Product Information

Full details

The ASICS GEL-1130 trainer in Black/Cream is designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for everyday wear. Its key benefit lies in the superior cushioning provided by GEL™ Technology, offering a smooth and comfortable experience. A potential caveat is that the mesh upper, while breathable, may require more careful maintenance than fully leather designs. This shoe is a tribute to the GEL-1000™ series, featuring a breathable mesh upper with supportive leather overlays, the TRUSSTIC™ Support System for stability, and a durable rubber outsole for traction.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The GEL-1130 is designed more as a lifestyle and everyday trainer with cushioning inspired by running shoe technology. For serious or high-mileage running, dedicated ASICS running shoes are recommended.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing guide and measure your foot. These trainers are designed for adult UK sizes. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit without excessive pressure points.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash ASICS GEL-1130 trainers. This can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning systems. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

What is the TRUSSTIC™ Support System?

The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is a molded component under the midfoot area that provides stability and reduces the risk of excessive foot twisting.

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed for durability and optimal traction for everyday wear and light activities. Its lifespan will depend on usage frequency and conditions.

What is the main benefit of the GEL™ Technology?

The GEL™ Technology is ASICS' signature cushioning system that provides excellent shock absorption, helping to protect your joints and provide comfort during movement.

Are there other colorways available?

Yes, the GEL-1130 series is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with appropriate socks. If the issue persists, break them in gradually with short periods of wear.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction but may have reduced grip on very wet or polished surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Mesh area getting dirty quickly

Apply a fabric protector spray suitable for footwear. Clean spills or dirt immediately with a damp cloth as per the care instructions.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. Ensure knots are not excessively tight to reduce strain on the lace material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel. They are not specifically designed for professional athletic competition but are suitable for walking, light gym activities, and everyday wear.

Care: To maintain the condition of your GEL-1130 trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and leather areas with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For deeper cleaning, a soft brush with a mild soap solution can be used.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
