ASICS GEL-1130 - Black - Size UK 5.5

The GEL-1130 is designed with a 'noughties runner' aesthetic but is primarily intended for casual, everyday wear and streetwear. While comfortable for walking, it is not engineered for high-performance athletic running.

Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap for general cleaning. For mesh, gently scrub with a soft brush and wipe clean. For synthetic/leather overlays, wipe with a damp cloth or use a specialized cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat.

ASICS GEL technology refers to silicone-based cushioning units strategically placed in the sole, typically in the heel, to absorb shock during impact and provide enhanced comfort.

Generally, the ASICS GEL-1130 fits true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly. It's recommended to refer to ASICS' official sizing chart if you are unsure or between sizes.

The GEL-1130 features mesh uppers, which offer breathability but are not waterproof. While suitable for light drizzle, they are not recommended for heavy rain or wet conditions, as your feet may get wet.

The ASICS GEL-1130 features a combination of breathable mesh, synthetic overlays (including 'Pure Silver' synthetics), and genuine leather components, complemented by a durable rubber outsole.

Ensure you have selected the correct size (e.g., UK 5.5). ASICS generally fits true to size, but comfort can vary. Allow a short break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or insole.

This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath it, and then reinserting it. If the issue persists, a light dusting of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help.

Follow the spot cleaning instructions under the 'Care Instructions' section. For stubborn stains, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for mesh and synthetic materials may be necessary. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

While the GEL-1130 offers good cushioning, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If you have specific arch support needs, consider using custom or over-the-counter insoles, though this may alter the shoe's internal fit.
