FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-1130 trainers suitable for running?
The Gel-1130 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual trainer, offering comfort for everyday wear. For dedicated running, ASICS recommends specific running shoe models designed for performance and impact.
How should I clean the 'Black Cream' colorway?
Use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution for the main body of the shoe. For the sole, a soft brush can help remove dirt. Always air dry away from heat.
What does the 'Gel' in Gel-1130 refer to?
The 'GEL' refers to ASICS' proprietary GEL cushioning technology, which is strategically placed in the heel to absorb shock and provide a softer feel underfoot.
Can I wear these trainers with different sock colors?
Yes, the 'Black Cream' colorway is versatile. However, if concerned about color transfer from the shoe to socks, it's advisable to wear darker socks during the initial wear period.
What is the primary purpose of the ASICS Gel-1130?

Are there other color options available for the Gel-1130 series?
Yes, the Gel-1130 series is available in various colorways, including options that emphasize cream or black more prominently, as well as other combinations.
How does the fit typically run for ASICS trainers?
ASICS trainers generally aim for a secure fit. It's recommended to check specific sizing guides and consider trying them on if possible, as individual fit preferences can vary.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Consult the ASICS sizing chart and consider trying a half-size up or down. Different models may have slight variations.
Discomfort during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure socks are appropriate for athletic footwear.
Color transfer onto socks
This can sometimes occur with new, darker colored footwear. Wear darker socks initially or allow the shoes to air out thoroughly before prolonged wear.
Reduced cushioning over time
While designed for durability, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider the intended lifespan of the shoe for casual wear.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and dust from the upper and sole. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
