FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The GT-1000 14 GS is designed with a child-specific last for a secure fit. While not explicitly wide-fit, the lacing system allows for some adjustment. The size-checking sockliner can help gauge overall fit.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The Rearfoot GEL Technology is designed to attenuate shock, providing enhanced cushioning and comfort, particularly during impact activities like running and jumping.
How do I know if the size is correct for my child?
These trainers feature a special size-checking sockliner. When your child stands on the sockliner, you can check if the toe area has adequate growing room for a proper fit.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Cleaning should be done by hand with a damp cloth to preserve the materials and structure of the shoe.
What does 'GS' stand for in the product name?
GS typically stands for 'Grade School', indicating that this shoe model is specifically designed for children in that age and size range.
How durable is the rubber toe seam?
The wraparound forefoot sole and rubber toe seam are enhanced to increase durability, helping the shoes withstand scuffs and wear from active play.
Are there other color options available?
While this guide focuses on the blue colorway, ASICS often offers various color options for their children's trainers in different series. Please check with retailers for available colorways.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Utilize the size-checking sockliner to ensure a proper fit. Adjust lacing for tightness. If consistently ill-fitting, consider a different size.
Reduced cushioning over time
The EVA midsole and GEL technology are designed for durability, but performance may decrease with extensive use. Consider replacement after significant wear.
Material wear on toe area
The reinforced rubber toe seam is designed to prevent this. If wear is excessive, ensure the child is not dragging their feet excessively during activities.
Shoes smell after use
Remove insoles and allow shoes to air dry completely between uses. Sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors.
