Getting started with your ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers is straightforward:
Unbox: Carefully remove your trainers from their packaging.
Lacing: Adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit around your foot. Ensure they are tied securely to prevent slipping and provide optimal support.

Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the appearance of your white ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers:
Regular Cleaning: For the synthetic leather overlays and rubber outsole, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing brushes as these can damage the materials.
Stubborn Stains: For more persistent marks, a shoe cleaner specifically designed for synthetic materials can be used, following the product's instructions. A soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can help with intricate areas.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources such as radiators, hair dryers, or tumble dryers, as this can cause materials to shrink, crack, or warp.
Insole Maintenance: Periodically remove the insoles to air them out, which helps prevent odor buildup. If needed, the insoles can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and air-dried.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation.
Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for synthetic footwear to help repel water and prevent stains, especially given the white colour.
