For mesh and leather, use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean. For suede, use a specialized suede brush or a very lightly damp cloth for cleaning, avoiding saturation. Always air dry away from direct heat.
The TRUSSTIC support system is a proprietary ASICS technology located in the midfoot. It helps reduce the weight of the sole unit while providing enhanced structural integrity and stability, especially during your stride.
ASICS typically adheres to standard UK sizing. We recommend referencing ASICS's official size guide if available for this specific model, and trying them on to ensure the best personal fit, especially if you are between sizes.
This refers to the manufacturing method for certain components that significantly reduces the amount of water required during the dyeing process compared to conventional methods. It's an effort towards more sustainable production.
Absolutely. Their sportstyle design, combined with modern comfort features, makes them highly versatile and an excellent choice for daily walking, casual outings, and complementing a contemporary, active lifestyle.
Adjust the lace-up fastening to achieve a personalized, secure fit. Consider trying different lacing techniques if discomfort persists, such as skipping eyelets to relieve pressure or using a runner's knot for a tighter heel lock.
Ensure the trainers are appropriate for the intensity and duration of your activity. While excellent for light running and daily wear, for highly specialized or long-duration athletic endeavors, consider if a different shoe type might be more suitable. Also, check sock fit and ensure you're not over-lacing.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe's interior. Remove insoles and allow both the shoe interior and insole to air dry completely. Ensure laces are securely tied, as loose laces can also cause friction sounds.
Gently brush dry dirt off with a soft suede brush. For more stubborn marks, use a damp cloth (water only) or a specific suede cleaner, blotting the area rather than rubbing vigorously. Allow to air dry naturally.
Getting the most out of your ASICS Sportstyle GEL-1130 Trainers involves proper fit, understanding their best use cases, and maintaining them correctly.
