Whether it was walking around town, going to work, strolling in the park, or even running to catch a bus, the Gel 1130 always met our expectations and requirements! This dad shoe from ASICS will stay by your side for the whole day, helping your feet stay comfortable and stable. Its supportive structure is no joke, and it faced every surface we walked on bravely, so forget about slipping! Talking about that, heel slippage wasn't an issue either, as foothold is one of its top priorities. It might be a little bit too rigid for some, though. All in all, we believe you should get it if you're looking for a retro-styled model zapatillas de running ASICS mixta naranjas.

Who should NOT buy

Honestly, we didn't find many negative points in this shoe!

Despite having it endure our tough and hard wear and lab tests, it performed brilliantly. The only thing we can say is that this leather version it's definitely not a breathable pair, so if you wear it in the summer, your feet will (almost literally) be on fire. If you're looking for a well-ventilated pal for hot days in town and you're a big ASICS fan, we believe you should have a look at the ASICS Gel Lyte III.

If you need something more flexible but you don't want to give up on high-quality materials (and you don't mind changing brands again), Nike has got your back. The Air Max 2090 is a toughie with an Air Unit. Even though it's pricey, we believe it's totally worth a try. If you actually don't mind the materials that much and just want something flexible and affordable, in New Balance we trust. Have a look at the NB 480!

Breathability

Asics подростковые кроссовки в отличном сос.

The name ASICS was created as an acronym from a very famous Latin phrase that goes: "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano". This basically means a healthy mind in a healthy body, but... what about healthy feet?

Well, the Gel 1130 is a good example if we're talking about healthy feet... during winter. Wanna see why?

Because they won't be able to breathe in the summer! The comparison with the PUMA RS-X (on the right) is almost cruel. It earned a 4/5 in our breathability test, as you can see all the smoke coming out of it in the video. The Gel 1130? A 2/5, and just because of its tongue area. We can't see a lot of fume, but it's a steady flow, so we just couldn't give it our lowest grade.

When we put the shoe in front of our bright light, it didn't even let a single bit of it come through! This means this ASICS doesn't have any ventilation holes or gaps. Should we have a closer look at the material and see what's up?

Женские лосины леггинсы тайтсы asics asics stripe tight Breathability_3

It's leather, and leather sneakers usually don't perform very well in this test.

Женские лосины леггинсы тайтсы asics asics stripe tight Breathability_4

See, the only moment where we'll possibly get a gap in this material is when we break it. And that's definitely a no-no.

If you're looking for a breathable pair designed using leather and you're a big fan of ASICS, we think you should have a look at the ASICS Gel Lyte III.

Durability

Leather/Suede quality

There are some materials that are naturally more resistant to our flames. Well, Gel 1130... it's time to get hot! (And no, we don't mean you making our feet toasty).

To determine the authenticity of the suede and leather material used on its upper, we grabbed our torch and got ready for action.

We started with the tongue, and wow! Burn baby, burn. Its materials are fake/synthetic.

Test: Failed!

Now the middle part and the logo. We removed the burnt part with our awl, and the leather was fairly intact.

Test: Passed!

And last but not least, the back. Just like in the previous section, the material put up a fight. Both these parts are authentic.

Test: Passed!

Toebox durability

Low breathability usually means high durability. Come on, Женские лосины леггинсы тайтсы asics asics stripe tight, don't disappoint us!

We took our Dremel and started battling the toebox. After the longest 12 seconds of its life, the damage was not as dramatic as it seems in the video. Look!

Женские лосины леггинсы тайтсы asics asics stripe tight Toebox durability_7

Like, of course you can see it. But... does it actually alter the shoe's integrity or performance? We're more than happy to say it doesn't! With a 4 out of 5, the toebox has won this battle.

Yet... it's too early to say the Gel 1130 has won the war! Our Dremel is still up for some more fights. Stay tuned!

We're not gonna lie, we were scared here. You see, the heel is one of the most delicate parts of a shoe, and... you know what they say: "A masterly retreat is in itself a victory".

Yet, none of its running shoe past was useful to run away from its responsibility. Gel 1130, you need to face our Dremel again!

