Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Gel-1130 has a standard fit. If your child has very wide feet, you may want to ensure the laces are loosened significantly or consider a half-size up.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the GEL cushioning system. Stick to hand-cleaning with a soft cloth.
Are these running shoes or lifestyle shoes?
They are hybrid trainers. They feature performance technology like GEL and TRUSSTIC, making them suitable for light exercise and everyday school wear.
What is the benefit of the TRUSSTIC system?
It acts as a support bridge in the midfoot to improve the shoe's torsional stability, helping to prevent the foot from twisting improperly.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are typically lightly glued for stability, but they can be removed if you need to insert specialized orthotics.
What age group is this shoe designed for?
These are designed for active kids who are typically in the primary/elementary school age range, depending on individual foot development.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the day
Loosen the laces to allow for foot swelling, which naturally occurs during periods of high activity.
Visible dirt on mesh fabric
Use a soft brush to gently lift dirt from the mesh weave. Avoid aggressive scrubbing.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a double-knot is used, or consider replacing the factory laces with elasticated 'no-tie' alternatives if independence is a concern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your ASICS Gel-1130 trainers, ensure the laces are adjusted to a snug but comfortable tension that prevents heel slippage without restricting circulation. When it comes to care, remove surface dirt using a soft-bristled brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the synthetic leather overlays and affect the integrity of the adhesive. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
