FAQs
Are the Asics GEL-1130 suitable for running marathons?
The GEL-1130 is designed for trainers and everyday wear. While it offers cushioning and support, it is not specifically engineered for the demands of marathon running. For serious marathon training, Asics offers specialized running shoe models.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the Asics sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for the Asics GEL-1130. This can damage the materials, especially the leather overlays and GEL™ cushioning. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the TRUSSTIC™ Support System?
The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is a component in the midsole that provides stability by controlling torsion (twisting) in the midfoot. It helps to prevent excessive inward or outward rolling of the foot.
How often should I replace my GEL-1130 trainers?
The lifespan of trainers depends on usage frequency, intensity, and individual gait. A general guideline is to consider replacement every 300-500 miles of use, or when cushioning feels significantly diminished, support is reduced, or visible wear is present.
What is the primary difference between the GEL-1000 and GEL-1130 series?
The GEL-1130 is a modern interpretation and tribute to the GEL-1000 series. While both draw from Asics' heritage, the GEL-1130 incorporates updated design elements and potentially refined cushioning or support technologies suitable for contemporary trainers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing thinner socks or using the 'lacing techniques' for a customized fit. If still uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a different size.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The GEL™ cushioning may naturally compress with extended use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., professional running). Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.
Traction seems poor
Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris or wear. Clean the sole thoroughly. If the outsole is significantly worn, replacement might be necessary.
