FAQs

How do I ensure I order the correct size?

Measure your foot length from the heel to the tip of your longest toe. If your measurement is between two standard sizes, ASICS advises selecting the larger size for optimal comfort.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL® technology?

The GEL® technology in the heel is designed to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact during movement and ensuring all-day comfort.

Are these trainers suitable for serious athletic training?

The Gel-1130 are designed with stability and comfort for everyday wear and light athletic activities. For highly specialized or intense athletic training, consider models specifically engineered for those purposes.

How should I clean my ASICS Gel-1130 trainers?

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the upper. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and construction.

What is the inspiration behind the Gel-1130 design?

The design is inspired by the ninth iteration of the GEL-1000™ series and shares similar aesthetics with the GEL-KAYANO® 14 sneaker, offering a retro running shoe look.

What does 'White Shark Skin' refer to in the product name?

'White Shark Skin' refers to the specific colorway and material finish of the trainers, indicating a predominantly white color with grey accents and a particular texture.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels slightly off

Measure your foot length carefully from heel to toe. If you are between sizes, select the larger size as recommended. Allow a break-in period for the shoes to conform to your foot shape.

Discomfort during initial wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Materials appear to be scuffing easily

The synthetic leather can be sensitive to abrasive contact. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Consider using a protective spray suitable for synthetic leather if desired.
