FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-1130 suitable for running marathons?
While they offer good cushioning and stability, the GEL-1130 is primarily designed for everyday wear and light training. For marathon running, dedicated running shoes with specialized features for high mileage and impact are recommended.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. Measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the corresponding UK size. The provided size is UK 7.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The trainers are made with synthetic leather and mesh. While they can handle light moisture, they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles, and ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.
What is the main difference between the GEL-1130 and other ASICS models?
The GEL-1130 draws aesthetic inspiration from older GEL-1000™ and GEL-KAYANO® models, offering a retro look with modern comfort features like GEL® cushioning. It's positioned as a stable, comfortable trainer for daily use.
How do I clean the GEL cushioning if it gets dirty?
The GEL cushioning is integrated into the midsole. Clean the exterior of the shoe, including the midsole area, with a damp cloth. Avoid direct immersion or scrubbing of the cushioning material itself.
What does 'synthetic leather paneling' mean for durability?
Synthetic leather paneling is used to provide structure and support in key areas. It is generally durable and easier to clean than natural leather, contributing to the shoe's longevity under normal wear conditions.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check sock thickness.
Reduced cushioning effect
The GEL® technology is designed for long-term durability. If cushioning feels significantly reduced, consider the shoe's age and wear pattern. Cleaning might help if debris is affecting performance.
Material wear on synthetic leather
Clean regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or rough surfaces that could scuff the material.
