Using your ASICS Sportstyle GEL-1130 Trainers is straightforward:
Lacing: Ensure the secure lace-up fastening is adjusted to provide a snug, yet comfortable fit. Avoid lacing too tightly, which can restrict blood flow, or too loosely, which can lead to instability.
Break-In Period: While comfortable from the start, allow for a brief break-in period, typically a few short runs, for the shoe to fully adapt to your foot's unique contours.
Age Group: Designed for adults.
Gender: Primarily marketed as 'Male', but the style and fit are often suitable for all genders.
Activities: Ideal for running (treadmill, pavement, jogging) and casual daily wear.
Size: Available in UK 7 (and other variants). Always check the ASICS sizing guide for the best fit.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your trainers:
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For the suede paneling and leather overlays, use a specialized suede/leather cleaner and brush. For mesh underlays, a mild soap solution and soft cloth are suitable. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials and adhesives.
Odor Control: Remove insoles occasionally to air out. Consider using shoe deodorizers if needed.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Stuffing with paper can help maintain their shape.
Sock Liner: The sock liner features a water-saving, reduced carbon emission dyeing process. While beneficial for the environment, regular cleaning of the sock liner itself (if removable) helps maintain hygiene.
