Setting up your ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers is straightforward:
Try Them On: Ensure you've selected the correct UK 5.5 size for an optimal fit. Try them on with the type of socks you'd typically wear.
Lace Adjustment: Adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation, or leaving them too loose, which can lead to instability.
Break-In Period: While generally comfortable out of the box, a short break-in period of light wear can help the trainers conform perfectly to your foot shape.
These trainers are designed for adult males (based on specified attributes) and are compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure apparel. Their versatile aesthetic complements various styles, from sporty to more refined casual looks.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your GEL-1130 Trainers:
Cleaning the Upper: For synthetic leather panels and mesh, gently wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, which can damage materials. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush designed for footwear can be used.
Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soapy water to clean the rubber outsole, removing dirt and debris that can affect traction.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can warp materials or cause adhesives to weaken.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and adhesives of the trainers.
Refresh Interiors: Occasionally remove insoles and air them out to prevent odor buildup. Odor eliminator sprays designed for footwear can also be used.
