FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-1130 suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoe design and featuring GEL cushioning, the ASICS Gel-1130 is primarily designed and recommended for lifestyle and casual wear. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized performance running shoe models.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on their official website or consult the size guide provided by the retailer. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart is the most accurate method. The product details mention this specific pair is a UK 11.

What is the main difference between the Gel-1130 and other ASICS models like the Gel-Kayano?

The Gel-1130 draws design inspiration from models like the GEL-KAYANO 14, focusing on a retro lifestyle aesthetic. Performance running shoes like the GEL-KAYANO series are typically engineered with more advanced, specific technologies for stability and cushioning tailored for running performance.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The mesh upper offers breathability but is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not ideal for heavy rain. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions to protect the materials and ensure comfort.

What does 'Black Pure Silver' refer to in the color name?

'Black Pure Silver' refers to the primary color scheme of the sneaker, indicating it features black as the dominant color with accents or panels in a pure silver hue.

How do I maintain the 'pure silver' accents?

The silver accents are typically part of the synthetic overlays or stripes. Clean them gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch or damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on, then retie them to your preferred snugness. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape. Thinner socks might also improve comfort.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction between parts of the shoe. Try to ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the sound persists, a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda under the insole might help absorb moisture and reduce friction.

Mesh material appears dirty after light use

Address stains promptly with a soft brush and a mild detergent solution. Gently dab the affected area and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or soaking the entire shoe.

Laces fraying or showing wear

Replace the laces with a new pair of suitable length and material. Clean the eyelets to ensure smooth lace movement.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the mesh and synthetic panels. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a brush and soapy water. Ensure to rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
  3. Drying: Always air dry the sneakers away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  4. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild detergent and air dry.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
