FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The GEL-1130 features a standard fit. While the lacing system allows for some adjustment, they are not specifically branded as a wide-fit model.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can compromise the GEL unit and the bonding agents. Stick to manual spot cleaning with mild soap and water.
Are these good for sports like soccer or track?
These are casual trainers. While they have athletic features, they are not designed for the specific demands of high-intensity sports like soccer or competitive track running.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is constructed with a combination of breathable mesh for ventilation and leather or synthetic reinforcements for added durability.
How should I choose the right size?
ASICS generally fit true to size. It is recommended to leave about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during activity.
Do they provide arch support?
Yes, the Trusstic midfoot stability system is specifically designed to provide structured support under the arch area during movement.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a short time
Check if the laces are tied too tightly across the top of the arch, or consider if the child's foot has grown and requires a larger size.
Visible scuffs on leather sections
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface; for persistent marks, a soft eraser can sometimes remove scuffing on white synthetic or leather materials.
Insole sliding or bunching
Remove the sockliner, ensure there is no debris inside the shoe, and reinsert it flat. If it continues to slide, consider a light adhesive or a replacement cushioned insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS GEL-1130 trainers, regular maintenance is recommended. Since these shoes feature leather and synthetic overlays, avoid machine washing, which can damage the structural integrity and adhesives. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried dirt from the mesh and sole units. For leather sections, a damp cloth with mild soap is usually sufficient. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the materials to stiffen or crack. Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug, secure fit for your child's specific foot width to maximize the effectiveness of the midfoot support.
