Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-1130 is a versatile lifestyle trainer designed for adults who value a blend of retro running aesthetics and modern day-to-day comfort. Based on the 2008 GEL-1000 series, these shoes offer reliable heel cushioning and stability for urban environments, though their structured design may feel firmer compared to ultra-plush contemporary performance footwear.

FAQs
Are the GEL-1130 trainers suitable for running?
While they were originally designed as stability running shoes in 2008, they are now marketed as fashion sneakers for lifestyle use.
How should I clean the mesh portion of the shoe?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water, dabbing the mesh areas gently rather than rubbing vigorously.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adult men.
What is the benefit of the TRUSSTIC system?
The TRUSSTIC system is a structural component that adds stability and torsional rigidity, preventing the foot from twisting incorrectly.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can cause the glue to loosen and the suede material to lose its shape and texture.
Are they breathable?
Yes, they feature strategically placed mesh panels that allow for consistent airflow.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede panels
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry, soft-bristled toothbrush to gently lift the nap and remove dust.
Creasing in the synthetic overlays
This is a normal characteristic of the material; keeping the shoes stored with wooden shoe trees when not in use can help maintain their shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the GEL-1130 uses a mix of suede and synthetic materials, proper care is essential to maintain the upper's appearance.
- Care Instructions: Gently brush away dry dirt from the suede panels using a soft-bristled brush. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture. Use a damp cloth for synthetic overlays and the midsole.
- Compatibility: The neutral black/grey aesthetic makes these easy to pair with most casual wardrobes. Ensure you choose your standard UK sizing, as the fit is consistent with the classic ASICS runner shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the adhesive and materials from degrading prematurely.
