Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on leather surface

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; allow to air dry completely.

Laces coming untied frequently

Double-knot the laces or ensure they are pulled evenly through the eyelets for consistent tension.

Creasing in the leather

This is a natural occurrence in leather shoes; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ASICS GEL-1130 trainers last as long as possible, adhere to these simple maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For leather care, use a gentle leather cleaner specifically formulated for footwear.
  2. Drying: Always let shoes air dry at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in the dryer, as this can crack the leather and damage the glue bonds.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Compatibility: These are unisex trainers that fit true to size. Ensure you select the appropriate UK adult sizing as indicated on the tongue or original packaging.
