Full details

Its key benefit is the combination of modern aesthetics with the reliable GEL technology for lasting heel comfort. A potential consideration is that while it draws inspiration from a 2008 stability running shoe, it's now positioned more for casual wear.

FAQs

Is the ASICS GEL-1130 a running shoe?

The GEL-1130 is inspired by a 2008 stability running shoe but has been redesigned for modern urban wear and casual comfort, rather than high-performance running.

What does 'GEL technology' mean for comfort?

GEL technology in the heel provides excellent shock absorption, cushioning your foot and reducing impact during walking and daily activities.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The standard fit is designed for unisex adult wear. While not specifically wide-fit, the materials may offer some flexibility. It's best to consult sizing charts and reviews for more specific fit information.

How do I clean the synthetic leather parts?

Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution and a soft brush for any stains. Wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and allow to air dry.

What is the main difference between the GEL-1130 and modern ASICS running shoes?

The GEL-1130 focuses on retro style and casual comfort, while modern ASICS running shoes are engineered with advanced technologies for specific athletic performance and support.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their quality.

What year was the original GEL-1000 series released?

The GEL-1130 pays tribute to the ninth version of the GEL-1000 series, which originated in 2008.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still tight, try wearing thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher for mild pressure points.

Slight squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days; the noise often dissipates. If persistent, check for foreign objects in the sole or laces.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to dry completely before re-lacing the shoes.
