Product Information

Full details

The ASICS Gel-1130 is designed for adult women seeking a stylish and comfortable everyday sneaker with a retro aesthetic. Its key benefit is the blend of athletic comfort, thanks to GEL technology and a TRUSSTIC support system, with a modern, versatile look that evolved from its 2008 running shoe origins. A potential consideration is its original design as a stability running shoe, which may offer a firmer feel for those accustomed to highly cushioned, neutral trainers.

FAQs

Is the ASICS Gel-1130 suitable for running?

While the Gel-1130 has roots as a stability running shoe, its current iteration is designed and optimized for lifestyle and everyday wear. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized performance running shoe models.

What is the TRUSSTIC system?

The TRUSSTIC Support System is a component located in the midfoot, designed to provide stability and reduce the risk of excessive twisting or torsion, contributing to a more controlled stride.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on their official website, which typically provides measurements to help you find the most accurate fit for your foot.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The shoes are not waterproof. While they offer some protection, they are best worn in dry conditions. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the materials, especially the suede overlays.

What is the main difference between the original 2008 model and the current lifestyle version?

The current lifestyle version retains the core design and technologies of the original but updates the materials and colorways for a more contemporary aesthetic and everyday comfort, moving away from its specific performance running focus.

How often should I clean my Gel-1130 sneakers?

Cleaning frequency depends on usage. Spot clean as needed for minor dirt. A more thorough clean is recommended periodically, especially if the shoes are worn daily or in dusty environments.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe requires a short break-in period. For minor tightness, wear with thin socks initially.

Squeaking sound

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers or rubbing. Try talcum powder under the insole or check if laces are too tight. Ensure the shoe is completely dry.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL technology provides long-lasting cushioning, but it can diminish with extensive wear. Ensure the shoes are not subjected to extreme conditions and follow care instructions to maintain material integrity.

Discoloration on suede

Use a specialized suede cleaner or eraser for suede-specific stains. Protect suede areas with a water and stain repellent spray designed for footwear.

Care Instructions:

  • Uppers: Gently clean mesh and suede areas with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Midsole/Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Laces: Remove laces and wash separately by hand with mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing in plastic bags or airtight containers, as this can damage materials.
