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?

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?

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.

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