FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GEL-1130 is primarily a lifestyle fashion sneaker. While it features running-inspired technology, it is designed for casual daily wear rather than athletic training.
How do I maintain the suede panels?
Keep them dry. If they get dirty, use a dry suede brush or eraser specifically designed for leather/suede footwear.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
Yes, it includes the TRUSSTIC support system, which provides structural stability similar to the original performance running models.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing can compromise the adhesives and materials. Hand-cleaning with appropriate products is recommended.
What is the primary material used?
The exterior features a blend of suede and synthetic leather paneling, paired with breathable mesh.
Are these trainers breathable?
Yes, they feature mesh panelling intended to promote airflow and keep your feet comfortable throughout the day.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede surfaces
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt; avoid using water or standard soap on suede areas.
Feeling of slipping or instability
Check that the laces are tightened properly to lock the heel in place; if the insole has shifted, remove and reseat it properly.
Odour buildup
Remove the insoles after long days to allow the shoe interior to air out; avoid machine washing, which can damage the glue and structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for standard adult sizing; ensure you select the appropriate UK size for a secure fit. As the shoes incorporate suede, avoid exposing them to heavy rain or mud, as moisture can damage the texture of the material. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the suede panels and a damp, non-abrasive cloth to wipe down synthetic leather areas. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
