Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-1130 is an ideal choice for adults seeking a reliable, stable trainer that bridges the gap between retro aesthetic and modern comfort. Originally released in 2008 as part of the GEL-1000 series, this unisex trainer has been updated for city walking and daily wear by incorporating advanced GEL technology in the heel; however, users should note that while it offers high stability, it is specifically optimized for urban environments rather than high-intensity trail running.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a stability running shoe, the modern GEL-1130 is primarily optimized for city walking and daily lifestyle use.
What does the 'GEL' technology actually do?
GEL technology provides specialized shock absorption in the heel, which helps reduce impact stress on the joints during walking.
How do I know my size?
The GEL-1130 follows standard adult UK sizing; we recommend selecting your usual sneaker size.
Can I wash these in a machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural foam. Please clean by hand using a damp cloth.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the model is designed to be worn by anyone, provided the appropriate size is selected.
Do they provide arch support?
Yes, the GEL-1130 is known for its stability-focused construction which offers significant support for the midfoot.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while walking
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to increase tension around the ankle collar.
Build-up of dirt in fabric textures
Use a dry, soft toothbrush to gently clear debris from the mesh or textured areas before wiping with a cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your GEL-1130 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the size is accurate to your adult UK sizing; these shoes are designed to provide a secure, locked-in feel.
- Cleaning: For canvas or synthetic portions, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For leather variants, wipe gently with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the degradation of the GEL cushioning and the fading of the green-toned fabrics.
- Air Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never use a tumble dryer, as heat can warp the structural integrity of the stability components.
