Setup:
Unboxing: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
Lacing: Ensure laces are properly threaded through all eyelets and tied securely, but not too tightly, to allow for natural foot movement.
Break-in Period: For optimal comfort, wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot's unique shape. The suede and leather components may feel slightly stiff at first.
Compatibility:
The Gel-1130 Trainers are highly versatile, compatible with a wide range of casual and athletic apparel.
They pair well with jeans, chinos, shorts, tracksuits, and activewear, making them suitable for urban environments, casual social events, and light fitness activities.
Care:
Cleaning Mesh: Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to gently scrub mesh areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Cleaning Suede/Leather: For suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap, then wipe dry.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer.
Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray, especially for the suede components, to protect against elements.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve material integrity and color.
