FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for cross-country running?
The ASICS Patriot 14 GS Trainers offer good traction, making them suitable for general cross-country use. However, for highly competitive or challenging terrain, specialized cross-country spikes might offer superior performance.
What is the primary benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, enhancing comfort and responsiveness during athletic activities.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the ASICS sizing chart. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the difference between GS and adult trainers?
GS stands for 'Grade School' and indicates these trainers are specifically designed for children. They may differ in features, support, and sizing compared to adult models.
How often should I replace these trainers?
The lifespan of trainers depends on usage frequency, intensity, and surface. For active children, it's generally recommended to replace them every 6-12 months, or when signs of wear are evident, such as flattened cushioning or worn outsoles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Use the lacing system to adjust the fit around the midfoot and ankle. Consider wearing thinner socks if the issue persists.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris that may be obstructing the tread pattern. If the outsole is significantly worn, it may be time for a replacement.
Feet feel overheated
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. Clean the breathable mesh upper to ensure it is free of debris that might impede ventilation.
Midsole feels stiff
New trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The EVA midsole will soften with use.
