Care
To keep your ASICS GEL-1130 sneakers looking their best and prolong their lifespan:
Cleaning the Mesh Upper: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, mix a small amount of mild soap with water, apply with a soft cloth or brush, and gently scrub. Rinse with a damp cloth.
Cleaning Synthetic/Leather Overlays: Wipe down with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner (for leather components) or general sneaker cleaner can be used.
Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and soapy water to remove dirt and maintain grip.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and colors.
