Proper care extends the life and maintains the appearance of your ASICS GEL-1130 trainers.
Cleaning the Upper: For synthetic leather overlays and mesh, gently wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the materials. For stubborn dirt, a soft-bristled brush can be used carefully.
Cleaning the Sole: Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole. A damp cloth can then be used to wipe the sole clean.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as this can warp materials and degrade adhesives.
Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape if storing for extended periods.
