Getting started with your ASICS Gel-1130 Trainers is straightforward. Proper care will ensure their longevity and sustained performance.
Lacing for Fit: Utilize the secure lace-up fastening to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure laces are firm enough to prevent foot movement within the shoe but not so tight as to cause pressure points or restrict circulation.
Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow a short break-in period (a few short walks or light jogs) for the trainers to fully conform to your foot's unique shape.
Activity: These trainers are designed for versatile use, including road running, treadmill workouts, gym sessions, and casual everyday wear.
Foot Type: The balanced cushioning and stability features make them suitable for a wide range of foot types, though individuals with severe overpronation or supination might consult a specialist for tailored advice.
Sizing: Available in UK 10 for adult males. Always refer to ASICS' official sizing guide for the most accurate fit if you're unsure of your size, as shoe sizing can vary.
Regular care helps maintain the appearance and performance of your trainers.
Cleaning:
Remove Loose Dirt: Brush off any loose dirt or mud with a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well).
Spot Clean: For suede and leather sections, use a specialized suede/leather cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth. Gently wipe the affected area. For mesh, use a damp cloth with mild soap.
Insoles: Remove insoles and wash them separately by hand with warm, soapy water. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as these can cause materials to crack or shrink.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing with newspaper can help maintain their shape.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow the shoes to air out. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside can also help absorb moisture and neutralize smells.
