Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your child's ASICS GEL-1130 trainers is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets.
- Fit Adjustment: Have your child try on the shoes with their usual socks. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug, secure fit without being too tight. There should be a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Compatibility
- Age Group: Designed specifically for kids, suitable for toddlers and younger children.
- Gender: These are unisex trainers, appropriate for all children.
- Activities: Ideal for general daily wear, school, playground activities, and light recreational sports. They are not specialized performance shoes for competitive athletics.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the appearance of the GEL-1130 trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently scrub any dirt from the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
- Cleaning the Outsole: A stiff brush can be used to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
- Drying: Air dry shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Washing Machine: It is generally not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the cushioning and adhesive.
