ASICS GEL-1130 - White - UK 4

The ASICS Gel-1130 trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and support for everyday activities. While they feature GEL technology for shock absorption, they are not specialized running shoes and may lack the specific features required for high-impact running.

The TRUSSTIC support system is integrated into the midsole to enhance stability. It helps to control torsion and provides a more rigid structure in the midfoot, reducing the risk of excessive foot movement during wear.

The use of recycled materials in the upper is an eco-friendly initiative. The performance and durability of the recycled components are designed to be comparable to virgin materials, offering breathability and support without compromising the shoe's integrity.

These trainers are not waterproof. While the synthetic leather offers some protection, the mesh panels are breathable and will allow moisture to enter. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and ensure comfort.

The insole can typically be removed. Hand wash it gently with cool water and a mild detergent. Allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before placing it back into the shoe. Avoid machine washing or high heat.

The 'Gel' refers to ASICS' signature GEL cushioning technology, known for its shock-absorbing properties. The '1130' is a model number within the ASICS lineup, often indicating its place in a specific series or design lineage.

While this specific listing is for women's sizing, the ASICS Gel-1130 series is often available in unisex or men's sizing as well, depending on the specific colorway and market. Check the available size options for confirmation.

Wear with thin socks initially. If still tight after a few wears, consider using thicker socks for a short period to gently stretch the material, or ensure you have the correct size. The mesh and synthetic leather will offer some give over time.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components. Try inserting a talc-free powder lightly into the shoe or under the insole. Ensure the insole is seated correctly.

Avoid excessive soaking. Clean mesh areas with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Ensure thorough rinsing with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

The GEL technology is designed for longevity, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Proper care and avoiding overuse for high-impact activities will help maintain their performance longer.
