FAQs

Are the ASICS GEL-1130 suitable for marathon running?

While they offer good cushioning and support for general running, they are primarily designed for everyday wear and light runs. For marathon distances, dedicated marathon shoes with more specialized features might be more appropriate.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot length. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary.

Can I wear these with orthotics?

Yes, the removable insole allows space for most standard orthotics. Ensure the orthotic fits comfortably within the shoe.

What is the main difference between GEL-1130 and other ASICS models?

The GEL-1130 specifically focuses on combining a retro 2000s aesthetic with modern GEL cushioning and Trusstic support for a balance of style and functional comfort for everyday use.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the upper is made from breathable materials and is not waterproof. They are designed for ventilation, not protection against heavy rain.

How long does the cushioning typically last?

The lifespan of the cushioning depends on usage. For regular wear and light running, the GEL cushioning should remain effective for several hundred miles of use. Look for signs of wear or reduced shock absorption.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try powdering the insole or checking if the laces are too tight.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the shoes are properly laced and that you have the correct size. Break-in periods may vary; try wearing them for shorter durations initially.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides good grip, but like all footwear, traction may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution.
