Product Information
Full details
These ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are designed for children seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for everyday wear. The key benefit is the combination of GEL cushioning for impact absorption and a TRUSSTIC support system for stability, ensuring comfort throughout the day. A minor caveat is that the design, inspired by late 2000s aesthetics, might not suit all fashion preferences. Key features include a breathable mesh and synthetic overlay upper, GEL technology for cushioning, a TRUSSTIC support system, and a durable rubber outsole for grip.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GEL-1130 trainers are designed for everyday wear and light athletic activities. While they offer good cushioning and support, they may not provide the specialized features required for intense or competitive running.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the end of the shoe when they are standing. The heel should not slip excessively, and the width should be comfortable without being too tight.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash trainers, as this can damage the adhesives, cushioning, and materials. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is a molded component located in the midfoot area of the shoe. It helps to increase stability and torsional rigidity, preventing unwanted twisting of the foot.
How often should I check my child's shoe size?
Children's feet can grow quickly. It's recommended to check their shoe size at least every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you notice signs of discomfort or ill-fitting shoes.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Yes, the ASICS GEL-1130 series is available in a variety of color combinations to suit different preferences. Please check the available product listings for specific color options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted to provide a snug but not constricting fit. Check that the correct size has been selected, as children's feet grow rapidly. Try wearing them with the intended type of socks.
Traction is poor on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole provides grip, but performance can vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris that might impede traction.
Materials seem stiff initially
New shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as the materials flex and conform to the foot.
Shoes appear to be wearing out quickly
Inspect for signs of excessive wear in specific areas. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (daily wear, light activity) and not for demanding sports that could cause premature wear.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: A damp cloth is usually sufficient. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.

- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
