FAQs
Are the Asics GEL-1130 suitable for running?
While the GEL-1130 draws inspiration from Asics' running heritage and features GEL™ cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle or casual trainer. For intense running or athletic training, specialized running shoes are recommended.
What is the TRUSSTIC™ Support System?
The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is a component that enhances stability in the shoe's midsole. It helps control pronation (the inward rolling of the foot) and provides structural integrity, especially in the midfoot area.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no excessive pressure points.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between GEL-1130 and other Asics trainers?
The GEL-1130 is part of the heritage line, specifically paying homage to the GEL-1000™ series. It offers a retro aesthetic combined with modern comfort technologies like GEL™ cushioning and the TRUSSTIC™ system, making it ideal for lifestyle wear.
How do I care for the leather overlays?
Wipe the leather overlays with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
What does 'White / Taro Purple' mean for the colour?
'White' refers to the primary colour of the trainers. 'Taro Purple' indicates the secondary colour accents used on specific parts of the shoe, such as logos, trim, or sole details.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are tied at a comfortable tension. If still too tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoes require a break-in period.
Discomfort after short wear
Ensure correct sizing and that the shoe is suitable for your foot type. The GEL-1130 is designed for comfort but may require a break-in period for some users.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that might be affecting grip.
Materials showing wear quickly
Follow the care instructions diligently. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or abrasive conditions. Use for intended casual purposes.
