FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers suitable for running marathons?
The GEL-1130 is designed primarily for casual wear and light training. For marathon running, ASICS offers specialized running shoes with advanced cushioning and support systems tailored for high-mileage endurance.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot length. Consider that these trainers may have a slightly narrower fit than some modern athletic shoes. Trying them on indoors is recommended.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, structure, and cushioning technology of the shoes. Always follow the hand-cleaning instructions provided.
What is the primary benefit of the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system provides midfoot structural integrity, enhancing stability and preventing excessive torsional flexing of the foot during movement.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for durability and provides reliable traction for everyday wear and light activities. Its longevity will depend on the frequency and intensity of use.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic overlays, providing both ventilation and structural support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or narrow
Try wearing them with thinner socks initially. If the issue persists after a few wears, consider stretching them using appropriate shoe stretching devices or consult a professional shoe repair service. Note that some models may inherently have a narrower fit.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but its effectiveness can diminish with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after prolonged wear, typically after 300-500 miles of use.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance on extremely wet or smooth surfaces may be limited. Exercise caution when walking on wet or slippery conditions.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause materials to fade. Clean the shoes according to the care instructions using mild cleaning agents.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the mesh and synthetic parts of the upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the materials.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can alter the shape and material integrity.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
