FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running competitions?
The ASICS GEL-1130 GS are designed for everyday wear and light training. For competitive running, specialized running shoes with advanced performance features are recommended.
How do I know if I'm buying the right size?
It's best to measure your child's foot from heel to toe and compare it with the ASICS sizing chart. Consider that the UK 4.5 is equivalent to a specific children's foot size.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand clean with a damp cloth as per the care instructions.
What does 'GS' stand for in GEL-1130 GS?
GS typically stands for 'Grade School', indicating that this model is intended for children in that age and size range.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials and offer some resistance to light moisture, but should not be submerged in water.
How does the GEL cushioning work?
The GEL cushioning technology is a silicone-based material strategically placed in the heel to absorb shock effectively, providing a softer landing and reducing impact on joints.
What is the benefit of the recycled materials?
Using recycled materials reduces the environmental impact of manufacturing by conserving resources and minimizing waste. It contributes to a more sustainable product.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and readjust for a more comfortable fit. Ensure the correct size has been purchased by checking foot measurements.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
While GEL cushioning is durable, it may feel less responsive over extensive use. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might affect cushioning.
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded debris like small stones or mud, which can reduce grip. Clean the sole thoroughly with a brush.
Materials appear scuffed or dirty
Refer to the 'Care' section for instructions on gently cleaning the synthetic leather and textile upper. Spot clean minor scuffs with a damp cloth.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and prevent material degradation. It's recommended to use a shoe bag or keep them in their original box.
