Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting your child ready to go in their ASICS GEL-1130 PS is straightforward:
- Open Lacing: Loosen the laces completely to create ample room for the foot.
- Insert Foot: Guide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is comfortably seated at the back.
- Adjust Laces: Pull the laces snugly but not too tightly, ensuring a secure fit without causing discomfort. Teach your child how to tie a double knot to prevent laces from coming undone during play.
- Check Fit: Ensure there's a thumb's width of space between your child's longest toe and the end of the shoe. The padded collar should feel supportive around the ankle, not restrictive.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for:
- Age Group: Kids (specifically 'PS' for preschool/primary school age).
- Gender: Unisex design, suitable for both boys and girls.
- Activities: Ideal for everyday wear, running, playing, and general active use.

Care
Proper care will help extend the life and appearance of your ASICS GEL-1130 PS shoes:
- Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub the textile and synthetic upper. Wipe clean with a separate damp cloth.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, especially on the white areas, a shoe cleaner specifically designed for athletic shoes can be used.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Avoid Washing Machines: Do not put these shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as it can damage the cushioning, glues, and overall structure.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
