FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all types of sports?
The ASICS Gel-Excite 10 is designed for general active wear, including casual running, playground activities, and daily use. While they provide excellent comfort and support for these purposes, for specialized sports like competitive soccer or basketball, shoes specifically designed for those activities might offer better performance and injury prevention.
How often should I check my child's shoe size?
Children's feet grow rapidly. It's recommended to check your child's shoe size every 3-4 months, especially for younger children, to ensure their shoes always fit comfortably and support healthy foot development.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the ASICS Gel-Excite 10. Machine washing can damage the shoe's materials, cushioning, and overall structure. Please follow the care instructions provided for cleaning by hand.
What is the best way to clean these shoes?
For best results, gently wipe the mesh upper and rubber sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid scrubbing too hard. Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles in the ASICS Gel-Excite 10 are typically removable. This allows for easier cleaning and airing out, and also provides the option to insert custom orthotics if needed.
Do these shoes come in other colors and sizes?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Excite 10 series is available in a variety of colors and sizes to accommodate different preferences and foot dimensions for children. Please check with your retailer for available options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
First, ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, re-check their foot size against the shoe size. Children's feet grow quickly, so regular re-measurement is recommended. Lacing can also be adjusted for a more snug or relaxed fit.
Unpleasant odor develops in shoes
This is common with active use. Remove the insoles and let both the insoles and shoes air out completely after each use. You can also use shoe deodorizing sprays or place dryer sheets or baking soda in the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and odor.
Sole appears to be wearing out quickly
Check if the shoes are being used for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., abrasive surfaces for long periods). Ensure the child's gait isn't causing excessive wear in one area. If wear is abnormal and rapid, contact customer support.
Child complains of discomfort or rubbing
Inspect the inside of the shoe for any foreign objects, bunched socks, or rough seams. Ensure the shoe size is correct and the child's foot isn't slipping or rubbing excessively. Sometimes a short 'break-in' period is needed, but persistent discomfort requires re-evaluating the fit.
