FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Gel-1130 is based on a retro running design, it is primarily intended for casual lifestyle wear and walking rather than intensive long-distance running.
Are the Gel-1130 trainers unisex?
Yes, these trainers are designed as a unisex model suitable for all adults.
How do I maintain the white color?
Regularly wipe the shoes with a damp, soft cloth after use and treat them with a water-repellent spray designed for leather and synthetic sneakers.
What is the Trusstic system?
The Trusstic system is a lightweight plastic component under the arch of the foot that increases stability and prevents the shoe from twisting.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
They generally fit true to standard sizing, though the leather structure may feel more structured compared to knit sneakers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight across the midfoot
Loosen the laces significantly before putting them on and ensure the tongue is centered properly.
Minor scuffs on the silver overlays
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a soft cloth with minimal water to gently buff out surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics Gel-1130 trainers maintain their aesthetic and performance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter intervals during the first week to allow the leather and synthetic overlays to contour to your feet.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the upper. For deeper cleaning, apply a mild soap solution to a cloth and gently wipe the leather and synthetic surfaces. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white material from yellowing or the leather from cracking.
- Sizing: These are standard adult unisex trainers; ensure you select your correct UK size as specified in the product documentation.
