FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The ASICS GEL-1130 features a 'late 2008 runner aesthetic' and includes GEL cushioning for impact absorption. While they offer comfort and support, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities, not intense or competitive running.

How do I clean my ASICS GEL-1130 sneakers?

Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to spot clean dirt. Air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.

What is the TRUSSTIC support system?

The TRUSSTIC system is a technology found in ASICS shoes that helps to improve stability by reinforcing the midfoot area. It prevents the shoe from twisting during movement, ensuring a more stable and supportive stride.

What is GEL cushioning?

GEL cushioning is ASICS' proprietary silicone-based technology strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock and provide cushioning during impact, enhancing overall comfort and reducing strain on your feet.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the shoes offer standard protection, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may result in damp feet and potentially damage the materials. It's best to avoid excessively wet environments to preserve their condition.

Do these shoes run true to size?

ASICS generally runs true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's always recommended to consult the ASICS size chart or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit.

Are these suitable for arch support?

The ASICS GEL-1130 offers a degree of inherent arch support through its midsole design and TRUSSTIC system. For individuals with specific arch support needs, custom orthotics or insoles can often be used.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Re-tie laces, ensuring even tension across the foot. Consider trying different lacing techniques or adjusting sock thickness. Verify that you have the correct size; shoe fit can vary by brand and model.

Foot discomfort after extended wear.

While the GEL-1130 offers cushioning, prolonged standing or walking might require specific insoles if you have unique foot conditions. Ensure socks are appropriate and your size is correct. These shoes are for general wear, not high-performance running.

Appearance of dirt or scuffs.

Regularly clean the shoes using a soft brush and mild soap solution as per the care instructions. For stubborn marks, specialized shoe cleaners designed for athletic footwear might be necessary. Avoid abrasive materials.

Care

To maintain the longevity and appearance of your GEL-1130 sneakers, regular care is recommended:

  1. Spot Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted with water) and cold water to gently remove dirt from the upper and sole. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage materials.
  2. Drying: Air dry away from direct sunlight or heat. Do not machine wash or use a dryer, as this can damage materials, adhesives, and alter the shoe's shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Stuffing the shoes with crumpled paper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, harsh detergents, or strong solvents as they can damage the material and color of your sneakers.
