Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your ASICS Gel Excite 10 shoes is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure the full lace closure is securely tied to provide a snug yet comfortable fit. Adjust lacing tightness to prevent slippage without creating pressure points.
- Initial Wear: Allow your child to wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in and ensure a comfortable fit before extended use.
Compatibility
- Pronation Type: These shoes are designed for neutral pronation, meaning the foot lands on the outside of the heel and rolls inward slightly to absorb shock efficiently. They may not provide adequate support for significant overpronation or supination.
- Activity: Ideal for various running activities, including track, road running, and light trail use. Also suitable for general active wear and school activities.
- Surfaces: Perform well on hard surfaces like pavement and track, as well as softer natural surfaces.
Care
Proper care extends the life of your ASICS Gel Excite 10 shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. For the outsole, a brush can be used to remove embedded debris.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry your shoes, as this can damage their structure and materials.
