FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, the ASICS GT-1000 14 PS trainers feature GEL technology for shock absorption and a lightweight design, making them suitable for running and general athletic activities for preschoolers.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
It's recommended to measure your child's feet and use the size checker printed on the sockliner. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, we do not recommend machine washing or tumble drying these trainers. Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and air dry away from heat.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?
The GEL technology is placed in the heel to provide excellent cushioning and absorb shock, reducing impact on young feet during movement.
Are the materials used environmentally friendly?
Yes, at least 75% of the main upper material is made with recycled content, and the sockliner is produced using a water-saving dyeing process, reducing waste and carbon emissions.
What age group are these shoes intended for?
These are 'Pre-School' (PS) trainers, typically designed for children in that age and developmental stage.
How durable are the toe areas?
The shoes feature a medial forefoot wrap-up outsole and toe rubber stitching specifically designed to improve durability and withstand wear during play.
Troubleshooting
Shoes appear too small or large.
Use the size checker on the sockliner or consult ASICS sizing charts. Ensure the heel is snug and there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Child experiences discomfort or rubbing.
Check that the shoes are laced or strapped correctly. Ensure the correct size has been chosen and that the socks worn are appropriate. Break-in period may be needed for new shoes.
Tread wear seems excessive.
Inspect the outsole for signs of uneven wear. If wear is concentrated in one area, consider if the child's gait may need assessment. For normal wear and tear on high-impact areas, this is expected for active children.
Difficulty closing the hook-and-loop straps.
Ensure the straps are free of debris (dirt, sand). If the hook-and-loop material has lost some grip, try cleaning it gently with a stiff brush.
