FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity running?
While based on a 2008 performance shoe, the current version of the GEL-1130 is designed for lifestyle and casual use. They are best suited for walking and daily activities rather than training for a marathon.
Does this model come in different widths?
The GEL-1130 typically comes in a standard width that fits a wide range of foot types due to the flexible lacing system.
How do I determine my size?
ASICS generally follows standard UK athletic sizing. It is best to use a ruler to measure your foot from heel to toe and consult an ASICS size chart, adding 0.5cm for comfort.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
How do I keep the white leather clean?
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface finish.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight across the instep.
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'parallel' or 'gap' lacing method to reduce pressure on the top of the foot.
Heel slipping while walking.
Use the extra top eyelet to create a 'runner's loop' or 'lock lace' to secure the heel firmly against the back of the shoe.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the upper. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can degrade the foam and leather components.
- Maintenance: Replace the laces if they become frayed and consider using a water-repellent spray if walking in wet, urban conditions to protect the materials.
