FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS GEL-1130 GS is designed for lifestyle wear and light training. While it offers good cushioning, it is not specifically engineered for the demands of marathon running, which typically requires more specialized running shoes.

What does 'GS' mean in the product name?

'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that these shoes are sized for children.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart provided by the retailer. It's recommended to measure your child's foot length in centimeters and compare it to the chart for the most accurate fit.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

The trainers offer some protection, but they are not waterproof. The textile and synthetic materials may absorb water. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles.

Are there other color options available for the GEL-1130 GS?

Yes, the ASICS GEL-1130 model comes in various colorways. The 'Lavender Glow' is one specific option, but other colors like White and Black may also be available for the GS model.

How is the GEL cushioning system different from regular foam?

The ASICS GEL cushioning system uses a silicone-based material strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock effectively. This provides superior impact protection and a softer feel compared to standard EVA foam.

Can the insoles be removed for orthotics?

Typically, the insoles in ASICS GS models are removable, allowing space for custom orthotics or larger insoles. However, it's best to check the specific shoe if this is a critical requirement.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and adjust them to provide more room. Ensure you are using the correct UK size; refer to the ASICS sizing chart if unsure.

Soles appear to be separating

This can sometimes occur with heavy wear. Inspect the bond between the sole and upper. For minor separation, a flexible adhesive designed for footwear might be a temporary fix. If severe, contact customer support.

Discoloration on the pink upper

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized sneaker cleaner suitable for synthetic materials.

Laces fraying

Replace the laces with a new pair. Standard trainer laces are widely available.
