FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers are inspired by running shoe technology, particularly the GEL™ cushioning and TRUSSTIC™ support system. However, they are primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual wear, walking, and light activities rather than intense athletic running. For serious runners, we recommend dedicated performance running shoes.
How do I find the right size?
This specific model is a UK size 4. We recommend trying on shoes to ensure the best fit. If purchasing online, consult a size guide and measure your foot. ASICS generally fits true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash your ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for proper cleaning methods.
What is the GEL™ technology?
GEL™ technology is a proprietary cushioning system developed by ASICS. In these trainers, it's strategically placed in the heel to provide superior shock absorption during impact, contributing to lasting comfort and a smoother stride.
What is the TRUSSTIC™ support system?
The TRUSSTIC™ support system is a component located under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to reduce the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe, preventing excessive torsion and enhancing stability during movement.
Are these trainers durable?
Yes, the ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers are built with durable materials, including a robust rubber outsole and synthetic leather inserts, which enhance their longevity for everyday wear. With proper care, they are designed to provide lasting performance.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. Try re-lacing them to allow for a more natural fit. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size, as shoe fit can vary.
The mesh upper appears dirty or stained.
Use a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush) with a small amount of mild soap and water to gently clean the mesh. Blot with a clean, damp cloth afterwards and allow to air dry completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture or air trapped between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and allowing them to dry thoroughly before reinserting. A small amount of talcum powder beneath the insole can also help.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: For the synthetic leather sections, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently wipe away dirt. For the mesh areas, a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soapy water can be used to scrub lightly. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they can damage materials.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers naturally. Do not place them in direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You may use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and allow both the insoles and the shoes to air out. Odor-absorbing inserts can also be used.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge your trainers in water, as this can degrade the adhesives and materials.
