ASICS GEL-1130 - Black - Size: 1

The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are excellent for general daily activities and light sports. While they offer good support and cushioning, for highly specialized sports (like football, basketball, or track and field), sport-specific footwear designed for those particular movements and impacts might be more appropriate.

To clean the mesh, use a soft cloth or brush dampened with water and a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub the dirty areas. Avoid saturating the shoe with water and never put them in a washing machine, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.

ASICS' GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning material placed in key areas of the midsole, typically the heel. It's designed to absorb shock during impact, providing a softer landing and smoother transition, which significantly enhances comfort and reduces strain on joints during activities.

We recommend measuring your child's feet regularly, as they grow quickly. Compare their measurements to the ASICS size chart. It's often best to measure both feet and use the larger measurement. Leave about a thumb's width space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe.

While technically possible, wearing socks is highly recommended. Socks help to wick away moisture, prevent blisters, and maintain hygiene, prolonging the freshness and lifespan of the trainers.

Yes, the GEL-1130's design draws inspiration from ASICS' stability running shoes from 2008. This heritage influence gives them a distinct retro aesthetic, combining classic lines with modern materials for a stylish yet functional trainer.

Adjust the lace tension. For a secure fit, ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot. If discomfort persists, verify the size against a sizing guide or consider having your child's foot professionally measured.

Ensure your child wears moisture-wicking socks. After use, remove insoles to allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight.

Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole with a stiff brush and water to remove dirt. If the tread is significantly worn, replacement may be necessary for safety.
