Product Insights
The Asics Cream And Chocolate Gel-1130 Sneakers Women ($140 CAD, in stock) offer buyers a daily-walking and casual-wear shoe that ranks among the most comfortable sneakers, outshining the New Balance 2002r and Kayano 14, by combining rearfoot GEL silicone cushioning (a technology lineage from the 1986 GT-II), an OrthoLite insole that compresses less than 5% and wicks moisture, and a TRUSSTIC arch bridge from the 2008 Kayano 14 for stability and posture support. The design heritage draws from Kayano 14 and Gel-1000, revived as a fashion silhouette through Kiko Kostadinov's UB2-S collaboration, but tradeoffs include a tongue that frequently digs into the shin (across all sizes), leather overlays that trap heat, a glued-on plastic heel panel hiding the real GEL, and the need for a half-size-up for wider feet. Despite these compromises, the shoe delivers Kayano 14 technology at a lower price, with a removable machine-washable footbed and odor-resistant open-cell foam.

User finds Gel-1130 the most comfortable compared to many New Balance 99x series
1130’s are probably the most comfy shoe I have right now. And that’s with a lot of NB’s 99x’s and such.

User points out that the Gel-1130's visible rear panel is decorative plastic, not exposed gel
Asics stretches the meaning of "Y2K" alot These originally came out in 2011...long, long, long after the Y2K era of the late 90s and early 2000s I like these alot, I just noticed that when I bought my pair that they didnt have exposed gel pods From the pictures it looks like a gel pod but in person its just a hard plastic panel thats glued onto the midsole

User says Gel-1130 comfort is unmatched compared to NB, Kayano 14, and Vomero
Comfort is very good, especially for that price.....i wear mine as my dailys, I also have NB 2002r, NB 1906r, Kayano 14 and Nike Vomero plus but theres no comparison comfort wise
