FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-1130 suitable for running?

The Gel-1130 are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, offering good cushioning for walking and everyday activities. For dedicated running or high-impact sports, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models that provide more targeted support and performance features.

How do I clean the White and Clay Canyon colorway?

To clean, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher spots, a small amount of mild soap can be used with the cloth, followed by a clean damp cloth to remove residue. Always air dry away from heat.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

These trainers are versatile. You can wear them with standard athletic socks, casual socks, or even no-show socks depending on your outfit and preference. Ensure the socks provide adequate comfort and fit with the shoe.

How does the GEL™ technology work?

The GEL™ technology in the midsole of ASICS shoes is designed to absorb shock. It consists of a silicone-based material that effectively cushions impact and disperses stress, providing a comfortable and stable feel.

What is the inspiration behind the Gel-1130 series?

The Gel-1130 draws inspiration from ASICS' heritage, specifically referencing the aesthetics and comfort technologies found in the GEL-1000 series, blending retro design elements with modern shoe construction.

Are these shoes good for standing all day?

Yes, the Gel-1130 are designed with all-day cushioning and GEL™ technology to provide comfort for extended periods of standing and walking.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot. Ensure you are trying them on with the type of socks you would typically wear. If the size is borderline, consider the next half size up for more room.

Discomfort during wear

Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Ensure laces are tied appropriately – not too tight, not too loose. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.

Reduced cushioning over time

While GEL™ technology is durable, cushioning can diminish with extensive use. For prolonged comfort, consider replacing them after significant wear or if you notice a loss in shock absorption.

Appearance issues with dirt

Follow the recommended cleaning instructions using a damp cloth and mild soap. Address stains promptly to prevent them from setting.
