FAQs

What age group are these trainers designed for?

These ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are designed for kids and juniors.

How does the GEL technology benefit my child?

The GEL technology provides excellent cushioning, absorbing shock during impact and helping to protect your child's feet and joints.

Are these shoes suitable for sports like running or basketball?

While they offer good cushioning and traction for general activities and casual wear, they are not specifically designed for high-performance or specialized sports. For dedicated training, sports-specific footwear might be more appropriate.

How should I clean the white mesh material?

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. For stains, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft brush, then rinse by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.

What is the main benefit of the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed to provide superior traction, helping to prevent slips and ensure stability on various surfaces.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and cushioning. Hand-wash or spot-clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap.

What does the retro running look refer to?

The retro running look refers to a design aesthetic inspired by classic ASICS running shoe models from past decades, combined with modern materials and comfort features.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and adjust the fit, ensuring the foot is positioned correctly within the shoe before re-tying.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

Ensure the shoes are properly broken in. For persistent issues, the cushioning may have degraded over time with heavy use.

Slipping on certain surfaces

Clean the rubber outsole of any debris that might be obstructing traction. Ensure the surface itself is not excessively wet or oily.

Discoloration on white mesh

Spot clean gently with a mild detergent and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing which can spread stains.
