Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-1130™ sneaker, presented here in Black / Cream, is designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for urban wear. Its key benefit is the enhanced comfort provided by GEL™ technology in the heel, making it suitable for daily activities. A potential caveat is its origin as a tribute to a stability running shoe, so extreme athletic performance might be better suited to more specialized footwear. This shoe features a mesh upper, leather overlays for durability, a TRUSSTIC™ Support System for stability, GEL™ Technology Cushioning for shock absorption, and a rubber outsole for traction.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS GEL-1130™ is designed as a retro-inspired casual sneaker for everyday comfort and urban use. While it incorporates running shoe technology for cushioning, it is not intended for high-performance running. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.
How do I clean the leather overlays?
For leather overlays, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear can be used sparingly, followed by a gentle buffing.
What is the TRUSSTIC™ Support System?
The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is an ASICS technology that reinforces the midfoot area of the shoe, providing stability and preventing excessive twisting of the foot.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to put ASICS GEL-1130™ sneakers in the washing machine. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning systems. Hand-clean them using the methods described in the care instructions.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL™ Technology Cushioning?
The GEL™ Technology Cushioning in the heel is designed to absorb shock effectively during impact, providing enhanced comfort and reducing stress on your feet and joints during wear.
What is the intended use for these trainers?
These trainers are intended for casual wear, daily activities, and general comfort in urban environments. They offer a blend of style and cushioning suitable for walking and standing for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. Wear thin socks initially and allow the shoe to break in. If persistent, consider professional stretching or trying a different size.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole is designed for general traction. For very smooth or wet surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
Mesh material appears dirty quickly
Regularly wipe down the mesh with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized shoe cleaner designed for mesh materials, following product instructions.
