FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS Gel 1130 trainers are designed for everyday comfort and casual wear. While they offer cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for the high demands of marathon running. For marathon training and racing, ASICS recommends specialized running shoes.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
You can clean the mesh upper using a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently scrub away dirt. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning in the heel is designed to absorb shock during impact. This helps to reduce stress on your feet and joints, providing a more comfortable experience during walking and everyday activities.
Can these trainers be worn by women?
While listed under men's sizing, the design is unisex. Women may need to adjust sizing to find their best fit, typically by selecting a size and a half to two sizes down from their usual women's size.
How durable is the outsole?
The TPU/rubber outsole is designed for good durability and traction for everyday wear. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive wear on abrasive surfaces will help prolong its lifespan.
What type of support do these trainers offer?
These trainers offer everyday support suitable for walking and standing. They feature structural overlays and a layered silhouette that contribute to a secure and supportive fit for general use.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with thinner socks initially, and allow for a break-in period. Loosening the laces can also improve initial comfort.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
While GEL cushioning is durable, its effectiveness may diminish with extensive wear. Consider replacing the trainers if they no longer provide adequate support and shock absorption.
Slipping on smooth surfaces.
The TPU/rubber outsole is designed for general grip. If you experience slipping on very smooth or wet surfaces, exercise caution or consider alternative footwear for those specific conditions.
Discoloration or material damage.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals, which can degrade materials. Clean regularly as per care instructions to maintain appearance and integrity.
