While based on a 2008 running platform, this version is specifically designed for lifestyle and casual daily wear rather than high-performance distance running.

Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and the adhesive. Please follow the manual cleaning instructions provided.
What materials are used in the construction?
The shoes incorporate leather and various synthetic textiles, maintaining a retro-inspired look and feel.
Is this a unisex shoe?

What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology provides shock absorption specifically in the heel, which significantly increases comfort for walking and standing.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the material retain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Insole slipping or moving
Ensure the insole is properly seated flat in the shoe base, or consider replacing with a slim-profile orthotic if slippage continues.
Stains on fabric/leather
Use a dedicated sneaker cleaner compatible with leather and mesh; avoid using standard household abrasive cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature heritage-inspired materials, consistent maintenance is key to preserving their appearance. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris, and spot-clean the leather and textile surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh detergents. For best performance, ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug, secure fit across the arch of the foot. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or color fading. The GEL-1130 is compatible with most standard neutral or orthotic insoles if additional arch support is needed.
