ASICS GEL-1130 Trainer - Cream - Size 3

GEL™ technology is a silicone-based cushioning system placed in the heel of the trainer. It's designed to absorb shock during impact, providing lasting comfort and a smoother ride, especially beneficial for everyday walking and standing.

The TRUSSTIC support system is a component located in the midfoot area of the sole. Its purpose is to enhance stability by preventing excessive twisting of the shoe, maintaining the shoe's structure, and supporting the foot's arch during movement.

While the GEL-1130 Trainers are inspired by ASICS' running heritage, they are designed primarily as a lifestyle shoe. They offer comfort and stability for casual wear and walking but are not optimized for high-performance or competitive running.

For mesh areas, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner, avoiding excess water. Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat.

A dope-dyed sockliner refers to a manufacturing process where dye is added to the raw material solution before it's spun into fibers, rather than dyeing the fabric after it's made. This process significantly reduces water usage (approx. 33%) and carbon emissions (approx. 45%), making it a more environmentally friendly choice.

ASICS sizing is generally consistent, but fit can vary slightly between models and individuals. It's often recommended to refer to ASICS' official size guide or try them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you are between sizes.

Ensure laces are properly adjusted – not too tight, not too loose. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or width, as fit can vary slightly between models and individuals. A short break-in period may also be necessary.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the dirt away and lift the nap of the suede. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser or cleaner designed for suede can be used, following the product's instructions carefully.

Ensure trainers are fully aired out after each use. Remove the insoles periodically to allow them to dry separately. Odor-absorbing inserts or sprays designed for footwear can also be used. The dope-dyed sockliner is designed to be more hygienic, but good airflow is still key.

Inspect the outsole for wear and tear; a worn outsole can reduce traction. Ensure the trainers are clean and free of mud or debris that might reduce grip. Be mindful of walking on wet or highly polished surfaces.
