FAQs
What is the main benefit of the GEL™ Technology in these trainers?
The GEL™ Technology, particularly in the heel, is designed to absorb shock effectively, providing a softer landing and reducing impact stress on your feet and joints during wear.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The GEL-1130 is designed primarily for lifestyle, comfort, and light training. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with more advanced support and cushioning features are recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or discomfort.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap.
What does the TRUSSTIC™ Support System do?
The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is a midfoot structural component that provides stability, helps control torsion (twisting), and reduces the risk of injury by maintaining the shoe's integrity.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
While specific width options are not detailed, the mesh upper offers some flexibility. If you have significantly wide feet, it's advisable to check user reviews or try them on to assess the fit.
What is the material composition of the upper?
The upper is constructed with a combination of breathable mesh and durable leather overlays.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Consult the Asics sizing chart and measure your foot to ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider trying them on in-store if possible.
Reduced cushioning over time
While GEL™ Technology is durable, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. For optimal comfort, consider replacing trainers after significant wear.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean stains promptly with a mild soap and damp cloth as per care instructions.
Traction seems low on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. The grip is optimized for standard surfaces; use caution on wet or slippery conditions.
