ASICS GEL-1130 - White - UK 8

ASICS GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system placed in the sole, typically the heel, to absorb shock during impact and provide enhanced comfort.

The TRUSSTIC system is a technology in the midfoot that improves stability and prevents the shoe from twisting excessively during movement, offering a more supportive ride.

The GEL-1130 provides comfort and support ideal for daily wear and light, recreational running. For more serious or high-mileage running, ASICS offers other models designed with specialized performance features.

Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe down the upper. Avoid scrubbing harshly or using strong chemicals. Always allow them to air dry completely.

The GEL-1130 draws its design cues from the iconic ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 series, giving it a distinctive late 2000s aesthetic that blends retro and modern elements.

While the synthetic leather offers some water resistance, the mesh sections are breathable and not waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or standing water to keep your feet dry and preserve the shoes' condition.

Ensure the laces are not overtightened. Try re-lacing the shoes, starting from the toe box and gradually tightening towards the ankle. Wear them for short periods initially to allow for break-in, as materials may soften with use. Check sock thickness.

Verify that your foot is properly centered within the shoe and the laces are securely fastened to engage the TRUSSTIC support system. If instability persists, consider if the shoe's support level matches your foot type (e.g., pronation needs).

Clean regularly after use, especially after walking on dirty terrain. Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then air dry. Consider using a shoe protector spray suitable for mesh and synthetic materials.

Sometimes squeaking can come from the insole rubbing against the bottom of the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and if the squeaking persists, a thin layer of baby powder or fabric softener sheet under the insole can help reduce friction.
