FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized for marathon running and may not provide the necessary support or durability for such intense training.

What is the main difference between GEL-1130 and GEL-KAYANO® 14?

The GEL-1130 draws aesthetic inspiration from the GEL-KAYANO® 14, featuring similar design lines and retro elements. However, the GEL-1130 incorporates repurposed synthetic materials for a more modern update and is positioned as a versatile lifestyle trainer, whereas the GEL-KAYANO® 14 is a performance running shoe.

How do I clean the synthetic leather parts?

Wipe the synthetic leather parts with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the shoes in water.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

These trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended as it may affect the materials and comfort.

What kind of arch support do they offer?

The GEL-1130 offers moderate support typical of a retro-style trainer. The GEL® cushioning in the heel contributes to overall comfort. For specific arch support needs, consulting a footwear specialist or considering insoles might be beneficial.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL® technology?

The GEL® technology in the heel is designed to absorb shock during impact, providing enhanced cushioning and comfort for everyday wear and reducing stress on your feet.

Are there other colorways available for the GEL-1130?

While this guide focuses on the White/Grey variant, ASICS often releases different colorways for popular models like the GEL-1130. Availability may vary by retailer and season.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Ensure you have measured your foot correctly. Refer to the ASICS sizing chart for accurate comparisons. Consider trying on different sizes if possible.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL® technology provides long-lasting cushioning, but performance may gradually decrease with heavy use. Consider replacing the shoes if significant wear is apparent.

Material scuffs easily

Use appropriate shoe cleaners designed for leather and synthetic materials. Apply a protective spray if available for added resistance against minor scuffs.
