Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS GEL-1130 shoes.
General Cleaning (Mesh): For mesh areas, gently wipe with a damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap. Avoid saturating the material.
Suede Cleaning: For suede overlays, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and scuffs. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner designed for footwear can be applied according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the shoe's structure, materials, and cushioning.
Odor Control: If odors occur, remove insoles (if removable) to air out. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.
