Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very young children?
Yes, the child-specific last and size-checking sockliner make them suitable for children with growing feet. However, ensure laces are tied securely or consider alternative fastening methods if available and appropriate for the child's age and dexterity.
How do I ensure I'm buying the right size?
The GT-1000 14 GS features a size-checking sockliner. You can place your child's foot on the sockliner while it's out of the shoe to help determine the correct fit. Refer to ASICS sizing charts for additional guidance.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash by spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap, and air dry naturally.
What is the benefit of the GEL technology?
The Rearfoot GEL Technology is placed in the heel to attenuate shock, providing increased cushioning and comfort during impact, such as when running or jumping.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers feature a mesh upper for breathability and are not designed to be waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly wet conditions.
What does 'GS' stand for?
In this context, 'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that these shoes are designed for children in that age and size range.
How do the recycled materials benefit the environment?
Using at least 75% recycled materials in the upper helps reduce waste and lower carbon emissions associated with manufacturing new materials. The insole also uses a solution dyeing process that significantly reduces water and carbon emissions compared to traditional dyeing methods.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Utilize the size-checking sockliner to verify the fit. Adjust the laces to tighten or loosen the fit around the foot. Ensure the correct size was purchased based on the child's measurements.
Child complains of foot discomfort
Check if the shoes are properly laced. Ensure the sockliner is correctly positioned. For persistent discomfort, verify the size and consider if the shoe type is appropriate for the activity.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid aggressive scrubbing that could damage the material. Allow to air dry.
Outsole shows signs of wear
The durable rubber outsole is designed for traction. For significant wear, it may be time to consider a replacement pair, especially if performance or safety is impacted.
