ASICS GEL-1130 - Black - Size 10.5

While the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers offer excellent cushioning and support for active children, they are primarily designed for everyday wear, school, and light athletic activities like playing on the playground. For specialized sports training or competitive sports, you may want to consider specific athletic footwear designed for those intense activities.

We recommend measuring your child's foot and referring to the ASICS sizing chart. It's often best to measure both feet and use the larger measurement. Leave a small space (about a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the end of the shoe to allow for growth and comfort during movement.

The mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes and brief exposure to damp conditions, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water may lead to wet feet and potentially compromise the shoe's materials over time. They are not recommended for very wet environments.

ASICS GEL technology is a proprietary cushioning system that uses a silicone-based material placed in strategic areas of the midsole. Its primary purpose is to absorb shock during impact, providing enhanced comfort, reducing strain, and facilitating a smoother transition through the gait cycle for the wearer.

With a traditional lace-up fastening, children who have learned to tie their laces will find these easy to put on independently. For younger children, adult assistance may be needed to ensure the laces are tied securely and the fit is optimal for safety and comfort during activity.

The frequency of cleaning depends on how often they are worn and the type of activities your child participates in. For active kids, a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth after significant use can help keep them fresh. A more thorough cleaning can be done as needed to remove accumulated dirt and grime.

The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are designed with a supportive foam midsole and GEL cushioning that provides general comfort and support for active kids. The overall design integrates elements for stability and cushioning to support young feet during everyday activities.

Ensure the laces are properly adjusted. Try re-lacing the shoe to distribute pressure evenly. If the problem persists, verify the shoe size is correct for your child's foot, as sizing can vary between brands and models. It is recommended to measure your child's feet regularly.

The mesh upper is designed for breathability. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking materials) to help manage sweat. Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear to prevent odor and dampness.

Check the rubber outsole for any embedded debris, mud, or excessive wear that might reduce traction. Clean the tread if necessary. While designed for good traction, extreme conditions (e.g., highly polished wet floors) may still pose a slip risk.

Gently clean scuffed areas and dirt marks on the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For deeper dirt, a soft brush can help. Regular, light cleaning after active use can prevent dirt buildup.
