Brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth for general cleaning. For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush or cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat.
GEL technology is ASICS' signature cushioning system. In the GEL-1130, it's strategically placed in the heel to absorb shock during impact, providing excellent comfort and reducing stress on your joints.
The TRUSSTIC support system is a midfoot component designed to improve stability. It reinforces the middle part of the sole, preventing excessive twisting and providing a more controlled and supportive feel during movement.
