Product Information

Full details

The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the combination of a breathable mesh upper, supportive TRUSSTIC system, and GEL cushioning for excellent shock absorption. A potential caveat is that the 'white' colorway may require more frequent cleaning to maintain its appearance. These trainers offer a durable rubber outsole for reliable traction and feature signature ASICS branding.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are designed for retro running style and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized for high-performance marathon running. For that, consider ASICS' dedicated running shoe lines.

How do I know if I have the right size?

You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive tightness across the width of your foot.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS GEL-1130 trainers. Machine washing can damage the GEL cushioning, adhesives, and upper materials. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning.

What does the TRUSSTIC support system do?

The TRUSSTIC support system is a molded component located in the midfoot area of the shoe. It helps to increase stability by controlling torsion, preventing excessive twisting of the foot during movement.

How often should I replace my GEL-1130 trainers?

The lifespan of trainers depends on usage. For regular daily wear, most trainers last between 6 to 12 months. If you notice significant wear on the outsole, reduced cushioning, or discomfort, it's time for a replacement.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are not waterproof. They feature a breathable mesh upper which is excellent for ventilation but will allow water to penetrate in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try loosening the laces slightly or wearing thicker socks. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder in the insole might help.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. Lacing techniques can also adjust fit; try a runner's knot or skipping eyelets.

Dirt or stains on the white material

Address stains promptly using a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt on the mesh, a soft-bristled brush can be effective. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic attire. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and synthetic parts, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean away dirt and stains. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe the rubber sole and midsole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a slightly stiffer brush can be used.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. It is recommended to keep them in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and damage.
