Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your GEL-1130 trainers:
- Cleaning: Due to the mesh and synthetic leather upper, clean with a soft brush or cloth. Use a mild soap and water solution for tougher stains. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and allow them to air out. Baking soda can be sprinkled inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can cause damage to the materials and structure.
