FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The GEL-1130 trainers are designed with a lifestyle aesthetic, incorporating elements of retro running shoe design for comfort. While they offer good cushioning and stability for everyday wear, they are not optimized for the demands of marathon running. For competitive long-distance running, Asics offers specialized performance running shoe models.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth can be used cautiously. Always allow suede to air dry completely and avoid direct heat.

What does the TRUSSTIC™ support system do?

The TRUSSTIC™ support system is a molded component located under the midfoot. It helps to control pronation by providing stability and reducing the likelihood of the foot twisting excessively during the gait cycle.

Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?

The Asics GEL-1130 trainers are listed as suitable for men and unisex, depending on the specific size and colorway. Always check the product description for the intended gender or if it's a unisex model.

How does the GEL™ technology in the heel benefit the wearer?

The GEL™ technology in the heel is a silicone-based cushioning system designed to absorb shock effectively upon impact. This provides enhanced comfort and helps to reduce stress on the foot and joints during walking and standing.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper of these trainers is primarily constructed with breathable mesh, complemented by suede paneling for a retro aesthetic and added structure.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The Asics GEL-1130 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable mesh and suede, which are not inherently water-resistant materials. They are suitable for dry to mildly damp conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher if the material allows. Ensure correct sizing was selected initially.

Suede material looks dirty

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult specific suede cleaning guides.

Reduced cushioning over time

While GEL™ technology is durable, cushioning can decrease with extensive use. Consider rotating with other footwear for longevity.

Traction feels less effective on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides optimal traction, but performance on extremely wet surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear footwear. Ensure you have selected the correct size before use.

Compatibility: Suitable for general adult use across various casual settings.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the suede and mesh. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Suede Care: For suede sections, a dedicated suede brush can help maintain its texture. Protectants can be applied to repel water and stains.
  3. Lining and Insole: If removable, clean insoles separately. The interior lining can be spot-cleaned with a mild detergent and water.
  4. Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  5. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
