FAQs

What kind of activities are these sneakers best for?

The ASICS Gel-Excite 10 GS sneakers are ideal for general active play, running, and daily wear for active children. They provide excellent comfort and impact absorption for various movements.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these sneakers feature a breathable mesh upper, which is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions, but not heavy rain or puddles.

How should I clean these sneakers?

To clean, gently wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the rubber sole, use a brush to remove dirt. Always allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.

What does 'GS' in the name mean?

'GS' typically stands for Grade School, indicating that the shoe is designed for children in the elementary or primary school age range, providing appropriate sizing and features for their developmental stage.

Are these suitable for children with wider feet?

The product description does not specify a wide fit option. It's always best to have your child try on the shoes to ensure a comfortable and appropriate fit for their specific foot shape and width.

Troubleshooting

My child complains of foot discomfort or rubbing.

First, ensure the shoes are properly sized for your child and that laces are tied securely but not excessively tight. Check for any bunched socks or small debris inside the shoe. Allow for a brief 'break-in' period if they are new. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a footwear specialist for a professional fit assessment.

The shoes seem to wear out quickly on the front/toes.

The ASICS Gel-Excite 10 GS features rubber stitching on the front to enhance durability in this high-wear area. However, active play, especially common with children, can still lead to noticeable wear over time. This is typical for children's active footwear. Regularly inspect the shoes for significant damage that might compromise support or protection, and consider replacement when necessary.

The sneakers retain an unpleasant odor after use.

Ensure the shoes are aired out thoroughly after each use, ideally in a well-ventilated area. If the insoles are removable, take them out to dry separately. You can use shoe deodorizers, foot powder, or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight (make sure to remove all residue before next wear) to absorb odors.

The sole seems to lack grip on certain surfaces.

The sturdy rubber sole is designed for general traction. Ensure the sole is clean and free of mud or debris that could reduce grip. While effective for most active play, no shoe offers universal grip on all surfaces. If issues persist on specific surfaces, assess if the shoe is appropriate for that particular environment.

Care

To maintain the longevity and appearance of your ASICS Gel-Excite 10 GS sneakers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap to remove dirt and grime. For the sturdy rubber sole, a brush can help remove stubborn mud or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources such as radiators, hair dryers, or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation and maintain their shape.
  4. Odour Control: If odours develop, remove insoles (if they are removable) to air out separately. You may also consider using shoe deodorizers or a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight (ensure it's completely removed before wear).
