FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for serious long-distance running?

While the GEL-1130 Trainers incorporate running heritage and GEL cushioning, they are primarily designed as an everyday lifestyle shoe and for light athletic activities. For serious or long-distance running, we recommend a specialized running shoe designed for high-impact performance.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

To clean the mesh upper, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap diluted in water). Gently scrub the dirty areas and then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth. Allow them to air dry completely.

What is ASICS GEL technology?

ASICS GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning material strategically placed in the shoe's midsole, typically in the heel and/or forefoot. It's designed to absorb shock during impact and provide a softer landing, enhancing overall comfort and reducing fatigue.

What does the TRUSSTIC Support System do?

The TRUSSTIC Support System is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to enhance stability, prevent excessive twisting of the foot during movement, and maintain the structural integrity of the shoe, particularly during dynamic activities.

Are these trainers true to size?

ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers are generally considered true to size for women's UK footwear. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The mesh upper provides breathability but offers limited water resistance. For light drizzle, they may be fine, but for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, your feet are likely to get wet. These trainers are not waterproof.

What is the warranty for these trainers?

Info needed: [Please refer to the retailer's or ASICS' official website for specific warranty information and policies, as these can vary by region and purchase location.]

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing. For tightness, try skipping an eyelet or loosening the laces. For looseness, ensure laces are snug from toe to ankle and tied securely.

Foot odor develops

Remove insoles regularly to air them out. Use shoe deodorizers, or place a small amount of baking soda in the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and odor. Ensure shoes are completely dry before wearing.

Squeaking sound when walking

Check if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or sprinkling a small amount of baby powder underneath it. If the squeak persists, it might be due to moisture inside the sole, ensure shoes are completely dry.

Laces frequently come undone

Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. You can also consider replacing the laces with a material that offers more grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Your ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply follow these steps for an optimal fit:

  1. Loosen Laces: Fully loosen the laces on both trainers.
  2. Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the trainer, ensuring your heel sits comfortably at the back.
  3. Adjust Laces: Starting from the toe box, gradually tighten the laces, working your way up to the ankle. Ensure a snug fit that doesn't pinch or feel too tight.
  4. Tie Securely: Tie the laces in a secure knot, double-knotting if desired for extra security, especially before active use.
  5. Walk Test: Take a few steps to ensure comfort and assess the fit. Your toes should have a small amount of space at the front, and your heel should feel secure without slipping.

Compatibility

  • Gender & Age: Designed for adult females, these trainers come in UK size 5.5.
  • Wardrobe: Their versatile beige and grey colorway, combined with a retro aesthetic, makes them compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic apparel.
  • Activity: Best suited for everyday wear, walking, light gym workouts, and casual jogging.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your GEL-1130 Trainers, follow these care guidelines:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently scrub any dirt or stains from the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Cleaning the Sole: A damp cloth or sponge can be used to wipe down the rubber outsole. For stubborn dirt, a stiff brush can be helpful.
  • Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as excessive heat can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight to absorb odors.
  • Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper or shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
