Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are designed for individuals seeking a blend of heritage aesthetic and modern comfort for daily urban wear. Drawing inspiration from the 2008 GEL-KAYANO 14 design, these shoes offer reliable stability and signature heel cushioning; however, those requiring high-performance technical running features may find them better suited for casual lifestyle use rather than long-distance athletic training.

FAQs
Are the GEL-1130 trainers waterproof?
No, they are made with leather and synthetic panels that are not waterproof. We recommend applying a water-repellent spray if you anticipate light exposure to moisture.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the GEL-1130 series is designed as a unisex model to provide a comfortable fit across a wide range of users.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While based on a 2008 stability running shoe, they are currently marketed and designed for lifestyle and everyday wear. They may lack the advanced energy return found in current professional-grade running footwear.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
ASICS generally run true to size. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the larger size to ensure adequate toe room during movement.
What is the inspiration behind this model?
The GEL-1130 is inspired by the legendary GEL-KAYANO 14 and the broader design language of the 2000s GEL-1000 series.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on white leather panels
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft cloth to gently wipe the area without soaking the material.
Creasing in the toe box area
Use a shoe tree when the sneakers are not in use to help maintain the structure of the leather and reduce deep set-in creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal fit, ensure you select your standard UK size, noting that the GEL-1130 tends to follow standard ASICS sizing conventions. Since the upper consists of synthetic leather paneling, avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for the leather panels. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the material from cracking or warping.
