Getting started with your ASICS Gel-1130 shoes is straightforward:
Sizing: Ensure you have selected the correct UK size 10 for optimal fit.
Lacing: Lace them up comfortably, not too tight or too loose, allowing for natural foot movement.
Break-in Period: While generally comfortable from the start, a short break-in period may help the leather conform better to your foot.
These sneakers are compatible with a wide range of casual clothing styles for men. They are designed for everyday wear and do not require specific equipment compatibility.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS Gel-1130 sneakers.
Cleaning the Leather: Regularly wipe down the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild leather cleaner specifically designed for sneakers.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as this can dry out and damage the leather.
Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This can help repel water and stains.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather and color.
