FAQs

Are the ASICS GEL-1130 shoes suitable for running?

While the GEL-1130 draws inspiration from ASICS's running heritage, it is designed as an everyday lifestyle shoe. It provides comfort and support for casual wear and light walking, but it is not intended for high-performance or intense running activities.

How do I clean the mesh upper and synthetic overlays?

For best results, hand wash with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

What is GEL Technology cushioning?

ASICS's signature GEL Technology cushioning is strategically placed in the heel to provide excellent shock absorption. It helps to attenuate impact during stride, offering lasting comfort and a smoother feel.

What does the TRUSSTIC Support System do?

The TRUSSTIC Support System is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to provide enhanced stability and help control torsion, ensuring a more stable and efficient stride for everyday movement.

Is this shoe true to size?

ASICS generally offers consistent sizing, but fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend referring to the ASICS size guide to confirm your UK 3.5 fit and trying them on to ensure optimal comfort.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

Due to the breathable mesh upper, the ASICS GEL-1130 offers limited water resistance. For best results and to keep your feet dry, it's advisable to avoid heavy rain or puddles. A water-repellent spray can offer some protection.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you've selected the correct UK size 3.5. Try adjusting the lacing for a more customized fit. Wear them with different sock thicknesses. If discomfort persists, verify sizing against ASICS's size chart.

Shoes get dirty quickly, especially the cream/grey areas.

Regularly spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, use a soft brush gently on the mesh and synthetic overlays. Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray after cleaning and drying.

Squeaking sound while walking.

This can sometimes occur between the insole and the shoe's footbed. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath, and replacing it. A light sprinkle of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole might also help.

Decreased cushioning feel over time.

While GEL technology is durable, all cushioning materials compress over extended use. Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended lifestyle purpose, not high-impact sports, to prolong cushioning lifespan. Consider replacing the insoles with fresh ones for renewed comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Product Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your GEL-1130 shoes.

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt, gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft cloth or brush dampened with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, remove laces and insoles. Hand wash with a gentle shoe cleaner and cold water. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  4. Odour Control: Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes when not in use to help absorb moisture and neutralize odours.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  6. Protectant Spray: Consider using a shoe protectant spray suitable for mesh and synthetic materials to help repel water and stains, especially given the lighter colour palette.
