Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GT-1000 14 PS trainers are designed for active children who need a reliable, comfortable shoe for daily movement and play. These trainers offer optimal cushioning through an EVA midsole and a convenient Velcro closure system, making them ideal for kids who need quick-on, quick-off footwear. While highly durable for everyday use, the Velcro design is tailored specifically for younger children and may not offer the same level of micro-adjustment as traditional laces for older athletes.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to clean these shoes by hand using a damp cloth. Machine washing can damage the structure and cushioning materials.
What does the PS designation mean?
PS stands for 'Preschool', indicating that the design features like the Velcro closure are optimized for younger children's developmental needs.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The EVA midsole provides foundational comfort and support suitable for standard child development and daily activities.
Are the reflective details effective at night?
Yes, the integrated reflective elements are designed to catch light from nearby sources, improving visibility in low-light environments.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles in the GT-1000 14 PS are generally designed to be fixed; removing them may compromise the intended comfort profile of the trainer.
Troubleshooting
Velcro strap losing grip
Check the hook-and-loop fabric for lint or debris and remove it using a pair of tweezers or a fine-tooth brush.
Shoes feel tight after a few months
Children's feet grow quickly; ensure you are checking for at least a half-inch of space in the toe box and consider upgrading to the next size.
Sole is becoming slippery
Check the outsole for compacted mud or debris; wash the tread with warm soapy water and a stiff brush to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for a straightforward fit. When trying them on, ensure the child is wearing the type of socks they intend to use regularly to check for proper width and length. To secure the shoe, simply press the Velcro strap down firmly; avoid leaving the straps loose, as this can affect stability. To clean your ASICS trainers, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water or putting them in a tumble dryer, as this can degrade the EVA foam and the adhesives used in the sole construction. Always air dry away from direct heat sources.
