FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are inspired by running shoe heritage and offer good cushioning and stability for everyday wear. However, they are best suited for casual use and walking, rather than high-impact, performance-focused running.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic overlays, designed for comfort and durability.
How do I clean my GEL-1130 trainers?
Gently clean the upper with a soft brush or damp cloth. The midsole and outsole can be wiped with a damp cloth, using mild soap if necessary. Always air dry naturally and avoid direct heat.
Are these trainers unisex?
Yes, the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are designed as unisex footwear, suitable for both men and women.
What does the TRUSSTIC support system do?
The TRUSSTIC support system is located in the midsole and helps to provide stability by preventing excessive twisting of the foot and offering torsional rigidity.
How long does the GEL cushioning last?
ASICS GEL cushioning is durable, but its effectiveness can decrease with prolonged use. For optimal performance, consider replacing shoes after significant wear, typically after 300-500 miles of running or when the cushioning feels significantly reduced.
What is the main inspiration for the GEL-1130 design?
The design pulls inspiration from the late 2000s, specifically paying tribute to the ninth version of the GEL-1000 series, offering a retro aesthetic revamped for modern city streets.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing them with thin socks initially or using a shoe stretcher might help. The materials may also relax slightly with wear.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL and foam cushioning are designed for longevity, but will naturally compress with extensive use. For optimal comfort, consider replacement after significant wear, typically after 500-700 miles of use or when cushioning feels noticeably diminished.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but like all footwear, performance may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the textile and synthetic upper, use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh scrubbing which could damage the materials.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean the foam midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
