FAQ
Are they comfortable for walking all day?
Yes, the heel GEL technology and EVA insole make them ideal for extended urban use. Superior comfort compared to lifestyle sneakers without technical cushioning.
How do they fit compared to Nike or Adidas?
Regular Asics fit. If you wear Nike 38, take Asics 38. Wide feet or between sizes: choose the larger size. Consult our Asics collection for other available models.
Is the birch color more beige or grey?
It's a light beige/cream that tends towards soft grey — very versatile for neutral pairings with jeans, leggings, and casual outfits.
Are they suitable for rain?
The mesh upper is not waterproof. We recommend protective spray before first use to withstand occasional light rain.
What's the difference with Gel-Kayano 14?
The Gel-1130 has a simplified design and lower price. The Kayano 14 is more structured and technical. Both feature authentic GEL technology. See also Gel-1130 Wood Crepe Mink colorway for a warmer alternative.
