FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-1130 suitable for running?

The ASICS Gel-1130 features GEL technology for cushioning, but it is primarily designed for casual wear and light training. For dedicated running, especially high-mileage or intense sessions, we recommend specialized running shoes.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot length. Compare this to the UK sizing available. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit without excessive pressure points.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Hand wash gently with mild soap and water as described in the care instructions.

What is the 'Pure Silver' colour detail?

The 'Pure Silver' refers to the accent colours used on the shoe, typically in the form of logos, trim, or subtle design elements, complementing the main white colour of the trainer.

How long does the cushioning typically last?

The longevity of the cushioning depends on usage frequency, intensity, and individual weight. For general casual wear, the GEL cushioning should provide effective shock absorption for a significant period, but regular inspection for wear is advised.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the ASICS Gel-1130 trainers are not waterproof. They are constructed with breathable mesh and synthetic materials, offering ventilation rather than protection from heavy rain or submersion in water.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If still tight, try loosening the laces. For persistent tightness, consider wearing them for short periods to allow them to break in, or explore stretching options if available.

Slight discomfort after first wear

This is often normal as the shoes adapt to your foot shape. Wear them for progressively longer periods. If discomfort persists, check the lacing and ensure the correct size has been selected.

Tread wear on the outsole

Normal wear and tear on the outsole is expected with regular use. For excessive or uneven wear, inspect for any potential gait issues or ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (casual wear/light activity).

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight to prevent undue stress.
