FAQs

Are the ASICS GEL-1130 suitable for running?

While they offer cushioning, the ASICS GEL-1130 are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-impact running. For dedicated running, ASICS recommends specific running shoe models.

What makes the GEL™ technology beneficial?

The GEL™ technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system that absorbs shock effectively, providing a comfortable and stable feel underfoot, especially during walking or standing.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to a standard UK shoe size chart. It's often best to measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the brand's sizing guidelines. Trying them on is ideal if possible.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The materials are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not recommended for heavy rain or wet conditions. Ensure they are dried properly if they get damp.

What is the main inspiration behind the GEL-1130 design?

The design is inspired by the ASICS GEL-1000 series, aiming to blend retro aesthetics with modern comfort and technology.

How often should I clean my ASICS GEL-1130 trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after heavy use or if they become visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning will help maintain their appearance and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size. If new, break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods. Check sock choice, as thicker socks can sometimes alter fit.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL™ technology is designed for longevity, but extreme use may reduce effectiveness. Consider replacing trainers if significant wear is apparent or comfort diminishes.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe parts. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe near the tongue or sole.
