FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
While inspired by running shoe technology, the GEL-1130 is best suited for light running, casual jogs, and daily activities rather than high-performance or competitive running. For serious running, ASICS offers specialized models with more advanced features tailored for intense training.
How do I choose the right size?
We recommend measuring your foot and comparing it to the ASICS size chart. If possible, try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly larger. If you're between sizes, consider going up half a size for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
The ASICS GEL-1130 is not specifically designed for heavy rain or waterproof performance. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended, as it can saturate the materials and affect comfort and durability. We advise against machine washing.
What is the TRUSSTIC Support System?
The TRUSSTIC Support System is a technology integrated into the midfoot of the shoe. Its purpose is to provide enhanced stability and reduce the weight of the sole unit, preventing the shoe from twisting excessively during movement. This contributes to a more stable and comfortable stride.
How do I clean my GEL-1130 sneakers?
For best results, spot clean your sneakers using a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes and never put them in a washing machine or dryer. Air dry them away from direct heat.
What kind of activities are these shoes best for?
The ASICS GEL-1130 is ideal for everyday casual wear, walking, commuting, light gym workouts, and general active use. Its cushioning and stability make it a comfortable choice for long periods on your feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points, or wear thinner socks. A short break-in period may also be necessary.
Squeaking sound when walking
Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe. Reinsert the insole.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
Ensure you are wearing breathable socks, preferably made from moisture-wicking materials. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Consider using shoe deodorizers.
Lack of expected cushioning
The GEL cushioning is designed for impact absorption. If you feel it's not performing as expected, ensure the shoes are clean and inspect the sole for any unusual wear. Over time, all cushioning can compress; if the shoes are very old, replacement might be necessary.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS GEL-1130 Sneakers:
- Spot Cleaning: For dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently scrub the affected areas. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Lace Care: Remove laces and wash them separately with a mild detergent, or replace them if they become worn.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. You can also use sneaker deodorizers or baking soda to help absorb odors.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not put your sneakers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesive.
