FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
The ASICS GEL-1130 are designed as heritage runners with GEL® technology for cushioning and stability, making them excellent for everyday wear, walking, and light jogging. For intense or specialized running, a dedicated performance running shoe might be more appropriate.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL® technology?
The GEL® technology in the heel provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints and offering enhanced comfort during prolonged wear.
How do I clean the synthetic leather parts?
Gently wipe the synthetic leather with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While they can handle light moisture, these trainers are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their longevity.
What does 'Faded Ash Rock' refer to?
'Faded Ash Rock' describes the specific shade of grey used in the colorway, offering a subtle, muted tone that complements the primary white color.
How does this model compare to older ASICS GEL-1000 series shoes?
The GEL-1130 pays homage to the GEL-1000™ series but updates it with synthetic leather paneling for a more modern aesthetic, while retaining the core comfort and stability features like GEL® technology.
What size should I order if I'm between sizes?
If you are typically between sizes, it is often recommended to try the larger size for a more comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. However, fit can vary, so checking available size charts or reviews may be helpful.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Loosen the laces and adjust them for a more comfortable fit. If the issue persists, ensure you have the correct size or consider wearing thinner socks.
Slight squeaking noise.
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few days to break them in. If the noise continues, check for any loose parts or moisture trapped inside. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.
Discoloration on the white material.
Address stains promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a specialized shoe cleaner might be necessary, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
