FAQs

Are these ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers suitable for serious running?

The ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers offer excellent cushioning and stability, making them suitable for light running, casual jogs, and everyday wear. However, they are not specifically designed for competitive or high-intensity, long-distance running, which typically requires more specialized performance features.

How should I clean my GEL-1130 Trainers?

Wipe the synthetic upper and rubber sole with a soft cloth dampened with cool water and a mild soap. Use a brush for the sole's tread. Remove and hand-wash the insoles separately. Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat.

What is ASICS GEL technology?

ASICS GEL technology is a cushioning system that uses a silicone-based material placed in critical areas of the midsole to absorb shock effectively, providing comfort and protection during impact.

What is the TRUSSTIC support system?

The TRUSSTIC system is a lightweight molded component located under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to provide enhanced stability, reduce the weight of the sole unit, and maintain the structural integrity of the trainer during movement.

Are these trainers environmentally friendly?

Yes, in part. The insoles are produced using a 'solution dyeing' method, which significantly reduces the amount of water used and carbon dioxide emissions during the manufacturing process, contributing to a more sustainable production.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber sole provides good grip, the synthetic upper and mesh inserts are not waterproof. For optimal comfort and to maintain the trainers' condition, they are best suited for dry weather conditions.

How do these trainers fit? Are they true to size?

ASICS trainers generally fit true to size. It's recommended to consult the ASICS size guide for precise measurements to ensure the best fit. A proper fit ensures optimal comfort and performance.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Check your lacing; it might be too tight. Try re-lacing them for a more relaxed fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size. Consider a brief break-in period.

Feet feel warm or sweaty during wear.

The trainers feature breathable mesh, but intense activity or hot weather can still cause warmth. Ensure laces aren't overly constrictive, allowing better air circulation. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to help manage sweat.

Sole grip seems to be diminishing.

Dirt, mud, or fine debris trapped in the sole's tread can reduce grip. Regularly clean the rubber outsole with a stiff brush and water to ensure the tread remains clear and effective. Avoid walking on oil or grease.

Foul odor from trainers.

Remove insoles and allow trainers to air out completely after each use. You can hand-wash the insoles. For persistent odors, use a shoe deodorizer spray or insert baking soda pouches when not wearing them.

Material (synthetic/leather) appears scuffed or dull.

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For synthetic leather, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for synthetic materials can restore its appearance. Protect with a suitable spray after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting started with your ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers is straightforward. Proper care will ensure their longevity and sustained performance.

Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly and tied securely but not too tightly. A snug fit should hold your foot in place without restricting circulation.
  2. Initial Fit: Wear your trainers indoors for a short period to confirm comfort and fit before extended use. Allow a brief 'break-in' period if they feel slightly stiff initially.

Compatibility

These trainers are primarily designed for:

  • Daily Casual Wear: Ideal for errands, social outings, and everyday comfort.
  • Light Running: Suitable for short to medium-distance recreational runs or treadmill workouts.
  • Walking: Excellent cushioning and stability for prolonged walking activities.
  • Light Gym Workouts: Appropriate for non-specialized gym activities and classes.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic and textile upper, gently wipe away dirt and grime using a soft cloth or sponge dampened with cool water and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole for optimal grip.
  • Insoles: The solution-dyed insoles can be removed and hand-washed separately with mild soap and water. Ensure they are thoroughly air-dried before placing them back in the shoes.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as excessive heat can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. You can use shoe trees or stuff them with paper to help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or machine dry your trainers, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
