FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-1130 suitable for long-distance running?

The Gel-1130 is designed for comfort during runs and everyday wear. While they offer good cushioning and support for shorter to moderate distances (e.g., 5k-10k), they may not be the optimal choice for marathon training compared to specialized long-distance running shoes.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing guide, which typically relates UK, EU, and US shoe sizes. Measuring your foot length can help ensure an accurate fit. The provided example is UK 9.5.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the trainers.

What is the primary benefit of the Trusstic support?

The Trusstic system provides midfoot structural integrity, enhancing stability and preventing the shoe from twisting excessively, which contributes to a more supportive feel during movement.

How does the GEL cushioning work?

The GEL technology is placed in the heel to absorb shock during the impact phase of running or walking, helping to reduce stress on the joints.

What kind of surfaces are best for these trainers?

The rubber outsole is designed for optimal grip on paved surfaces like sidewalks, roads, and indoor tracks. They are suitable for general city wear and light jogging.

Troubleshooting

Slipping or lack of grip

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For worn-out treads, consider replacement.

Discomfort during runs

Verify the lacing is adjusted correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If discomfort persists, consult the sizing guide or consider a different model.

Upper material appearing dirty

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the synthetic upper. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution sparingly.
