FAQs

Are the Asics GEL-1130 suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoe technology, the GEL-1130 is primarily designed for everyday comfort and casual wear. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the leather overlays?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the leather. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be applied sparingly with a soft cloth, followed by buffing.

What does the TRUSSTIC™ Support System do?

This system is located in the midfoot and provides stability by controlling the twisting of the shoe, helping to maintain its structural integrity.

What is the main benefit of the GEL™ Technology Cushioning?

The GEL™ Technology is strategically placed in the midsole to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

The rubber outsole offers some traction, but the mesh upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to slightly damp conditions.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed with a combination of breathable mesh and durable leather overlays.

What is the color combination?

The trainers feature a White base with Taro Purple accents.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have chosen the correct size. If slightly snug, wearing them with thinner socks or using shoe stretchers may help. Consider trying a half-size up if the issue persists.

Traction feels slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber outsole provides good grip, but performance can vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Blot dry with a clean cloth.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable construction with leather and mesh.
  • Stylish design with a retro running aesthetic.
  • Good traction from the rubber outsole.
  • Breathable upper for extended wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. Designed for casual wear, walking, and light activities.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the upper. For stubborn marks on the leather, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Socks: Wear appropriate socks to enhance comfort and hygiene.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
