FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-1130 suitable for running marathons?
No, the GEL-1130 is designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. For marathon running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models that provide more advanced cushioning, support, and energy return.
What is the main benefit of the GEL™ Technology Cushioning?
The GEL™ Technology Cushioning in the heel is designed to absorb shock effectively during the impact phase of your stride, providing a smoother transition and reducing stress on your joints.
How do the leather overlays contribute to the shoe's performance?
The leather overlays add structural integrity and durability to the shoe, reinforcing key areas that experience high stress. They also contribute to the shoe's aesthetic appeal.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers, as this can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning.
What does the TRUSSTIC™ Support System do?
The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is integrated into the midsole to provide torsional stability and support for the arch and midfoot, helping to control pronation and improve gait efficiency.
How should I store my GEL-1130 trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag can help maintain their shape and protect them.
Are these trainers unisex?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Break them in gradually with short periods of wear.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good grip, but performance may vary on very wet or extremely smooth surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear
Avoid excessive abrasion against rough surfaces. Clean gently with a damp cloth, avoiding harsh scrubbing.
