FAQs

Are the ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers suitable for running?

The GEL-1130 Trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer stable cushioning, they are not optimized for high-impact running or athletic training. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe lines.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used cautiously, following the product's instructions. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.

What does the TRUSSTIC™ Support System do?

The TRUSSTIC™ Support System is designed to provide midfoot stability by controlling torsion, helping to prevent the shoe from twisting excessively and offering a more stable stride.

What is the main difference between the GEL-1130 and other ASICS running shoes?

The GEL-1130 is a retro-inspired lifestyle trainer that emphasizes comfort and stability for everyday wear, drawing from older running shoe designs. Dedicated ASICS running shoes are engineered with advanced technologies specifically for performance, cushioning, and support during running activities.

How long does the GEL™ cushioning typically last?

ASICS GEL™ technology is designed for durability. With proper care and for intended lifestyle use, the cushioning should maintain its effectiveness for the typical lifespan of a shoe, which is generally considered to be several hundred miles of wear or a few years of casual use.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. The suede material can be susceptible to water damage and staining. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their appearance and material integrity.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting them on. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if the break-in period is needed. Consult sizing charts for accuracy.

Discomfort in the heel

Verify that the correct size has been purchased. The GEL™ technology may require a short break-in period. Ensure socks are worn to prevent friction.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, refer to specific suede cleaning product instructions carefully.

Reduced grip on surfaces

Check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. If significantly worn, replacement may be considered.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, the ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers require no setup. Simply lace them up and they are ready for use.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult male foot sizes, with a focus on casual wear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual clothing styles.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your GEL-1130 Trainers:

  1. Cleaning Suede: For suede areas, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and conditioner may be used sparingly, following product instructions.
  2. Cleaning Mesh: The mesh upper can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  3. Insoles: If removable, the insoles can be taken out and aired to reduce odor. Hand wash with mild soap and water if necessary, and allow to air dry completely.
  4. Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  5. Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
