FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-1130 suitable for running?
The Gel-1130 is designed with GEL technology for shock absorption, making them comfortable for everyday wear and walking. While they offer some cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running and may not provide the necessary support or durability for intense training sessions.
How much recycled material is in the upper?
The main part of the upper contains over 20% recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable design.
What does the TRUSSTIC support system do?
The TRUSSTIC support system is located in the midfoot and helps to improve stability by preventing the shoe from twisting excessively, providing a more secure feel during wear.
How do I clean the dope-dyed insole?
The insole can be removed and spot cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking it. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-1130 are designed as unisex footwear, suitable for both men and women, though sizing is typically based on adult male or female foot measurements.
What is the main inspiration for the Gel-1130's design?
The design is inspired by the athletic style of the late 2000s and incorporates compositional elements from the ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 footwear.
How does the dope-dye method benefit the environment?
The dope-dye method used for the insole reduces water consumption and carbon dioxide emissions compared to conventional dyeing processes.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components. Try wearing thicker socks or applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe near the tongue.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and that laces are tied appropriately. If discomfort persists, consider using different socks or aftermarket insoles for a customized fit.
Dirt on white exterior
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the affected areas. For tougher stains, a soft brush can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
