FAQs
Are these trainers good for running?
The ASICS GEL-1130 are inspired by running shoe designs and offer good cushioning for casual wear. However, they are primarily designed for stability and comfort in urban environments and may not provide the specialized support needed for intense or long-distance running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The trainers should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box to wiggle your toes. Ensure there is no significant heel slippage when walking.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. While the rubber outsole provides traction, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to discomfort. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
What is the main difference between this and other ASICS models?
The GEL-1130 specifically revamps materials from the 2008 GEL-1000 series for a modern aesthetic, featuring classic GEL cushioning and TRUSSTIC™ support, making it a blend of heritage style and contemporary comfort.
How often should I clean my GEL-1130 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or significant wear. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth can help maintain their appearance.
Is the black and cream colorway available in other sizes?
This specific product listing is for UK size 8. Other colorways and sizes are available separately, please check product listings for ASICS GEL-1130 variants.
Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness or discomfort
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using appropriate socks.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. Be cautious when walking on very wet or slippery surfaces.
Material scuffs or marks easily
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a damp cloth for minor marks. Consider applying a protective spray suitable for leather and mesh materials.
