FAQs

What is GEL technology?

GEL technology is ASICS' signature cushioning system, strategically placed in the heel (and sometimes forefoot) of the shoe. It uses a silicone-based material to absorb shock and provide superior comfort during impact, reducing stress on your joints.

What is the TRUSSTIC system?

The TRUSSTIC system is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to provide enhanced stability and reduce the overall weight of the sole unit, helping to control torsion and maintain the shoe's structural integrity during movement.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the Gel-1130 series originated as a stability running shoe in 2008, this specific model has been re-imagined as a lifestyle sneaker. It offers excellent comfort and stability for everyday wear, but it is not designed for high-performance running or intense athletic training in its current form.

How do I clean the synthetic leather and mesh parts?

Gently wipe down the mesh and synthetic leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap mixed with water and lightly scrub with a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat.

What is the primary use of the ASICS Gel-1130 White Blue Fade?

The primary use of this model is as a versatile lifestyle shoe. It's perfect for casual wear, daily activities, walking, and complementing your everyday fashion with its retro-inspired athletic look and comfortable feel.

Is the sizing true to fit?

ASICS Gel-1130 models generally fit true to size for UK women's sizing. We recommend checking the ASICS size chart if you are unsure or prefer to measure your foot. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit for casual shoes.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, it is strongly advised not to put your ASICS Gel-1130 shoes in a washing machine. The harsh detergents and agitation can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technologies. Always clean them by hand as per the care instructions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. If new, allow a few wears to break them in as the materials adapt to your foot shape. Check your lacing technique; loosening the laces slightly can improve comfort without sacrificing support.

Shoes get dirty quickly, especially the white areas

White and light-colored shoes require more frequent cleaning. Create a routine to wipe them down after each wear with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated shoe cleaner or a gentle mixture of water and mild soap, applied with a soft brush, then wipe clean and air dry.

Slipping on certain surfaces

While the durable rubber outsole provides reliable traction, extreme or wet surfaces can still pose a risk. Be mindful of your footing on slick conditions. Regularly clean the outsole to prevent dirt buildup from reducing grip.

Foot odor developing

Ensure shoes are fully dry after wear before storing. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. Removable insoles can be taken out to air dry. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside can help absorb odors overnight.

These shoes require no complex setup; simply unbox, lace them up to your preferred comfort level, and they are ready for wear. They are designed for adult females and are compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure outfits. To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ASICS Gel-1130 White Blue Fade shoes, follow these care instructions:

  • Cleaning Uppers: For the mesh and synthetic leather upper, gently wipe dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or color. For the 'White Blue Fade' elements, pay extra attention to prevent color transfer or excessive scrubbing. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Outsole Care: Brush off loose dirt from the rubber outsole. If necessary, a stiff brush with a mild soap and water solution can be used to clean crevices.
  • Drying: Never machine wash or tumble dry your shoes. Always air dry them at room temperature. You can stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