Given its upper's great result regarding durability, we were expecting a good score here. And we weren't wrong!

Женские лосины леггинсы тайтсы asics asics stripe tight р asics gel nimbus 16_9

You can barely see the damage in the shoe, hooray! Such resistance has earned this ASICS an outstanding 4/5 in heel padding durability.

Outsole hardness

When we want to check the outsole hardness of a shoe, we grab our durometer and press it against the pair's bottom. At 84.9 HC, this ASICS got a pretty average score.

Whenever we get a result pretty close to the average, we can't help but smile. Why? Because this means that the outsole offers a great mix of durability and grip!

Here we go again. Dremel time!

Don't worry, Gel 1130, this is your last fight. You've won every battle so far, so... who's saying you can't win the war?

The 22 seconds of suffering were completely worth it, as this shoe's outsole is as durable as everything else.

Женские лосины леггинсы тайтсы asics asics stripe tight Outsole durability_11

It looks like the damage is playing hide and seek, right? At 0.9 mm, our tread gauge told us this pair is just as durable as the average of our lab-tested sneakers, which is great news!

Alright, ASICS, you're the queen of the durability kingdom once again! But... what other territories have you conquered? Let's find out!

Outsole thickness

Oh, oh boy. Right, at 4.7 mm, our caliper would say "thinner than average" if it could talk about this shoe's outsole.

Женские лосины леггинсы тайтсы asics asics stripe tight Outsole thickness_12

This could be worrying, as less material to wear out usually means a shorter lifespan for shoes. Nevertheless, this pair's outsole is hard and durable, which means it'll last a long time.

Question time: Is this a very intelligent design choice to reduce the overall weight of the shoe?

Think about your tally before you read the next section!

Weight

Reducing the amount of material used in the outsole is bound to make the shoe lighter. At the same time, picking a hard rubber makes up for the thinner layer, not risking the pair's durability.

As many parts of this ASICS are durable, we expected it to be on the heavier side. But... what if it follows the previous formula? So, less amount of material, but harder or more resistant? Would this make the shoe uncomfortable?

Wait, wait, let's not beat around the bush. We're here to talk about the Gel 1130's weight!

Женские лосины леггинсы тайтсы asics asics stripe tight Weight_32

At 12.9 oz (366.0 g), our scale told us clearly that this model is fairly lighter than average! So, we were wrong about the "durable means heavy" hypothesis, but... not so much about the "less amount of materials but more resistant ones"!

We're more than happy to announce that this model is 9% lighter than average!

Женские лосины леггинсы тайтсы asics asics stripe tight_016

We definitely felt it in our feet when we were walking around town. Even though we couldn't feel the breeze in our feet, this ASICS treated us to a breezy ride! We could enjoy it for hours as long as it was not too hot.

Cushioning

Heel stack

Just by having a look at it, you must've most likely guessed this shoe's midsole is just as thick as the average for sneakers.

Женские лосины леггинсы тайтсы asics asics stripe tight_019

But this is not necessarily a bad thing, though! The heel proved to have the right amount of cushioning to keep us going all day long. Even though it's not one of those chunky platform sneakers, that doesn't mean this ASICS is not comfortable. In fact, after our wear test, we completely agreed on it: it's incredibly comfy and supportive!

We grabbed our caliper to put our thoughts into numbers, and it showed 32.3 mm.

With a slightly higher forefoot stack (at 22.3 mm) than average, this pair keeps things cozy.

This shoe doesn't have a high stack at the forefoot, and it's not that big on the heel either. That's why its drop is normal for a sneaker: 10.0 mm according to our calculations.

You can see it clearly in the picture above. There's not a big difference between either of those parts, which means this pair won't feel weird or different when you put it on for the first time. So, yeah, don't worry, we didn't have to get used to it or anything in our wear tests, so neither will you when you try it!

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

The plushness and softness of this ASICS' midsole made us daydream every time we walked around town. It didn't matter if we were just hanging out with friends, doing some shopping, running errands... All we could think about was: "Oh my, so so comfy!".

At 19.0 HA, our durometer agreed with us. The midsole of this pair is an incredibly 64% softer than average! That's why our feet were on cloud 9, cause they were actually walking on clouds!

