ASICS GEL-1130 - Black Pure Silver

Yes, the ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers are designed for 'ultimate running performance,' featuring GEL cushioning for shock absorption and the TRUSSTIC support system for stability. They are well-suited for various running activities, including treadmill and pavement running.

The GEL-1130 is directly inspired by the GEL-Kayano 14 model, evolving its classic style with modern materials. It incorporates the core GEL technology and TRUSSTIC support system that made the Kayano 14 renowned for its performance and stability.

Absolutely. While built for running, the superb comfort provided by the GEL technology, coupled with the supportive TRUSSTIC system and breathable design, makes the GEL-1130 Trainers an excellent choice for daily activities and casual wear.

The sustainable dyeing process used for the sockliner significantly reduces water usage and carbon emissions compared to conventional dyeing methods. This means your trainers are a more environmentally conscious choice without compromising comfort or quality.

ASICS generally runs true to size. For the best fit, it is always recommended to try them on, ideally at the end of the day when your feet are slightly larger. You can also consult the official ASICS size guide for specific measurements.

The TRUSSTIC support system is a technology integrated into the midfoot of the sole. Its purpose is to provide enhanced stability, preventing excessive twisting of the foot during movement and supporting the natural mechanics of your stride, which improves both safety and performance.

The ASICS GEL-1130 features an upper made of mesh, suede, and leather. While these materials offer some natural resistance to light moisture, the trainers are not designed to be fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water to maintain their condition.

Check your lacing technique. Ensure laces are evenly tightened and not pulled excessively. Try loosening the laces slightly, especially over the instep, to relieve pressure. Also, allow a break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot.

While the shoes have breathable mesh, ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Avoid thick cotton socks which can trap moisture. Additionally, ensure the shoe isn't laced too tightly, which can restrict airflow.

Regularly clean the specific materials. For suede, use a specialized suede brush. For leather, a damp cloth and occasional leather cleaner/conditioner will help. Promptly addressing dirt helps prevent permanent staining. Consider using a protective spray designed for mixed materials before initial wear.

The GEL technology and TRUSSTIC system are designed for durability, but prolonged heavy use can lead to wear. Check the condition of the insoles and consider replacing them if they are flattened. If the outer sole shows significant wear, it may be time to consider new footwear, as this impacts performance and support.
