Does the Gel-1130 fit true to size?

Most owners say it fits true to size. If you have wide feet, many suggest going up half a size because the toe box runs narrow.

Is the Gel-1130 good for running?

It can handle light jogging, but it is a heavier retro trainer. Most people buy it for walking and everyday wear rather than regular running.

How does it compare with the Gel-Kayano 14?

Both share the early-2000s look and GEL cushioning. The Gel-1130 has a simpler mesh and synthetic upper and a firmer ride, while the Kayano 14 has more overlays and softer cushioning.

What cushioning does it use?

It has GEL cushioning in the heel and a TRUSSTIC support system under the midfoot, with a rubber outsole for traction.

Is it breathable in summer?

The mesh helps, but the synthetic overlays make it warmer than knit sneakers. Some owners avoid it on the hottest days.

Our take on the ASICS Gel-1130 "Pink Cloud"

The ASICS Gel-1130 is a running shoe from the early 2000s that ASICS brought back as a lifestyle sneaker. It pairs a mesh and synthetic upper with GEL cushioning in the heel and a TRUSSTIC support system under the midfoot. It suits people who want a retro-tech look with real running-shoe comfort for everyday wear. Against modern knit runners it is heavier and less breathable, but it offers more structure and a firmer, more stable ride than many lifestyle rivals.
