FAQs
What activities are the ASICS Gel-Excite 10 suitable for?
These shoes are versatile and great for a range of activities including everyday wear, school, playground play, light running, and other general sports activities that require comfortable and supportive footwear.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation and is not waterproof. They offer some resistance to light splashes, but they are not intended for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's foot length and comparing it to the ASICS sizing chart for children's UK sizes. Always allow about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe for comfort and growth.
What is the 'Gel' technology mentioned in the name?
ASICS GEL technology is a cushioning system designed to absorb impact, reduce shock during foot strike, and provide a softer feel and smoother transition from landing to toe-off. In the Gel-Excite series, it contributes to overall comfort and protection.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, it is strongly advised not to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the footwear. Please follow the hand-cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct children's UK size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern; looser for a wider foot, tighter for a narrower foot. Consider trying different thickness socks.
My child complains of foot discomfort after wearing them.
Check if the shoes are tied too tightly. Ensure socks are comfortable and not bunched up. Verify the shoe size is still appropriate, as children's feet grow quickly. If discomfort persists, consult a healthcare professional.
Shoes are getting dirty quickly and losing their fresh look.
Regularly brush off loose dirt after use. Follow the 'Care' instructions for cleaning the mesh upper and rubber sole. For stubborn stains, a gentle spot cleaner designed for athletic shoes can be used.
The sole seems to be wearing out faster than expected.
The rubber sole is sturdy, but high-friction activities on abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear. Ensure proper cleaning as dirt can also contribute to wear. If wear is excessive under normal conditions, consider contacting customer support.

Care
Proper care extends the life of your ASICS Gel-Excite 10 shoes:
- Cleaning:
- Remove loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush) or damp cloth.
- For tougher dirt, mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with lukewarm water.
- Gently scrub the mesh upper and rubber sole with a cloth or soft brush dipped in the soapy water.
- Wipe away soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry shoes naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or prolonged sunlight.
