Care & Maintenance
Proper care will keep your ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers looking and feeling great.
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the breathable mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted in water). Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the material.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soapy water to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators). Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing in damp environments.
- Protection: Consider using a shoe protector spray designed for synthetic and mesh materials to help repel water and stains, especially on the lighter-colored sections.
