FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the ASICS GEL-1130 draws from running heritage, it has been re-engineered as an everyday lifestyle shoe. It provides excellent comfort for casual walking and light activities, but it is not specifically designed for high-performance or competitive running.
How do I choose the correct size?
The ASICS GEL-1130 generally fits true to size. We recommend trying your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for optimal comfort.
What is GEL technology?
GEL technology is a cushioning system developed by ASICS. It's strategically placed in the shoe's midsole, particularly in the heel, to absorb shock and provide a softer landing with each step, enhancing overall comfort.
Can I wash these sneakers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives of the shoe. Please refer to the care instructions for proper cleaning methods, which typically involve hand-cleaning with mild soap and water.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a technology found in the midfoot area of the shoe. Its purpose is to reduce the weight of the sole unit while retaining the shoe's structural integrity, providing improved stability and preventing unwanted torsion during movement.
Are these shoes durable for daily wear?
Yes, with their synthetic leather overlays and robust rubber outsole, the ASICS GEL-1130 is designed for durability and to withstand the rigors of everyday casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. Wearing them for short periods initially can help break them in.
Foot discomfort or lack of arch support
While the GEL-1130 offers cushioning, individual arch needs vary. Consider adding over-the-counter insoles designed for arch support to enhance comfort.
Sneakers get dirty easily (especially white variant)
Regularly wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth after use. For tougher stains, use a sneaker cleaning solution and a soft brush specifically designed for footwear. Avoid prolonged exposure to dirt.
Squeaking sound when walking
Sometimes squeaking can be caused by moisture between the insole and the sole. Remove the insole, clean and dry both surfaces, and then reinsert. If the squeak persists, it might be an issue with the rubber outsole on certain surfaces.

Care:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your ASICS GEL-1130 sneakers, especially the white colorway:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, a soft brush can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Odour Control: If desired, use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda packets inside when storing to absorb moisture and odors.
