FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-1130 suitable for serious running?
The GEL-1130 offers excellent cushioning and stability for everyday wear, light running, and general fitness. While they incorporate performance technology, they are primarily designed as a lifestyle and comfort shoe with runner aesthetics, rather than for high-performance or competitive running.
How do I clean my GEL-1130 trainers?
For general cleaning, wipe the synthetic leather and mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a brush for the rubber sole. Always air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What does GEL technology do?
GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system placed in the sole to absorb shock during impact, providing improved comfort and protection for your feet and joints during walking or light running.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a component located under the arch of the shoe that provides stability and reduces the weight of the sole unit. It helps to control torsion and prevent unwanted twisting of the foot during movement.
Is the sizing true to fit?
ASICS generally offers consistent sizing. However, shoe fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's recommended to try them on or consult a size guide. This specific variant is UK 5.5.
Are these shoes environmentally friendly?
The ASICS GEL-1130 features an insole manufactured using a solution dyeing method. This process significantly reduces water consumption and carbon dioxide emissions during production, reflecting a commitment to more sustainable practices.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust lacing to customize fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns. Ensure you've selected the correct size (UK 5.5 in this variant). Try wearing different sock thicknesses.
Foot discomfort during wear
Ensure laces are not too tight or too loose. Check if your socks are bunched up. Allow for a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's support structure aligns with your specific foot needs.
Squeaking sound when walking
Often caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of talcum powder underneath it. Also, check if the outsole is wet or has debris.
Shoes get dirty quickly or are hard to clean
Follow the care instructions: wipe regularly with a damp cloth. For tougher stains on synthetic or mesh, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid letting dirt dry and cake onto the shoes.
Laces constantly come undone
Ensure you are using a secure knot (e.g., a double knot). Consider replacing original laces with slightly textured ones if the problem persists.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care extends the life and maintains the appearance of your ASICS GEL-1130 trainers.
- Cleaning the Upper: For synthetic leather overlays and mesh, gently wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the materials. For stubborn dirt, a soft-bristled brush can be used carefully.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole. A damp cloth can then be used to wipe the sole clean.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as this can warp materials and degrade adhesives.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape if storing for extended periods.
