The ASICS GEL-1130 trainer is designed for adults seeking a harmonious blend of retro running aesthetics and modern comfort for daily wear. Its primary advantage is providing reliable, all-day support and cushioning, making it a dependable choice for various casual activities.

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your GEL-1130 trainers:
Cleaning the Upper (Mesh & Synthetics):
Gently brush off any loose dirt or debris with a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush).
Mix a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) with warm water.
Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the soapy water, wring out excess liquid, and gently wipe down the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid saturating the material.
Wipe clean with a separate damp cloth (water only) to remove soap residue.
Air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like hair dryers or place in direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Cleaning the Outsole: Scrub the rubber outsole with a brush and soapy water to remove dirt and grime. Rinse thoroughly with water.
Insoles: Remove insoles periodically and air them out to prevent odors. If necessary, hand wash them with mild soap and water, then air dry.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them lightly with paper can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not put your trainers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning.
