FAQs

Are these ASICS Gel-1130 Trainers suitable for serious running?

While the Gel-1130 is inspired by ASICS' running heritage and features GEL technology for comfort, it is primarily designed as a 'sportstyle' shoe for daily wear, casual activities, and light exercise. For serious or competitive running, ASICS offers dedicated performance running shoe lines.

What is 'GEL technology cushioning' and what does it do?

ASICS GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system strategically placed in the midsole. It's designed to absorb impact, reducing shock during footstrike and providing a comfortable, cushioned feel throughout your day, enhancing overall comfort and reducing fatigue.

How do I clean the different materials on the shoe?

For mesh, gently scrub with a soft brush and mild soap solution, then wipe clean. For leather overlays, wipe with a damp cloth. For suede panels, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush. Always air dry completely away from direct heat.

Does this shoe offer good arch support?

The ASICS Gel-1130 Trainer offers standard arch support suitable for most neutral foot types, benefiting from its structured design and cushioned midsole. If you require specific arch support due to pronation or other foot conditions, you may consider adding custom insoles.

What is the environmental benefit of these trainers?

The sock liner of the ASICS Gel-1130 Trainer utilizes a special dyeing process that significantly reduces water usage and carbon emissions compared to conventional dyeing technologies, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.

Are ASICS Gel-1130 Trainers true to size?

ASICS shoes generally fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size. However, foot shapes vary, so trying them on to ensure the best fit is always advisable.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with new footwear, especially those with suede and leather overlays. Wear them for a few days to break them in. The materials will soften and conform to your foot's shape over time, improving comfort.

Suede areas look matted or dirty after use.

Allow any moisture to air dry completely. Then, use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction to lift dirt and restore its texture. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaner.

Feet feel hot despite breathable mesh.

While the mesh underlays offer breathability, factors like sock material or intense activity in warm conditions can still cause heat. Try wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks. Ensure the shoes are not laced too tightly, restricting airflow.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent comfort provided by GEL technology cushioning.
  • Stylish retro design suitable for everyday fashion and light sport activities.
  • Breathable construction keeps feet comfortable during wear.
  • Durable blend of suede, leather, and mesh materials.
  • Environmentally friendly sock liner dyeing process.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for sportstyle and daily wear, not specialized high-performance running.

  • White areas of the shoe may show dirt or scuffs more easily.
  • Info needed: May have less arch support compared to dedicated stability running shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unboxing: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
  2. Lacing: Ensure laces are properly threaded through all eyelets and tied securely, but not too tightly, to allow for natural foot movement.
  3. Break-in Period: For optimal comfort, wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot's unique shape. The suede and leather components may feel slightly stiff at first.

Compatibility:

  • The Gel-1130 Trainers are highly versatile, compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic apparel.
  • They pair well with jeans, chinos, shorts, tracksuits, and activewear, making them suitable for urban environments, casual social events, and light fitness activities.

Care:

  • Cleaning Mesh: Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to gently scrub mesh areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  • Cleaning Suede/Leather: For suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap, then wipe dry.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer.
  • Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray, especially for the suede components, to protect against elements.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve material integrity and color.
