FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-1130 suitable for running marathons?
No, the Gel-1130 are designed primarily for lifestyle wear and offer comfort for daily activities. For marathon running, ASICS offers specialized running shoes with different cushioning and support systems.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping. Trying them on is the best way to confirm fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the GEL™ technology and synthetic leather overlays. Hand clean with a damp cloth instead.
What is the main benefit of the GEL™ technology?
The GEL™ technology is ASICS's signature cushioning system that provides excellent shock absorption, minimizing impact on your joints and offering a comfortable feel with every step.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The ASICS Gel-1130 trainers are not waterproof. They are made from materials like synthetic leather and mesh, which offer breathability but will not protect against significant water exposure.
What does 'retro aesthetics' mean in this context?
It refers to the design elements that are inspired by older, classic shoe styles, in this case, referencing the look and feel of the GEL-1000 series from past ASICS collections.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
Yes, the removable insoles allow for the insertion of custom orthotics or other specialized insoles for added support, provided they fit comfortably within the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing thinner socks or consult sizing charts to ensure the correct size was purchased. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted to provide more room.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL™ technology provides lasting cushioning, but if performance diminishes, consider replacing the shoes after extended use, typically 300-500 miles of walking/running.
Discoloration of the 'Clay Canyon' color
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean gently with a damp cloth as recommended.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components or moisture. Ensure the insoles are properly seated and the shoes are dry.
