FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-1130 suitable for running?
The GEL-1130 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and offer good cushioning for everyday activities. While they provide stability, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running and may lack the advanced features found in dedicated running shoes.
How do I determine the correct size?
It's recommended to consult the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot. Many users find that these trainers can run a bit narrow or small, so trying them on if possible or considering ordering a half-size up is advisable.
What is the main benefit of the GEL™ technology?
The GEL™ technology in the heel is designed to provide excellent shock absorption, cushioning your feet and reducing impact during walking or standing for long periods. This enhances overall comfort throughout the day.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials offer some resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain comfort. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they do get damp.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is an internal shank that provides midfoot integrity and enhances stability. It helps to prevent excessive twisting and supports a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off.
How often should I clean my GEL-1130 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, typically when they appear visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth can help maintain their appearance. Avoid machine washing or heavy immersion in water.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the ASICS GEL-1130 series comes in various colorways. You can explore different options that may include variations in primary and secondary colors, as well as material finishes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider trying a half-size up if you have wider feet or prefer more room. Wearing them for short periods initially can help break them in.
Squeaking sound from the sole
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Try drying the shoes thoroughly. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help absorb moisture and reduce noise.
Dirt and scuff marks are difficult to remove
Use a specialized shoe cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and water with a soft brush. For stubborn marks on synthetic leather, a magic eraser can be used gently, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a similar type and length. Consider wax-coated laces for better durability and a more secure knot.
