FAQs

What activities are these shoes best for?

The ASICS Gel-Excite 10 GS sneakers are versatile and best suited for general athletic activities, school wear, playground activities, light running, and everyday casual use for active children.

How do I ensure the correct size for my child?

It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the official ASICS size chart. Always ensure there is about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning properties of the shoe. Please follow the detailed care instructions for cleaning.

What does 'GS' stand for in the product name?

'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School', indicating that these sneakers are designed and sized specifically for children in the elementary school age range.

Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, thanks to their breathable mesh upper and improved impact absorption, these sneakers are designed for comfort and support during extended periods of wear throughout active days.

How durable are the soles?

The sturdy rubber sole is designed for durability and resilience against typical wear and tear from active children, providing good traction and longevity. The rubber stitching on the front further enhances this durability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub.

Ensure the correct size has been selected by measuring your child's foot. Wear appropriate athletic socks, and allow a short break-in period for the shoes to conform to the foot.

Soles seem to be wearing out quickly.

Regularly inspect the soles for wear. While durable, very intense and frequent activity on rough surfaces can accelerate wear. Consider rotating with other shoes if your child is exceptionally active.

Shoes get dirty easily and are hard to clean.

The mesh upper is breathable but can attract dirt. Follow the care instructions diligently: gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the rubber sole, use a soft brush. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage materials.

Lack of grip on certain surfaces.

Regularly check the rubber sole for embedded debris (small stones, mud) that might reduce traction. Clean the sole thoroughly as per care instructions to maintain its grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your ASICS Gel-Excite 10 GS sneakers require no complex setup. Simply ensure your child wears appropriate socks and adjusts the laces for a snug, comfortable, and secure fit. Always check that there is adequate wiggle room for toes to prevent discomfort.

Compatibility

Care

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the breathable mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and stains. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a little mild soap to clean the sturdy rubber sole. Rinse with a damp cloth.
  • Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Maintenance: Regularly check for debris (like small stones) stuck in the sole's tread and remove them to maintain optimal grip. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
