FAQs

What makes the ASICS Gel-1130 'sustainable'?

The trainers are constructed using over 20% recycled materials in their design, contributing to a reduced environmental footprint.

How does the GEL technology benefit the wearer?

The GEL technology is embedded in the heel to provide excellent shock absorption, cushioning impacts during movement and enhancing overall comfort.

Is the TRUSSIC support system necessary for all users?

The TRUSSIC support system enhances stability and prevents twisting of the midfoot. While beneficial for many, especially those needing extra support, its necessity depends on individual foot mechanics and activity type.

Can these trainers be used for long-distance running?

While they offer good cushioning and support, they are primarily classified as trainers, making them ideal for shorter runs, gym workouts, and daily wear. For dedicated long-distance running, specialized running shoes might offer more tailored features.

How should I clean the leather parts of the shoe?

Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.

What is the intended user for the Gel-1130?

This model is designed for adults and is suitable for a wide range of activities, combining athletic performance features with a modern, casual aesthetic.

Does this model come in other colors?

The specific product information provided is for the Black Graphite Grey colorway. ASICS often releases popular models in various color options, so checking with retailers for availability is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider using thinner socks or trying a half-size larger if persistent discomfort occurs, especially if your foot width is broader.

Reduced cushioning or support over time.

The GEL technology and support structures are designed for longevity, but performance can diminish with extensive, heavy use. For optimal support, consider replacing shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of running or when noticeable wear occurs.

Leather upper shows scuffs or marks.

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a leather cleaner or conditioner specifically designed for athletic footwear may be used, following the product's instructions.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the outsoles are clean and free from debris. If the slipperiness persists on very smooth or wet surfaces, consider that the tread pattern is designed for a balance of grip and durability, which may perform differently across various conditions.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime from the leather and synthetic surfaces. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a brush or cloth with a mild detergent to clean the sole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Laces: Remove laces for cleaning and wash them separately.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity. Avoid storing in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
