ASICS GEL-1130 - Black - Size: 5

The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are primarily designed for everyday comfort and casual wear for juniors. While they offer good support and cushioning, for specialized high-impact sports or specific athletic training, you might consider shoes specifically designed for those activities.

We recommend measuring your child's foot length and width, then comparing it to the ASICS sizing chart for juniors. It's often best to measure at the end of the day when feet are at their largest. These specific trainers are UK Size 5.

GEL technology in ASICS shoes refers to strategically placed silicone-based material that provides superior shock absorption. In the GEL-1130, it's typically found in the heel to help attenuate impact during footstrike, offering a smoother and more comfortable ride.

The TRUSSTIC system is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe. Its purpose is to provide stability and reduce the weight of the sole unit while retaining the shoe's structural integrity, helping to prevent the shoe from twisting excessively during movement.

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning of the trainers. Please follow the care instructions provided, which involve spot cleaning with a mild soap and damp cloth.

The ASICS GEL-1130 features a grippy rubber outsole designed to provide firm traction on various common surfaces. While they offer good grip for everyday use, they are not specifically certified as slip-resistant work shoes.

Ensure the laces are not pulled too tight. Check if the size is correct; compare with other shoes or re-measure foot size. Allow a short break-in period for the materials to adapt to the foot.

Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear or foreign objects embedded in the tread. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a stiff brush and water to remove any dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.

Remove the insoles and allow both the insoles and the trainers to air out thoroughly. Use an absorbent material like baking soda (placed in socks inside the shoes overnight) or a shoe deodorizer spray. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.

Gently clean the affected area with a soft cloth or brush, using a small amount of mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid scrubbing aggressively, which can damage the mesh. Pat dry with a clean cloth and air dry completely.
