Care:
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your GEL-1130 shoes, especially given the mixed materials:
- Cleaning the Mesh: Use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of mild soap (like diluted dish soap) and lukewarm water. Gently scrub mesh areas to remove dirt and grime.
- Cleaning the Suede: For suede sections, use a specialized dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a damp cloth with a specialized suede cleaner (following the product instructions) should be used. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators) or direct sunlight, which can damage materials or cause discoloration. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Odor Control: After use, remove insoles to air out the shoes. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain freshness.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve their materials and shape.
