FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers suitable for running marathons?
While the GEL-1130 has roots in running shoe technology, it's primarily designed for comfort and stability in casual wear and city environments. For marathon running, specialized performance running shoes offering advanced features and support are recommended.
How do I clean the mesh and leather parts of the trainers?
Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution for the mesh and leather. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What does the TRUSSTIC™ Support System do?
The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is designed to enhance stability by reducing the likelihood of unwanted foot twisting and torsion, providing a more controlled stride.
Can these trainers be worn by women?
While this specific listing is for men's sizes, ASICS often offers similar GEL-1130 models in unisex or women's sizing. Please check other available variants.
What is the main difference between the GEL-1130 and older GEL-1000 models?
The GEL-1130 is an evolution of the GEL-1000 series, featuring updated materials and specific adaptations for modern urban use, including enhanced heel cushioning for lasting comfort.
How long does the GEL™ cushioning last?
ASICS GEL™ technology is designed for durability. However, cushioning effectiveness can gradually decrease with extensive use over time. Regular inspection and appropriate care can help maintain performance.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are not waterproof. They feature a mesh upper for breathability and are best suited for dry or moderately wet conditions. They are not designed for heavy rain or water immersion.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoe requires a brief break-in period. Ensure socks are of appropriate thickness.
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components. Try wearing thicker socks or allowing a short break-in period. If persistent, consult customer support.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure the shoes fit correctly and are laced appropriately. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be suitable for the specific activity or duration. Consider if insoles need replacement or if a different shoe model is required.
