Care Instructions:
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your GEL-1130 sneakers:
Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the material.
Laces: Remove laces for separate washing if heavily soiled. You can hand wash them with soap and water.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can warp materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Odor Control: To prevent odors, allow shoes to air out after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Keep them upright to help maintain their shape.
