FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS GEL-1130 Youth Trainers provide excellent comfort and support with GEL cushioning for everyday wear and light activities. While they can be used for casual running, they are primarily designed for general comfort and style rather than specialized athletic training.
How do I clean my GEL-1130 trainers?
To clean your trainers, gently wipe them with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid soaking them or using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
What does the TRUSSTIC system do?
The TRUSSTIC system technology in the midsole is designed to improve stability and reduce the weight of the sole unit while retaining the shoe's structural integrity, providing better support during movement.
Are these trainers true to size?
ASICS trainers generally run true to size. This specific pair is a UK Youth Size 3. If you are unsure, it's always best to refer to a size guide and measure the foot to ensure the best fit.
Can adults wear these trainers?
These GEL-1130 trainers are specifically sized for juniors/kids (UK Youth Size 3). Adults would need to look for the adult version of the ASICS GEL-1130 series, which comes in larger sizes to ensure proper fit and comfort.
What materials are the trainers made from?
The upper features a combination of light and breathable mesh with durable synthetic overlays. The sole unit includes a soft foam midsole, GEL technology in the heel for cushioning, and a grippy rubber outsole for traction.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
Yes, the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers incorporate the TRUSSTIC system in the midfoot, which contributes to structural integrity and support, including arch stability, making them comfortable for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the lace fastening to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across your foot, not just at the top. For a wider foot, you might need to loosen the laces slightly; for a narrower foot, tighten them more carefully.
Feet feel hot or sweaty after wearing for a while.
The breathable mesh upper is designed to promote airflow. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks, preferably moisture-wicking materials, which can help keep feet drier. Allow trainers to air out completely between wears.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped inside the shoe or between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole and allowing both the insole and the shoe interior to air dry thoroughly. If the issue persists, inspect for any loose components.
Lack of expected cushioning or support over time.
While durable, the GEL cushioning and foam midsole can compress over extensive use. If performance noticeably degrades, it might indicate the trainers are reaching the end of their functional lifespan for optimal comfort and support. Ensure regular cleaning to prevent material degradation.

Proper setup, understanding compatibility, and consistent care will ensure your ASICS GEL-1130 Youth Trainers provide lasting comfort and performance.
Setup
- Lacing: Unlace the trainers fully before putting them on. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe.
- Adjusting Fit: Begin tightening the laces from the toes upwards, ensuring an even tension across the foot. The lace fastening should be snug but not restrictive. You should be able to wiggle your toes slightly.

- Gender: The design is unisex, suitable for all young wearers.
- Size: This guide is for UK Youth Size 3. Ensure this matches the wearer's foot size for optimal comfort and support.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh upper and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the materials. For the grippy rubber outsole, a soft brush can help remove dirt and debris.
- Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can warp materials or degrade adhesives.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Keeping them in a shoe bag can help protect them from dust.
- Maintenance: Regularly check laces for wear and tear. If they become frayed, replace them to maintain a secure fit. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can severely damage the shoe's structure and materials, including the GEL cushioning.
