Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-1130 Sneaker is designed for individuals who appreciate a blend of retro running aesthetics from the late 2000s and modern comfort technologies. Its key win lies in combining excellent shock absorption from GEL technology with enhanced foot stability provided by the TRUSSTIC support system, all while making a stylish statement for city streets. A key feature is its commitment to sustainability, utilizing over 20% recycled materials in the upper and a dope-dye process for the insole, though it's primarily a lifestyle shoe rather than a high-performance runner.

FAQs
What is GEL technology in these sneakers?
GEL technology is a silicone-based material strategically placed in the sole (specifically the heel in this model) to provide superior shock absorption during impact, enhancing overall comfort and reducing strain on your joints.
What does the TRUSSTIC support system do?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe that provides enhanced stability and reduces the weight of the sole unit while retaining the shoe's structural integrity. This helps prevent twisting during movement and supports the midfoot.
Are these shoes suitable for serious running or sports?
While inspired by runner aesthetics and featuring running technologies like GEL and TRUSSTIC, the GEL-1130 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker. It provides excellent comfort for daily wear and urban exploration but is not optimized for high-performance or competitive running.
How should I clean my ASICS GEL-1130 sneakers?
Gently brush off loose dirt. For stains, use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) and warm water to dab and wipe the mesh and synthetic leather areas. Clean the rubber sole with a brush. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What are the environmental benefits of these sneakers?
The upper is made with over 20% recycled materials, reducing waste. Additionally, the insole is dyed using the dope-dye process, which significantly reduces water consumption and carbon dioxide emissions compared to conventional dyeing methods.
What materials are used in the ASICS GEL-1130?
The upper features a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic leather overlays. The lining is textile, and the sole is made of durable rubber. The insole is also textile and dope-dyed.
What does 'low profile' mean for these shoes?
A 'low profile' design refers to the overall sleek and relatively flat silhouette of the shoe, typically meaning the sole is not excessively thick or chunky, giving it a more streamlined look.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure proper lacing; try different lacing patterns for a more customized fit. If persistent, verify your correct UK shoe size, considering foot swelling throughout the day.
Squeaking sound when walking.
New shoes can sometimes squeak as materials break in. If it persists, it might be due to moisture between the insole and the sole; try removing and drying the insole.
Stains or dirt on the mesh/synthetic upper.
Clean promptly with a soft brush, mild soap (like diluted dish soap), and a damp cloth. Gently dab and wipe, avoiding harsh scrubbing. Always air dry.
Unpleasant odor develops.
Allow shoes to air out regularly after wear. Consider using odor-absorbing shoe inserts or a shoe deodorizer spray. Ensure socks are worn and changed frequently.
Sole appears to be wearing down quickly.
Sole wear is normal over time, especially with frequent use. Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose (lifestyle/casual wear) rather than high-impact sports, which can accelerate wear.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your GEL-1130 sneakers:

- Soles: Clean rubber outsoles and midsoles with a brush or cloth and mild soap to remove grime.
