FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and light training. They offer good cushioning and stability for everyday activities but are not optimized for high-impact running.
What material are the ASICS GEL-1130 made from?
These trainers feature synthetic leather paneling combined with traditional materials, incorporating GEL® technology in the heel for cushioning.
How do I clean my GEL-1130 trainers?
Clean the trainers using a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution sparingly and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
The insoles are typically removable, making it possible to insert custom orthotics. We recommend checking the specific shoe construction if possible or trying them on with your orthotics.
What is the main benefit of the GEL® technology?
The GEL® technology in the heel is designed to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact during walking and standing, thus enhancing overall comfort.
Are these trainers true to size?
Fit can vary slightly between individuals. It is recommended to refer to the size guide and consider trying them on if possible. The UK 5.5 is a specific measurement provided.
What does the 'heritage runner' description mean?
It indicates that the shoe's design is inspired by or a modernized version of ASICS' past running shoe models, blending classic styling with contemporary features.
Troubleshooting
Fit feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to provide more or less snugness. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider if socks worn affect the fit.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, check for proper sizing and consider alternative lacing techniques.
Slight creasing on upper material
Minor creasing is normal with leather and synthetic materials during wear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces.
