ASICS GEL-1130 - White - Size UK 8

The Gel-1130 trainers offer excellent GEL technology cushioning and the TRUSSTIC support system, making them comfortable and stable for daily runs, moderate distances, and consistent training on paved surfaces and treadmills. For highly specialized long-distance marathon training, some runners might prefer models designed with even more advanced cushioning or specific support for high mileage.

For the mesh, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and water. For suede and leather overlays, gently wipe with a damp cloth; a specialized suede brush or leather cleaner can be used for deeper cleaning. Always air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or dry.

The TRUSSTIC support system is a technology in the midfoot of the shoe that helps stabilize the foot during movement. It reduces the shoe's weight while providing structural integrity, preventing excessive twisting and promoting a smoother transition from impact to toe-off.

Yes, their stability and cushioning make them suitable for general gym workouts, cardio sessions, and light training. However, for exercises requiring extensive lateral movements or heavy weightlifting, shoes specifically designed for those activities might offer better specialized support.

ASICS generally runs true to size for many users. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's always recommended to consult the ASICS size chart and, if possible, try them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the secure lace-up fastening allows for personalized adjustment.

GEL technology is ASICS's signature cushioning system. In the Gel-1130, it is strategically placed to absorb shock during impact, providing superior comfort and reducing the load on your joints as you run or walk. This contributes significantly to the shoe's overall comfort and performance.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Adjust the lacing to relieve pressure points, try loosening or tightening specific sections. Consider wearing appropriate running socks.

Check if the laces are securely tied to provide adequate foot lockdown. Over time, wear and tear on the outsole can reduce stability; inspect the tread for signs of significant wear. If the shoes are old, their cushioning and support might have degraded, indicating it's time for replacement.

For mesh, gently clean with a soft brush and mild soap solution. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt, and a suede eraser for marks. Avoid excessive water or harsh cleaning agents on suede to prevent damage.

Remove insoles after use to allow the shoes to air out completely. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and insoles overnight, then shake it out in the morning. Use shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odor.
