FAQs
What age group are the GT-1000 14 GS trainers designed for?
These trainers are specifically designed for kids, accommodating growing feet with features like a child-specific last and a size-checking sockliner.
How does the Rearfoot GEL Technology benefit my child?
The Rearfoot GEL Technology attenuates impact during activities, providing enhanced cushioning and shock absorption to make movement more comfortable and reduce stress on the feet.
Are these shoes suitable for all types of sports?
The GT-1000 14 GS are versatile trainers suitable for general sports, running, and multisport activities. For highly specialized or intense sports, specific athletic footwear might be more appropriate.
How can I check if the shoes fit correctly?
The shoes come with a size-checking sockliner. Your child's heel should align with the red line on the sockliner to indicate a proper fit. Ensure the laces are adjusted for comfort and security.
What is the environmental impact of these shoes?
The upper is made from at least 75% recycled materials, and the insole uses a solution dyeing process which reduces water consumption and carbon emissions, contributing to a more sustainable product.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the EVA insoles are typically removable, which can aid in cleaning and drying the shoes.
What is the primary fastener for these trainers?
The primary fastener is laces, allowing for an adjustable and secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system for a more secure or relaxed fit. Use the size-checking sockliner to ensure the correct size has been selected for the child's growing foot.
Treadwear on the sole.
This is normal for active use. If excessive, ensure the child is not dragging their feet during movement. The reinforced toe seam and wraparound sole are designed to mitigate this.
Discomfort during activity.
Check that the shoes are laced correctly and that the size is appropriate. Ensure the sockliner is correctly positioned. The GEL technology should provide ample cushioning; if discomfort persists, consult the sizing guide or consider a different model if specific foot needs are present.
Odors developing inside the shoe.
Remove the insoles and allow both the insoles and shoes to air dry completely. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then discard the baking soda in the morning.
