FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-1130 GS are designed for everyday comfort and light activity. While they offer cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and stability required for intense or competitive running.
What does 'GS' stand for?
'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School', indicating that this model is sized for children and younger individuals.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is made from a combination of synthetic leather and textile materials, designed for breathability and comfort.
How is the grip of the sole?
The rubber outsole is designed to provide excellent grip and traction for everyday surfaces.
Are these trainers unisex?
While the 'Lavender Glow' colorway leans feminine, the GEL-1130 model is generally considered unisex, with specific colorways and sizing available for different preferences.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Loosen the laces and ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the tightness persists, consider if this is the correct size or if the shoe needs a short break-in period.
Laces fraying or breaking.
Replace the laces with standard athletic shoe laces. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight during wear.
Slight discoloration on the upper.
Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, a mild shoe cleaner specifically for leather and synthetic materials may be used sparingly.
