FAQs

Are the Asics GEL-1130 suitable for running marathons?

The GEL-1130 is designed with heritage running aesthetics and modern comfort features suitable for casual wear and light training. For marathon running or high-impact athletic performance, Asics offers specialized running shoe lines with advanced technologies for those specific needs.

How do I determine my correct shoe size?

It is recommended to measure your foot length and consult the Asics size chart. Asics trainers often provide a snug fit, so consider trying them on if possible or referring to customer reviews regarding sizing.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoes. Hand cleaning with a soft brush and damp cloth is the preferred method.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL™ Technology Cushioning?

The GEL™ Technology Cushioning is designed to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints, thereby enhancing comfort during wear.

How does the TRUSSTIC™ System help?

The TRUSSTIC™ System is integrated into the midfoot of the shoe to provide stability and support, preventing excessive twisting and ensuring a more controlled stride.

What is the main difference between the GEL-1130 and other Asics running shoes?

The GEL-1130 draws inspiration from historical running shoe designs and focuses on a balance of retro style and everyday comfort. Other Asics running shoes may feature more advanced, specialized technologies tailored for specific performance metrics like speed, long-distance support, or trail running.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If still uncomfortable, try wearing them with different types of socks. Loosen the laces to allow for more space.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The cushioning may naturally lessen with extensive use. For light cleaning and potential rejuvenation, ensure the shoes are clean and dry. Consider replacing them if significant wear is evident.

Traction seems poor on certain surfaces

Check the outsole for any embedded debris that might be affecting grip. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. If the tread is significantly worn, it may be time to consider replacement.

Upper material appears scuffed or dirty

Gently clean the mesh and leather overlays with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe clean. Ensure thorough drying.
