FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-1130 suitable for running marathons?

What is the primary inspiration for the GEL-1130 design?

How do I clean my ASICS GEL-1130 trainers?
Clean with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow to air dry naturally.
Can these trainers be worn by women?
While marketed towards men, the sizing is often adaptable. It's recommended to consult the ASICS size guide and potentially consider a size down from your usual women's size for a suitable fit.
What does the 'GEL' in GEL-1130 refer to?
GEL® refers to ASICS' proprietary cushioning technology, which uses a silicone-based material in the heel to absorb shock effectively and provide a softer landing.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are not waterproof. They are made from materials like leather and synthetic leather, which offer some resistance to light moisture but are not designed for submersion or heavy rain.
How durable are the synthetic leather panels?
The synthetic leather panels are designed to offer a modern aesthetic and reasonable durability for casual wear. Proper care, as outlined in the care instructions, will help maintain their condition.
Troubleshooting
Inconsistent sizing
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and consider trying half a size up or down based on reviews and personal preference. Different models can have slight variations.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL® cushioning is designed for longevity, but its effectiveness may slightly decrease with extensive use. Ensure proper care to maintain material integrity.
Material scuffing
Synthetic leather can be prone to scuffing. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For minor scuffs, specific shoe cleaning kits might offer solutions.
Discomfort during initial wear
New shoes can sometimes require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
