FAQs

Are the GEL-1130 trainers suitable for long-distance running?

While based on a 2008 running shoe, the modern GEL-1130 is positioned as a lifestyle fashion sneaker and is best suited for walking and everyday wear rather than marathon or high-intensity athletic running.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper incorporates synthetic leather paneling, which provides a balance between structural durability and a contemporary aesthetic.

Is the sizing true to standard UK measurements?

The ASICS GEL-1130 typically follows standard sizing. If you have worn ASICS before, we recommend sticking to your usual size, or consulting a sizing chart if you are between sizes.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the materials, especially the leather and suede components. Stick to hand cleaning with a soft cloth.

What is the benefit of the TRUSSTIC system?

The TRUSSTIC system acts as a supportive bridge under the arch of the foot, providing stability and helping to prevent the shoe from twisting during movement.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

Yes, the combination of the molded midsole and the internal TRUSSTIC system offers a supportive feel that is generally more stable than a flat-soled casual shoe.

Troubleshooting

Outer material shows signs of dirt or stains

Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris. For tougher spots, use a cloth slightly dampened with mild soap and water, specifically avoiding soaking the leather/suede panels.

The shoe fit feels too snug

Ensure the laces are adjusted properly, as they may have tightened during the initial breaking-in period. If the fit remains restrictive, ensure you are wearing an appropriate thickness of sock.

Sole grip feels slippery on polished floors

Check the outsole for debris or dust accumulation. Wipe the bottom of the soles with a damp cloth to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ASICS GEL-1130 trainers stay in peak condition, consider the following care guidelines.

Care Instructions:

  • Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt using a soft-bristled brush.
  • Material Care: Since the shoes feature leather and suede elements, avoid total immersion in water. Use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth for spot cleaning synthetic leather.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading or structural degradation.
  • Drying: If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature. Avoid heat sources like radiators, as these can warp the materials and damage the adhesive bond.
