FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for competitive sports?
The ASICS GEL-1130 GS trainers are designed for general athletic activities and everyday wear, offering good cushioning and support. For highly specialized or competitive sports, performance-specific footwear might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I've selected the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe when the child is standing. The heel should not slip excessively, and the shoe should feel snug but not tight.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash trainers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the midsole is designed to provide excellent shock absorption, which helps to reduce impact on the feet and joints during activity.
Are there other color options available for the GEL-1130 GS series?
Yes, the GEL-1130 GS series is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for other available options, such as pink/silver or black.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for durability and superior traction, providing a long-lasting and reliable grip for various surfaces during active use.
Troubleshooting
Child complains of discomfort
Ensure the correct size has been selected, as incorrect sizing is a common cause of discomfort. Check if socks are causing friction and try a different pair. If the issue persists, the shoe's fit may not be suitable for the child's foot shape.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. Ensure the surface the child is on offers adequate traction.
Shoes appear dirty quickly
Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution. Consider using a protective spray designed for footwear, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ASICS GEL-1130 GS trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the fabric or synthetic components.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can alter their shape and materials.
- Insoles: If removable, the insoles can be taken out for separate airing or cleaning. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid cramming them into tight spaces that could deform their structure.
