Sizing & fit guide

Our verdict
True to size
The Asics Gel-1130 fits true to size — take your normal Asics size. Asics sizing is consistent across the line; the 1130 runs medium width, and wide-foot wearers should use the wide (2E) version rather than sizing up.

Why the Asics Gel-1130 fits this way

The Asics Gel-1130 — the Y2K-era retro-runner that became a lifestyle staple — fits true to size, consistent with Asics's reliable, stable sizing. Direct Gel-1130 sizing posts are limited, so the verdict leans on Asics line consistency: wearers report keeping the same Asics number across models and over many years, and the 1130 follows that pattern.

The 1130 shares the GEL-cushioned, mesh-and-synthetic-overlay construction of Asics's running heritage, giving a secure, slightly structured fit at true size. Width is medium; the engineered upper conforms to the foot without excess room. Standard feet are comfortable at their normal Asics size.

As with the rest of the Asics line, wide widths are available, so wide-foot wearers should buy the wide (2E) version at true size rather than sizing up the standard width. Between-sizes wearers can round up and use an insole, the common Asics strategy. Net: true to size for standard feet; wide version for wide feet. Confidence is low given the sparse direct evidence; check a recent review if you're between sizes.

Common scenarios

I wear US 10 in Asics. What size Gel-1130?

US 10 — the Gel-1130 fits true to size on Asics's consistent sizing. Keep your normal Asics number.

Does the 1130 fit like the Gel-Kayano?

Yes — both true to size on the Asics last. The 1130 is a retro-runner; the Kayano is a stability silhouette, but the sizing is the same.

I have wide feet. Should I size up?

No — buy the wide (2E) Gel-1130 at true size rather than sizing up the standard width.
