FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-1130 is inspired by a running shoe (GEL-Kayano 14) and incorporates GEL technology for shock absorption. It's excellent for everyday comfort, walking, and light training activities, but it's primarily designed as a versatile trainer for general wear rather than high-performance or competitive running.
How should I clean my ASICS Gel-1130 trainers?
For the mesh and leather upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap if needed. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
What is ASICS GEL technology?
GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system. In the Gel-1130, it's strategically placed in the heel to absorb impact shock, providing exceptional comfort and helping to reduce strain on your joints during various activities.
What does TRUSSTIC technology do?
TRUSSTIC technology is a lightweight support system located in the midfoot area of the shoe's sole. It provides stability by preventing excessive twisting of the foot, enhancing confidence and safety during movements.
Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-1130 typically features removable insoles, making it generally compatible with custom orthotics. Ensure your orthotic fits comfortably within the shoe without causing pressure points.
Are there other colors or sizes available for the Gel-1130?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-1130 series is available in a variety of other colorways and sizes beyond the Black Pure Silver UK 6.5 variant. Please check with authorized ASICS retailers for current availability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure you are wearing the correct size by checking ASICS' official sizing guide. Consider if thick or thin socks are affecting the fit.
Foot discomfort after extended wear.
While GEL technology provides cushioning, prolonged discomfort may indicate worn-out insoles, or that the shoe type isn't ideal for your specific foot mechanics or activity level. Try airing out the shoes and insoles. If issues persist, consult a professional for a foot assessment.
Shoes develop an odor.
Ensure shoes are properly aired out after each use. Remove insoles to allow them to dry. Use shoe deodorizers or stuff shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture. Avoid storing shoes in damp or confined spaces.
Slipping or reduced grip on the sole.
Check the rubber sole for excessive wear on the tread. Clean any mud, dirt, or debris from the outsole that might be reducing grip. If the tread is significantly worn, it may be time to replace the shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Lacing: Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
Fit Adjustment: Once your foot is in, pull the laces evenly from bottom to top, adjusting tension for a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the tongue is centered.
Heel Lock: For a more secure fit, especially during activities, consider utilizing the top eyelets for a 'heel lock' lacing technique.
Compatibility:
Designed for adults, available in various sizes and gender specifications (e.g., Male, Female, Unisex variants). This specific model is a UK 6.5 (Female).
Suitable for a wide range of foot types due to its adaptable lace-up design and standard fit.
Compatible with most standard or custom orthotics, as the textile insoles are generally removable.
Care:
Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) diluted in water. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive brushes.
Sole Cleaning: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the rubber sole and tread.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators, hair dryers, or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Odor Prevention: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. Using shoe deodorizers or stuffing shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and prevent odors.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to maintain material integrity.
