Full details
The ASICS GT-1000 13 PS (pre-school) trainers are designed for young children needing a versatile and durable shoe for various activities. They offer improved underfoot cushioning for comfort and energy return, along with enhanced durability features. A potential consideration is the hook and loop closure, which, while supportive, might be less secure than traditional laces for very active children. Key features include GEL technology for cushioning, medial forefoot wrap-up outsole, and toe rubber stitching for durability.

FAQs
What age group are these shoes designed for?
These are pre-school (PS) shoes, designed for younger children.
How do I clean the ASICS GT-1000 13 PS trainers?
Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
They are designed for general wear and light athletic activities. For intense or specialized sports, performance-specific footwear may be more appropriate.
What is the main benefit of the hook and loop closure?
The hook and loop closure makes the shoes easy for children to put on and take off independently, while providing a secure and adjustable fit.
How does the GEL technology help?
The GEL technology integrated into the sole provides excellent shock absorption, cushioning impact and offering comfort during movement.
How can I ensure the best fit for my child?
Measure your child's feet regularly as they grow. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe when trying them on.
What makes these trainers durable?
The trainers feature a medial forefoot wrap-up outsole and toe rubber stitching, which are specifically designed to enhance durability and withstand wear and tear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the hook and loop straps are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Check if the size is appropriate for the child's current foot measurement.
Hook and loop fastener not sticking well
Clean the hook and loop surfaces with a small brush to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the material is not excessively worn.
Sole or stitching showing signs of wear
Inspect for damage. For minor wear, ensure the shoe is cleaned and dried properly. Significant wear may indicate the need for replacement.
Difficulty putting the shoe on
Ensure the hook and loop straps are fully released before attempting to slide the foot in. Loosen the straps as much as possible.
