FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Excite 10 GS is designed for durability and comfort, making it suitable for active kids' everyday school and play activities. Its breathable upper and impact absorption are great for long days.
How does the GEL technology benefit my child's feet?
The GEL technology in the heel improves impact absorption, cushioning each step. This helps reduce the shock on your child's joints during running, jumping, and playing, providing a more comfortable and protected experience.
What is the best way to clean these shoes?
For the mesh upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the rubber sole, use a stiff brush to remove dirt. Always air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.
Is the sizing consistent with other ASICS children's shoes?
Generally, ASICS children's sizing is consistent. However, we recommend measuring your child's foot and referring to a standard UK children's shoe size chart to ensure the best fit.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials, adhesives, and structural integrity. Always clean them by hand as described in the care section.
What kind of activities are these shoes specifically designed for?
These shoes are primarily designed for running and general active play. Their features, such as breathability, sturdy sole, and impact absorption, make them ideal for various sports and outdoor activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
First, ensure the correct size was purchased by re-measuring your child's foot. Check that socks are not too thick or thin for the shoe's fit. Adjust lacing for a more secure (tighter) or relaxed (looser) feel. If the size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a better fit.
Odor develops inside the shoes.
Allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Remove insoles occasionally for separate airing. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight, then shake it out.
Sole grip seems reduced.
Clean the rubber sole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt, mud, or small stones that might be compromising traction. A stiff brush and water can be effective. Inspect for excessive wear on the tread, which may indicate it's time for new shoes.
Upper mesh appears dirty or stained.
Gently clean the mesh upper with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with water and a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap. Rub gently in small circles, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Air dry completely away from direct heat.

Care
Proper care extends the life and performance of your shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing that could damage the material. Allow to air dry completely.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt, mud, and debris from the rubber sole for optimal grip.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in damp environments to prevent odor and mildew.
- Rotation: If your child has multiple pairs of shoes, rotating them can allow each pair to air out and extend their overall lifespan.
