FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS Gel-1130 trainers are designed for everyday comfort and light activity. For marathon running, ASICS offers specialized running shoes with more advanced performance features.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Due to the nature of shoe sizing, visiting a store or ordering multiple sizes to try at home can be beneficial.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the materials offer some resistance, they are not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles to protect the materials and maintain comfort.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL™ technology?
The GEL™ technology in the midsole is engineered to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints during movement and providing a softer feel underfoot.
How do the synthetic leather overlays affect the shoe?
The synthetic leather overlays add structure and support to the shoe, enhancing its durability and contributing to the overall retro aesthetic.
What is the inspiration behind the Gel-1130 design?
The design is inspired by ASICS' GEL-1000 series, aiming to combine its classic heritage with modern comfort technologies.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with appropriate socks. Break them in gradually with short periods of wear.
Reduced cushioning over time
While GEL™ technology is durable, cushioning may decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after significant wear.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Ensure laces are tied correctly and check for any loose insoles. Talcum powder under the insole can sometimes help.
