Product Information
Full details
The Asics GEL-1130 "Verdigris Pure Silver" trainers are designed for adult, unisex wearers seeking a blend of retro-running aesthetics and modern comfort. Its key benefit lies in the combination of GEL cushioning for shock absorption and the TRUSSTIC support system for stride stability, all within an eco-conscious design. A potential caveat is that the retro style might not appeal to those preferring a minimalist look. This model revives the iconic GEL-1000 series' sporty design from the late 2000s, incorporating recycled materials and an eco-friendly dyeing process for its breathable mesh and synthetic leather upper.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
No, the Asics GEL-1130 is designed for casual wear, walking, and light jogging. For marathon running, it's recommended to choose specialized long-distance running shoes that offer more advanced cushioning and support.
How do the eco-friendly materials impact performance?
The use of recycled materials and eco-friendly dyeing processes is intended to minimize environmental impact without compromising the core performance features like cushioning and stability. The materials are chosen for their durability and comfort.
What does the TRUSSTIC support system do?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a midfoot stability feature that helps control foot rotation and provides torsional rigidity, enhancing stride efficiency and preventing excessive twisting of the foot.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The harshness of the washing machine can damage the GEL cushioning, synthetic overlays, and the structural integrity of the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between the GEL-1000 and GEL-1130 series?
The GEL-1130 celebrates the ninth edition of the GEL-1000 series. While retaining the authentic, sporty design and core stability features, the GEL-1130 incorporates modern updates like enhanced eco-conscious manufacturing processes and potentially refined cushioning or materials based on current ASICS technology.
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, Asics trainers run true to size. However, individual foot shapes vary. It is always advisable to check customer reviews or try them on if possible, especially considering the retro fit might feel different.
What surfaces are these trainers best for?
These trainers are best suited for urban environments, paved paths, and indoor surfaces. The outsole provides good traction on concrete, asphalt, and standard flooring. They are not ideal for trail running or very uneven terrain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Try wearing them with thinner socks initially. If the issue persists, consider if a larger size or a different model might be more suitable, especially if you have wider feet. Laces can be adjusted to provide more room.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but its effectiveness may decrease with extensive use. For light running and daily wear, it should remain effective for a long period. Ensure you are not using them for activities exceeding their intended purpose.
Discoloration of the mesh or overlays
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Clean the shoes according to the care instructions to maintain their appearance.
Slipping during wear
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. Check that the laces are tied securely. The outsole tread provides grip on most common surfaces, but performance may vary on extremely wet or smooth surfaces.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the mesh and synthetic leather. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
