FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious running?

The ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers are designed as a versatile trainer with a focus on comfort and stability for everyday wear, walking, and light activities. While they offer excellent cushioning and support, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance, long-distance, or competitive running. For serious running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe lines.

How do I clean my ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers?

Gently brush off loose dirt. Use a mild soap solution with a damp cloth for synthetic leather and a soft brush for mesh areas. Wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and air dry completely away from heat. The insoles can be hand-washed and air-dried separately. Avoid machine washing.

What is GEL technology?

ASICS' GEL technology is a cushioning system that uses silicone-based gel strategically placed in the midsole, particularly in the heel, to absorb shock and provide excellent comfort during impact. This helps to protect your feet and provide a smoother transition during your stride.

What is the TRUSSTIC support system?

The TRUSSTIC support system is a technology found in the midfoot area of the sole. It's designed to reduce the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe, preventing torsion and enhancing foot stability, particularly during movement.

Are the insoles environmentally friendly?

Yes, the insoles in the ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers are produced using a water-saving, low-CO2 solution dyeing method, which aligns with sustainable development principles and reduces environmental impact.

What materials are the trainers made from?

The trainers feature breathable mesh inserts for ventilation, synthetic leather overlays for durability and style, and a rubber outsole. The insole is made using a sustainable dyeing process. The primary attribute for the upper is 'Leather' but the description clarifies it as 'synthetic leather'.

How do these trainers fit? Are they true to size?

Info needed: General fit advice can vary. We recommend referring to ASICS' official sizing guide if available, or trying them on to ensure the best fit. Most customers find ASICS trainers to be generally true to size, but individual foot shapes can influence fit.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose.

Check your lacing. Adjust the tightness to provide a snug yet comfortable fit. If issues persist, ensure you have the correct size; shoe sizes can vary slightly between brands.

Foot odor develops.

Remove insoles after each wear to allow shoes to air out. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda in socks inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Stains on the white synthetic leather or mesh.

For fresh stains, gently dab with a clean, damp cloth immediately. For dried stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush as per the cleaning instructions under 'Care Instructions'.

Reduced cushioning comfort over time.

While GEL technology is durable, heavy and prolonged use can compress materials. Ensure you are following care instructions. If comfort significantly decreases, consider replacing the insoles with fresh ones for renewed cushioning.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Often, this is due to friction between the insole and the shoe's footbed. Remove the insole and sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or baking soda inside the shoe, then replace the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be an outsole issue, which usually requires professional assessment.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers.

  1. Cleaning the Upper (Synthetic Leather & Mesh):
  • Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush.
  • Mix a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) with warm water.
  • Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the soapy water and gently wipe down the synthetic leather overlays.
  • For mesh areas, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) dipped in soapy water to lightly scrub, being careful not to saturate the fabric.
  • Wipe away any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  1. Cleaning the Soles: Use a brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime from the outsoles and midsoles.
  1. Insole Care: The insole is produced using a sustainable method. To clean, remove the insoles and hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before returning them to the shoes.
  1. Odor Control: Remove insoles after use to allow the shoes to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside the shoes overnight.
  1. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
