FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a 2008 performance running model, the current iteration of the GEL-1130 is marketed primarily for lifestyle, casual, and street wear rather than long-distance athletic running.
Does the sizing run true to size?
Yes, the GEL-1130 is designed to align with standard UK adult sizing conventions.
How do I clean the mesh components?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust and a gentle cloth with mild detergent to spot-clean any stubborn stains on the mesh.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is strongly recommended to avoid the washing machine, as the heat and mechanical action can damage the GEL cushioning and adhesive bonds of the shoe.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these trainers are not designed as waterproof footwear. They are made from breathable materials like mesh and leather that may absorb water.
Troubleshooting
Outer sole appears to be losing grip
Clean the soles thoroughly with warm soapy water to remove debris and oils that may cause slickness on smooth surfaces.
Creasing on the upper material
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize permanent creasing in leather or synthetic areas.
Insole feels less supportive over time
Consider replacing the original sockliner with a high-quality aftermarket insole if you require additional arch support or extra cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS GEL-1130 trainers, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush. For leather models, use a dedicated leather cleaner; for mesh panels, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or stiffening.
- Fit: These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to wear the type of socks you intend to use daily when fitting to ensure the correct heel lock.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup in the cushioning materials.
