Full details

The ASICS GEL-1000 trainers in White/Red Snapper are designed for infants who need a blend of retro style and modern comfort for everyday wear and light activity. They offer excellent cushioning and support thanks to the GEL technology, with a breathable upper for all-day wear. A potential consideration is that while they are inspired by running shoes, they are best suited for casual use rather than intense athletic training.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes and featuring GEL cushioning, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear, walking, and light play. They are not intended for intense athletic training.

What materials are the shoes made from?

The upper is made from a combination of synthetic leather and textile material. The outsole is made of rubber. The product is also partially made from recycled materials.

How do I clean the GEL cushioning?

The GEL cushioning is part of the midsole. You can clean it by wiping the area with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid submerging the shoe in water.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the shoes are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for ventilation, which means they are not resistant to water.

What does 'GS' mean in ASICS shoe models?

'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that the shoe is sized for younger children. However, this specific product description mentions 'infant' and 'kids' sizing, suggesting a range of younger age groups.

How can I tell if I have the right size?

There should be a little room (about a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should not slip excessively when walking. Refer to the ASICS sizing guide for detailed measurements.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning system. Hand-cleaning as described in the care section is the preferred method.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the classic lace-up closure to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the correct size was purchased, referring to sizing charts if necessary.

Discoloration on the white upper.

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, a specialized shoe cleaner for leather and textile might be needed, used sparingly.

Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the shoe has been heavily worn, the outsole's grip may naturally diminish over time.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic leather and textile parts with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt from the GEL cushioning and rubber outsole. Mild soap and water can be used for tougher marks.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can deform the shoes.
  4. Insoles: If removable, the insoles can be taken out for separate cleaning or airing.
