Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-1130 in Black Pure Silver is designed for adults seeking a blend of retro aesthetics and modern comfort in a lifestyle running sneaker. Its key benefit lies in its distinctive chunky silhouette and fusion of vintage-inspired style with advanced cushioning technology. A potential caveat for some users might be its specific fit, which, like many athletic shoes, may require trying on for optimal comfort. This sneaker features a mesh upper for breathability, GEL cushioning for shock absorption, and TRUSSTIC support for stability, all wrapped in a design that pays homage to early 2000s running shoe styles.

Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting them on. Try wearing thinner socks. If the tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoe needs a short break-in period.
Discomfort after extended wear
Verify the laces are tied correctly, providing a balance of support and comfort. Ensure the sock used is appropriate for the shoe's fit. For persistent discomfort, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot type or needs.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a small amount of mild soap diluted in water can be carefully applied and wiped away with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry.
