FAQs
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size for my child?
The GT-1000 14 PS features a kid-specific last and a size checker printed on the sockliner. Place your child's foot on the sockliner inside the shoe to see if it aligns with the correct size markings.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for comfortable everyday wear and light athletic activities suitable for pre-schoolers. For organized sports requiring specific performance features, a dedicated sports shoe might be more appropriate.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is placed in the heel to provide cushioning and absorb shock during impact, making activities like running and jumping more comfortable for young feet.
How durable are these shoes for active children?
The shoes feature a medial forefoot wrap-up outsole and toe rubber stitching designed to enhance durability and withstand the rigors of active play.
Are these shoes eco-friendly?
Yes, at least 75% of the main upper material is made with recycled content, and the sockliner is produced using a solution dyeing process that reduces water usage and carbon emissions.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What type of closure do these shoes have?
These trainers feature a hook and loop closure system, allowing for easy on and off for children.
Troubleshooting
Child finds shoes uncomfortable
Ensure the correct size has been selected using the built-in size checker. Check that the hook and loop straps are fastened securely but not too tightly. Allow a short break-in period if the shoes are brand new.
Shoes showing excessive wear quickly
Verify the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (daily wear, light play). For very demanding activities, consider a more specialized athletic shoe. Check that the size is correct, as an ill-fitting shoe can wear out faster.
Difficulty fastening the hook and loop straps
Ensure the straps are clean and free from debris that might prevent them from sticking properly. If the straps are losing their grip, it might be time to consider a new pair.
Inside of shoe smells after use
Remove the EVA sockliner and allow both the sockliner and the inside of the shoe to air dry completely between wears. Washing the sockliner occasionally with mild soap and water can also help. Consider using foot powders designed for children's shoes.
