Getting started with your ASICS GEL-1130 trainers is simple. The primary 'setup' involves ensuring a correct and comfortable fit.
Fit Check: Confirm the UK 4 size is appropriate for your foot, allowing a small space at the toe and a snug, but not tight, feel around the midfoot.
Lacing Adjustment: Customize the lacing tension to achieve a secure fit without creating pressure points. Your foot should feel stable, not constricted.
Initial Wear: For the first few wears, consider shorter durations to allow the shoe to naturally conform to your foot's unique shape.
Age Group: Adult.
Gender: Specifically designed for females (for this variant: Clay Grey/Pure Silver, UK 4).
Usage: Best suited for casual wear, lifestyle activities, and light athletic pursuits.
Proper maintenance is key to preserving the appearance and extending the lifespan of your ASICS GEL-1130 trainers, especially with their mixed material construction.
Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For scuffs or minor stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water, as it can damage suede texture.
Cleaning Mesh & Synthetic Leather: Prepare a solution of mild soap and cool water. Lightly dampen a soft cloth or sponge and gently wipe down mesh and synthetic leather areas. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove any soap residue.
Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct sunlight, heaters, or any artificial heat sources, which can cause material damage or deformation.
Odor Management: To prevent odors, remove insoles after wear to let them air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda inside socks within the shoes overnight.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. Stuffing them with crumpled paper or using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
