Verdict

The ASICS Gel-1130 is a solid performer — a heritage running scoring 80/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 320g, it is moderately heavy for a heritage running. The 22mm heel stack — a minimal stack — delivers a firm ride at 38 HC, returning 45% of impact energy and feeling cushion-focused rather than reactive underfoot. Geometrically, the Gel-1130 runs on a mid 10mm drop that works with most running gaits, with a 12mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 90mm — medium-width, comfortable for most foot shapes — and the upper comes in a standard width. Slightly narrow. Half size up for comfort. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for casual wear, street style, asics fans, retro look, and performs less well for running or wide feet.
