ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers - White/Grey - UK 6.5

The GEL® technology is incorporated into the heel to provide enhanced shock absorption, reducing impact during walking or standing and contributing to overall comfort.

The GEL-1130 is designed as a retro-inspired trainer for lifestyle wear and light athletic activities. For serious or high-impact running, dedicated running shoes with more advanced performance features are recommended.

Synthetic leather offers a similar appearance but may have a different feel and breathability compared to genuine leather. It also provides durability and is often easier to clean.

The design pays homage to the ninth iteration of the GEL-1000™ series and draws aesthetic inspiration from the GEL-KAYANO® 14 sneaker, blending retro elements with a modern update.

While the trainers can handle light moisture, they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces to maintain their condition and prevent material damage.

For the White/Grey colorway, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure to dry them thoroughly afterwards. Protect from excessive dirt and staining where possible.

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers or the insole. Try removing the insole and ensuring both it and the shoe interior are completely dry. If the noise persists, it might be related to the sole's construction.

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. If still uncomfortable, verify the size selected is appropriate for your foot. Consider using thicker or thinner socks to slightly adjust the fit.

The GEL® technology is designed for longevity, but like all cushioning, it can compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., intense sports) which could accelerate wear.
