Getting started with your ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers is simple:
Unbox: Carefully remove your new trainers from their packaging.
Lace Up: Use the full lace fastening to secure the trainers on your feet. Ensure the laces are snug but not too tight, allowing for natural foot movement.
Adjust for Fit: Walk around to assess the fit. Your toes should have a small amount of space at the front, and your heel should feel secure without slipping.
These trainers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of activities and styles:
Athletic Pursuits: Ideal for light running, gym workouts, walking, and general fitness activities.
Everyday Wear: Their comfortable design and stylish aesthetic make them perfect for daily errands, casual outings, and lifestyle fashion.
Surface Compatibility: The rubber outsole provides good traction on urban pavements, indoor gym floors, and light outdoor trails.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your trainers:
Cleaning the Upper: For mesh and synthetic surfaces, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Cleaning the Outsole: Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from the rubber sole.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), as these can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Odour Control: If odours develop, remove insoles and air them out. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda can also be used inside the trainers.
Avoid Washing Machine: Do not put your trainers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage their structure and materials.
