FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Asics Gel-1130 trainers are designed for superior cushioning and comfort for everyday wear and light training. For marathon running, a shoe specifically designed for high-mileage performance with advanced support features may be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug.
Can I wear these trainers with orthotics?
Yes, the Asics Gel-1130 trainers typically have a removable insole, allowing space for custom orthotics or insoles. Check the specific shoe to confirm the insole is removable.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the midsole is designed to absorb shock efficiently, providing excellent cushioning and reducing the impact on your feet and joints during impact.
How long should I expect these trainers to last?
With proper care and for their intended use (daily wear and light training), these trainers can last for a significant period. For running, it's generally recommended to replace athletic shoes every 300-500 miles.
Are there other color options available?
The provided information specifies a Verdigris/Pure Silver colorway. Availability of other colors may vary by retailer and season.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and consider wearing athletic socks. A short break-in period may be necessary. Check for any internal seams or debris causing friction.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after significant wear, typically after 300-500 miles of running or prolonged daily use.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, performance on extremely wet or polished surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
