FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers suitable for running marathons?
No, the GEL-1130 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light training. They offer good cushioning but lack the advanced features and support required for long-distance running like marathons.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on their official website or consult the size guide provided by the retailer. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Trying them on if possible is always the best method.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS GEL-1130 trainers. Machine washing can damage the delicate materials, adhesives, and cushioning systems. Handwashing with a soft brush and mild detergent is the preferred method.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?
The GEL technology in the midsole is designed to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear, leading to enhanced comfort.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are not waterproof. They feature a breathable mesh upper which is not designed to repel water. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture, but not for heavy rain or wet environments.
What is the difference between the GEL-1130 and other ASICS running shoes?
The GEL-1130 is part of ASICS' lifestyle or retro-inspired range, focusing on a blend of classic design and everyday comfort. Performance running shoes from ASICS typically offer more advanced technologies for specific running disciplines, higher levels of support, and specialized cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance on very wet surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For consistently wet conditions, consider shoes with specialized tread patterns.
Shoes feel too tight after a short period of wear.
This could indicate a sizing issue or that the shoes require a break-in period. Try wearing them for short durations initially. If the tightness persists, consider if a larger size or a different width might be more appropriate.
Mesh upper appears to be stretching or losing shape.
Mesh is designed to be flexible, but excessive stretching could occur with improper care or overuse beyond intended activities. Ensure the shoes are not used for high-impact sports. Follow care instructions carefully to maintain material integrity.
Insole feels uncomfortable or lacks arch support.
The included insole provides standard cushioning. If additional support is needed, consider purchasing aftermarket insoles designed for enhanced arch support or cushioning, which can be inserted into the shoe.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove dirt and debris from the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the sole units with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the shoe's integrity and color.
