FAQs

Are the ASICS GEL-1130 suitable for running?

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on their official website or consult with a retailer for precise measurements. The provided size (UK 11.5) is specific to this variant.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology in the heel is designed to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during daily activities.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed for durability and provides reliable traction on various urban surfaces, ensuring longevity for everyday use.

What does the TRUSSTIC™ Support System do?

This system provides stability in the midfoot section of the shoe, helping to control pronation and maintain torsional rigidity for a more secure feel.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The fit can vary. While the trainers offer a standard fit, it's advisable to try them on or check reviews regarding width if you have wider feet.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with appropriate socks. Break them in gradually with shorter wear periods.

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
