FAQs

Are the ASICS GEL-1130 suitable for running?

The GEL-1130 features GEL technology for cushioning and a TRUSSTIC support system, making them suitable for light jogging, walking, and everyday wear. They are not designed as high-performance running shoes for intense training.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart for accurate measurements. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or ensure you measure your foot correctly and compare it to the provided UK size.

What is the benefit of the solution dyeing method for the insole?

The solution dyeing method used for the insole reduces water consumption and carbon dioxide emissions during the manufacturing process, contributing to environmental sustainability.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed.

What does the TRUSSTIC support system do?

The TRUSSTIC support system is located in the midsole and provides stability by preventing excessive twisting of the shoe, thereby enhancing overall foot stability during movement.

How durable is the rubber sole?

The rubber sole is designed for durability and provides reliable grip for everyday wear and light athletic activities. Regular cleaning will help maintain its condition and grip.

What is the origin of the GEL-1130's design?

The GEL-1130 draws inspiration from the sporty aesthetic of ASICS' GEL-1000 series from the late 2000s, reintroducing a retro design with modern enhancements.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure. If still too tight, check if the size is correct or consider wearing thinner socks.

Slight discomfort during initial wear

This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as they break in. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly.

Poor grip on wet surfaces

The rubber sole provides good grip, but performance on extremely wet surfaces can vary. Clean the sole to ensure no debris is impeding traction.

Mesh material appears dirty

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Blot with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry.
