Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are designed for adult women seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for everyday wear, particularly on city streets. Their key benefit lies in the combination of a breathable mesh upper with synthetic overlays, a supportive TRUSSTIC system, and a soft foam midsole enhanced by signature GEL technology for a smooth, comfortable ride with reliable traction. A potential caveat is their specific retro-inspired design, which might not suit all modern aesthetic preferences.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are designed primarily for daily wear, stability, and comfort on city streets. For marathon running, it is recommended to use shoes specifically engineered for high-mileage endurance events, which typically offer different cushioning and support characteristics.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a molded component located in the midfoot section of the shoe. It is designed to enhance stability by controlling pronation (the inward rolling of the foot) and providing structural integrity to prevent excessive twisting.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A proper fit should allow about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The shoe should feel snug but not tight around the heel and midfoot, with no pinching or discomfort.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The shoes are made with breathable mesh, which may not be fully waterproof. While the rubber outsole offers good traction, prolonged exposure to heavy rain might lead to moisture penetration. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What is the main difference between GEL-1130 and other ASICS trainers?
The GEL-1130 specifically pays tribute to the 2008 GEL-1000 series, integrating retro design elements with modern comfort features like GEL technology in the heel and a supportive TRUSSTIC system. It's optimized for stability and daily wear rather than high-performance running.
How often should I clean my GEL-1130 trainers?
Cleaning frequency depends on usage. For daily wear, a light wipe-down or brushing off dirt after use is recommended. Deep cleaning should be done as needed when they appear visibly dirty or have absorbed odors.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks or allow for a break-in period as the shoe material may stretch slightly with wear.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL and foam cushioning may naturally compress with extended use. For significant loss of cushioning, consider replacing the shoes or using insoles.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole and inserting a thin piece of paper or powder to reduce friction.
Traction seems poor on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides grip, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure debris does not impede grip.
