FAQs

Are the Asics GEL-1130 trainers good for actual running?

While inspired by running shoe designs and featuring cushioning technology, the GEL-1130s are primarily repurposed for a lifestyle aesthetic. For dedicated high-performance running, specific running shoe models from Asics might be more suitable.

What is the TRUSSTIC™ support system?

The TRUSSTIC™ support system is an internal shank that provides midfoot stability. It helps prevent excessive twisting and ensures a more controlled stride.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to Asics' official size guide for women's trainers. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. The specific size listed, UK 8, refers to the available variant.

Can I wear these shoes with orthotics?

The shoes come with a standard insole that can usually be removed to accommodate custom orthotics or insoles. Ensure your orthotics are a similar thickness to avoid altering the shoe's fit significantly.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed with a combination of synthetic leather panelling and breathable mesh, offering both durability and ventilation.

How do these trainers compare to the GEL-KAYANO 14?

The GEL-1130 takes design inspiration from the GEL-KAYANO 14, featuring a similar modern aesthetic. However, the GEL-1130 is positioned more for lifestyle wear, while the GEL-KAYANO 14 is a performance-oriented retro runner.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the materials used (mesh and synthetic leather) are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and are suitable for dry conditions.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between shoe layers. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the issue persists, a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole may help.

Laces come undone frequently

Try double-knotting the laces. Ensure the laces are the correct length for the shoe and are not excessively worn.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Break in the shoes gradually. Consider using supportive insoles if needed, though this may affect the shoe's original cushioning.

Material scuffs or marks easily

Clean marks immediately with a damp cloth. For persistent scuffs on synthetic leather, a specialized leather cleaner or eraser might be effective. Avoid abrasive cleaning tools.

Pros and Cons

  • Comfortable heel cushioning with GEL™ technology.
  • Provides good stability for walking and casual activities.
  • Stylish retro design that complements various outfits.
  • Breathable materials enhance comfort during wear.

Cons

  • May not offer the advanced support of modern dedicated running shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup. They are compatible with standard sock wear. To care for your Asics GEL-1130 Trainers, avoid machine washing. Clean the synthetic leather and mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a soft brush. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. It is recommended to periodically check the laces and soles for wear and tear.
