FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-1130 suitable for running?
While inspired by a running shoe series, the GEL-1130 has been repurposed with a lifestyle aesthetic. They offer comfort and stability for everyday wear, but may not provide the specialized features required for serious running.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully. Always allow suede to air dry naturally.
What does the TRUSSTIC™ support system do?
The TRUSSTIC™ support system is designed to enhance stability by reinforcing the middle of the sole, preventing excessive twisting of the foot.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The fit can vary. While the mesh upper offers some flexibility, it's recommended to check sizing guides or try them on if possible to determine if they suit your foot width.
What is the benefit of the dope-dyed sockliner?
The dope dyeing process significantly reduces water consumption (by approx. 33%) and carbon emissions (by approx. 45%) compared to conventional dyeing methods, making the shoe more environmentally friendly.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The suede material is not ideal for wet conditions as it can easily stain or get damaged. It is best to wear these trainers in dry weather or protect them with a suitable waterproofing spray for suede.
What is the origin of the GEL-1130 model?
The GEL-1130 is inspired by the GEL-1000™ series from 2008, bringing back its signature stable cushioning and support system in a retro-modern design.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush for light dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure laces are properly tied. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different size. The lacing system can be adjusted for a more personalized fit.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
While GEL™ technology is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. For optimal comfort, consider replacing shoes after significant wear.
Mesh upper feels less breathable.
Ensure the mesh is clean and free of debris that might obstruct airflow. Lightly brush the mesh to remove any surface dirt.
