FAQs

Are the ASICS GEL-1130 suitable for running?

While they offer GEL® cushioning for comfort, the GEL-1130 is primarily designed as a retro-inspired trainer for everyday wear and light activities. They are not optimized for high-impact running like dedicated running shoes.

What makes the GEL-1130 different from the GEL-KAYANO® 14?

The GEL-1130 is inspired by the GEL-KAYANO® 14 and shares similar aesthetics. However, the GEL-1130 features modernized materials like synthetic leather paneling and is positioned as a versatile trainer, whereas the GEL-KAYANO® 14 is a more performance-oriented stability running shoe.

How do I clean the synthetic leather parts?

Wipe the synthetic leather with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry.

What is the main benefit of the GEL® technology?

The GEL® technology in the heel provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints and enhancing overall comfort during wear, especially for prolonged periods.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles is not recommended as it can affect the materials and longevity.

What sizes are available?

The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are available in various adult UK sizes. Please check the product listing for the specific size range.

Troubleshooting

Uncomfortable fit or rubbing

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with appropriate socks. Break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole. Try sprinkling a little talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole. Check if the laces are too tight.

Yellowing of midsole material

Some aging and yellowing of foam or rubber components over time is natural, especially with exposure to light and air. This typically does not affect performance but is a cosmetic change.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with casual attire, athleisure wear, and even smart-casual outfits. They are suitable for a wide range of everyday activities.

Care: To maintain the trainers' appearance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic leather and mesh uppers with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  3. Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles and clean them separately. Allow them to dry completely before reinserting.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
