FAQs
What does 'GS' stand for in ASICS Gel-Excite 10 GS?
'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that these shoes are specifically designed and sized for children in elementary or primary school.
Are these shoes suitable for all sports?
While versatile for general active play and everyday wear, the ASICS Gel-Excite 10 GS are primarily designed as running shoes. They offer excellent cushioning and support for linear movements. For sports requiring significant lateral movement or specialized ankle support (e.g., basketball, tennis), dedicated shoes for those activities might be more appropriate.
How do I choose the right size for my child?
It is best to measure your child's feet regularly, as they grow quickly. Compare their foot length to the ASICS sizing chart. There should be about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash running shoes, as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Instead, clean them by hand using a soft brush, mild soap, and a damp cloth, then air dry.
How often should my child's running shoes be replaced?
For active children, shoes should be replaced every 4-6 months, or sooner if visible signs of wear (worn out soles, collapsed cushioning, holes in the upper) appear, or if their foot size changes. Regularly inspect the shoes for damage and fit.
What kind of socks should my child wear with these shoes?
For optimal comfort and to prevent blisters, your child should wear athletic socks made from moisture-wicking materials. Avoid thick cotton socks, which can retain moisture.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Double-check the size against your child's current foot measurements. Ensure socks are not too thick. Allow a short break-in period; if discomfort persists, consider a half size up or a wider fit if available.
Soles are wearing out quickly.
Evaluate the surfaces your child frequently runs or plays on (rougher surfaces cause faster wear). Consider if your child needs to rotate between multiple pairs of shoes, especially for very active use.
Persistent foot odor.
Ensure shoes are thoroughly air-dried after each use. Remove insoles to allow them to air out. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or a shoe deodorizer spray. Wash insoles if removable and appropriate for washing.
