FAQs

What is the main technology used for cushioning?

The GEL-1130 features Asics' signature GEL™ Technology Cushioning, designed to absorb shock and provide a comfortable experience.

Are these shoes suitable for serious running?

While inspired by running heritage, the GEL-1130 is primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. For serious or long-distance running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning are recommended.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the Asics sizing chart and measure your foot. It's also recommended to try them on with your usual athletic socks to gauge the fit accurately.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed with a combination of a breathable mesh material and supportive leather overlays.

Can I wash these sneakers in a washing machine?

No, washing machines are not recommended as they can damage the shoe's structure and materials. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What does the TRUSSTIC™ Support System do?

The TRUSSTIC™ Support System provides stability to the midfoot, helping to control pronation and enhance the shoe's overall structure.

What is the main difference between the GEL-1130 and other Asics models?

The GEL-1130 is a lifestyle-oriented shoe that pays homage to past running models like the GEL-1000 series, combining classic aesthetics with modern comfort features for everyday use.

Troubleshooting

Uncomfortable fit

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still problematic, consider the possibility of different foot shapes and widths. Try them on with the socks you typically wear.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction between components or moisture. Try inserting a talc-free powder inside the shoe or check if any part of the sole is loose. Ensure the insoles are correctly placed.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL™ cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. For continued comfort, consider replacing the insoles or evaluating if the shoes have reached the end of their optimal lifespan for your activity level.
