FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-1130 suitable for running?
The ASICS GEL-1130 is primarily designed for casual wear and comfort. While it offers cushioning, it is not engineered with the specific support and technology required for high-impact activities like running. For running, ASICS recommends dedicated running shoe models.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. Typically, you should measure the length of your foot from heel to toe and compare it to the brand's sizing guidelines. Ensure you are comparing against the UK sizing scale.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
While the rubber sole offers some grip, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to wet conditions may saturate the materials and affect comfort and longevity. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments.
What does 'Multicolor' mean for this specific model?
The 'Multicolor' designation for the ASICS GEL-1130 indicates that the shoe incorporates several different colors in its design, often combining various shades across the upper, sole, and branding for a vibrant aesthetic.
How often should I clean my ASICS GEL-1130?
Clean your shoes as needed, depending on how often you wear them and the conditions. A light wipe-down after each wear can help maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning should be done when visible dirt or stains accumulate.
What is the main difference between this and other ASICS series?
The GEL-1130 is part of ASICS' heritage/retro line, focusing on combining classic designs with modern comfort features for casual wear. Other ASICS series, like GEL-Kayano or GT-2000, are typically performance-oriented running shoes with advanced technical specifications for specific athletic needs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with medium-thickness socks for a few hours each day to allow them to gently stretch. If the issue persists, consider using a shoe stretcher or seeking professional shoe stretching services.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by moisture between layers or the insole. Try removing the insole, ensuring it's dry, and replacing it. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Discoloration on synthetic leather
Use a specialized synthetic leather cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Ensure thorough rinsing and drying.