Asics Gel Lyte 3 Haters ymor80 2014 | Insole thickness

The removable (spoiler!) insole of this pair didn't make us feel anything different. This was neither good nor bad, it just means that it was comfortable and that it did what it had to do.

At 5.3 mm, it's as thick as the average. Honestly, we did expect something like this, so no surprises here!

Женские лосины леггинсы тайтсы asics asics stripe tight Insole thickness_18

As a curious fact that we believe you should know, according to the official website, the sockliner of this shoe is produced with the solution dyeing process. It reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to the conventional dyeing technology.

We love it when brands get invested in becoming more green!! It's great news not only for you and for us, but for our planet too.

Stability

Lateral stability test

Stability? Oh, please. For such resistant and supportive shoes, being stable is a piece of cake!

Just by watching the video you'll most likely know, but we'll say it anyway: the Gel 1130 used to be a running stability shoe! This means its whole design focuses on you not losing your balance.

Женские лосины леггинсы тайтсы asics asics stripe tight_012

After our lab tests, we found out that it keeps and features the TRUSSTIC™ support system. This technology helped runners of the late 2000s improve their stability.

Torsional rigidity

Listen, if a shoe focuses on stability, then... it's gonna be rigid.

We twisted, bent, and squeezed the Gel 1130, and our hands actually had a hard time doing so. Check this out!

Our fingers were struggling there, no kidding... So we gave it a well-deserved 4 out of 5 in our torsional rigidity test.

But before we go on, let us clarify something. When we say something is rigid, we usually think about it as uncomfortable, right? Like, the opposite of soft and plushy. Yet, that's not necessarily the case! Even though this shoe is rigid, our feet felt extremely happy when we put it on. This is just one more reason why we believe it's crucial to perform multiple lab tests, as well as wearability tests, on every shoe.

Once again, the heel is the main character of our Breaking Point play.

We've said this shoe is stable and rigid, right? And the heel padding put up a good fight (and even won) against our Dremel, right? And stiff shoes are usually harsh on our feet, right?

This time, the S in ASICS stood for: "SCARED". Cause that's what we were.

But then, when we grabbed the shoe, we could feel a sigh of relief leaving our body. During our manual test, the heel counter did give in more than we expected. Honestly, we thought it would score another 4 or even 5 out of 5. But happily, we were wrong!

It's slightly pliable, so it earned a marvelous 3/5. This means no blisters, no uncomfortable rubbing, and no pain walking!

At 30.1N, the Gel 1130 goes all the way up to 27% less flexible than the average!

Still, this wasn't a problem for us. We still found this shoe comfortable in our walks, it's just that... it doesn't bend with your feet easily. If you want a flexible and supportive shoe, we believe you should have a look at the New Balance 480. It's also ready for winter, and it has that cool retro style.

The traction of this ASICS is no joke, and we could enjoy it ALL. DAY. LONG.

In this picture, you can see clearly that the rear and the front of the foot are separated. These two parts feature the Gel technology, as the brand strategically places it where it works best. At the back, it dampens impacts; at the front, it improves cushioning.

With our caliper telling us that this shoe is 102.4 mm wide in the widest part of the toebox, our standard-sized feet felt comfy and welcomed. That's what being "wider than average" is all about!

There are many brands that go for a thinner tongue in order to reduce the overall weight of the shoe, so we were in awe when we measured this ASICS' tongue padding!

Женские лосины леггинсы тайтсы asics asics stripe tight Tongue padding_29

At 11.2 mm, it's thicker than most sneakers. But... is it the only extra padded part of these kicks?

Of course not!

As you can see in the video, it's not just the tongue that is plush, so are the collar area and the heel! But it wasn't just us who loved this, our feet felt exactly the same. Even though this compromises breathability and, unavoidably, adds some weight to the shoe (even though this was NOT a problem in this model), it also enhances comfort.

Женские лосины леггинсы тайтсы asics asics stripe tight_024

In other words, forget about having to break-in the shoe or getting uncomfortable rubs here and there. This pair is happy to keep you on your feet not only stability-wise, but also because of its comfyness!
