FAQs
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?
The GEL technology in the heel provides superior shock absorption, cushioning impacts and reducing stress on young feet during activities like running and jumping.
How does the shoe help accommodate growing feet?
The GT-1000 14 PS features a kid-specific last for a better fit on developing feet, and a size checker printed on the sockliner to help parents find the correct size.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for versatile use, including everyday wear and active play. While they offer good cushioning and durability for general activities, they are not specialized for high-performance athletic training.
How do I clean the ASICS GT-1000 14 PS trainers?
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, and always air dry them away from direct heat.
What makes the upper material eco-friendly?
At least 75% of the main upper material is made from recycled content, helping to reduce waste and carbon emissions.
Can children easily put these shoes on themselves?
Yes, the hook and loop closure system is designed for easy fastening and unfastening, allowing pre-school children to manage their shoes independently.
What is the benefit of the EVA sockliner?
The EVA sockliner provides an additional layer of cushioning for comfort and helps with moisture management, contributing to a cooler and drier feel for the foot.
Troubleshooting
Shoe appears too tight or loose despite correct size
Utilize the hook and loop closure for a secure fit. Ensure the child's foot is positioned correctly within the shoe before fastening. Check the size checker on the sockliner for a more precise fit indication.
Child complains of discomfort after wearing
Ensure socks are worn and are of appropriate thickness. Verify the fit using the size checker and adjust the hook and loop straps. Allow for a brief break-in period if the shoes are brand new.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Remove the EVA sockliner to allow for better air circulation and faster drying. Ensure the shoes are fully dried after each use, especially if worn during sweaty activities.
Scuff marks or minor damage to the outsole
For cosmetic scuff marks, a damp cloth may help. The reinforced toe and medial wrap are designed for durability, but extensive wear and tear may eventually affect the outsole. Clean regularly to maintain appearance.
