FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS GEL-1130 is inspired by stability running shoes from the GEL-1000 series and features GEL technology for cushioning and a TRUSSTIC system for support. While suitable for light runs and training, they are particularly excellent for everyday wear, walking, and general athletic activities, providing comfort and stability.
How do I choose the correct size?
We recommend measuring your foot length and referring to the ASICS size chart. If you are between sizes, it's often best to size up slightly. Ensure there's a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
What kind of activities are these shoes best for?
These shoes are ideal for everyday casual wear, walking, light training, gym workouts, and general athletic activities where comfort, support, and a stylish aesthetic are desired. They offer good shock absorption and stability for varied daily use.
Can I machine wash my ASICS GEL-1130 shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and structural integrity of the shoes. Please follow the care instructions provided in this guide, which recommend hand cleaning with a mild soap and water solution.
What is GEL Technology and TRUSSTIC Support System?
GEL Technology is ASICS' signature cushioning system, typically placed in the heel, designed to absorb impact and provide superior comfort. The TRUSSTIC Support System is a component in the midfoot that reduces the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe, enhancing stability during movement.
Are these shoes breathable?
Yes, the ASICS GEL-1130 features mesh underlays in the upper construction, which provide excellent ventilation and breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable during wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Check your lacing. Loosen the laces, especially around the forefoot, and re-tie them to allow more room. Consider wearing thinner socks or ensuring you have the correct size for your foot length and width.
My feet get too warm or sweaty.
The shoe features mesh underlays for ventilation. Ensure you're wearing breathable athletic socks. If the issue persists, allow the shoes to air out thoroughly between uses and consider using foot powder if needed.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning both the insole and the inside of the shoe, and then reinserting it. If the issue continues, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help.
Sole appears to be losing grip.
Regularly inspect the outsole for embedded debris (like small stones) and clean it. Ensure the treads are free of excessive dirt or mud, which can reduce traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Initial Setup 1. Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Begin lacing from the toe and adjust tension evenly as you move towards the ankle for a snug yet comfortable fit. 2. First Wear: Wear for short periods initially to allow the shoe to conform to your foot's shape. This also helps you determine optimal lacing tightness. ### Compatibility The ASICS GEL-1130 is compatible with a wide range of athletic and casual apparel. It pairs well with sports socks for active use and can be styled with jeans, shorts, or tracksuits for a relaxed, everyday look. Its design is suitable for various foot types, offering balanced support. ### Care and Maintenance 1. Cleaning the Upper: For mesh and synthetic leather, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage materials. 2. Sole Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris from the rubber sole. 3. Drying: Air dry shoes naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to warp or crack. 4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong material life. Avoid storing in cramped spaces to maintain shape.
