FAQs
What is ASICS GEL technology?
ASICS GEL technology is a cushioning system that uses a silicone-based material placed in key areas of the midsole, like the heel, to absorb shock during impact and provide a softer feel and smoother transition.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a technology integrated into the midsole of ASICS shoes. It helps to maintain the structural integrity of the shoe, preventing excessive twisting and providing improved stability to the foot during movement.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the ASICS GEL-1130 features aesthetics and technologies derived from running shoes (like GEL cushioning and TRUSSTIC support), they are primarily repurposed and designed for lifestyle, casual wear, and everyday comfort, not high-performance running.
How do these trainers contribute to sustainability?
The GEL-1130 trainers feature an upper made from over 20% recycled materials. Additionally, the sockliner is dope-dyed, a process that significantly reduces water consumption by approximately 33% and carbon dioxide emissions by about 45% compared to traditional dyeing methods.
What materials are used in the upper of the GEL-1130?
The upper is constructed from a combination of synthetic leather and mesh. For some variants, suede paneling is also incorporated for a more lifestyle-oriented aesthetic.
Is the sizing standard for these ASICS trainers?
ASICS sizing is generally consistent. For this specific model, the size is UK 8. It's always recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable and accurate fit, especially if you are between sizes or new to the brand.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during wear
Ensure you have the correct shoe size (UK 8 for this model). Break-in new shoes gradually. Try different types of socks or lacing techniques to adjust the fit around your foot.
Shoes feel less stable than expected
Verify that your laces are tied securely and evenly. The TRUSSTIC support system is designed for stability, but proper lacing optimizes its effectiveness. If the issue persists, ensure the shoe size is correct.
Difficulty cleaning specific stains on the mesh or synthetic leather
For stubborn stains, consider using a specialized shoe cleaner designed for athletic footwear materials. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes develop an unpleasant odor
Remove the insoles (sockliner) and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out thoroughly after each wear. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or shoe deodorizers. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.
Outsole wear appears uneven or too quick
This can sometimes indicate an issue with gait or foot strike. While the GEL-1130 is durable for lifestyle use, excessive or unusual wear patterns might suggest a need for specialized footwear if used for more demanding activities. Rotate shoes to extend their lifespan.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your GEL-1130 Trainers. Follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning the Upper: For mesh and synthetic leather sections, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean dirt and stains. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Sole: A stiff brush or old toothbrush can effectively remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as excessive heat can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can severely damage the structure and materials.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the sockliner and allow both the shoes and sockliner to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
