ASICS Sportstyle Gel-1130 Trainers - Black

While highly comfortable and stable, the GEL-1130s are best suited for daily training, moderate distances, and recreational running. For extensive long-distance or marathon training, you might consider ASICS models specifically designed for higher mileage.

ASICS GEL technology involves strategically placed silicone-based material in the midsole. It provides superior shock absorption, cushioning the impact of your foot striking the ground. This reduces stress on your joints and enhances overall comfort during running and walking.

The TRUSSTIC support system is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to provide enhanced stability and reduce the weight of the sole unit, preventing the shoe from twisting during movement and maintaining structural integrity.

Gently brush off loose dirt. Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and warm water for mesh areas. For suede and leather, spot clean with a slightly damp cloth or a specialized cleaner. Air dry completely away from direct heat.

Yes, in part. The sockliner of the GEL-1130 trainers is produced using a dyeing process that significantly reduces water usage and carbon emissions compared to conventional dyeing technologies, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.

The GEL-1130s are primarily designed for running and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning and stability, for multi-directional movements common in cross-training or specific gym workouts, shoes designed for those activities might offer better lateral support.

Ensure you have the correct size. Check your lacing technique to ensure a secure but not overly tight fit. Consider replacing insoles with aftermarket orthotics if you require specific arch support.

After each use, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air out completely. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.

Follow the care instructions carefully, focusing on appropriate cleaning methods for mesh, suede, and leather. For stubborn stains, specialized shoe cleaners designed for athletic footwear materials may be necessary.
