FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running training?
The ASICS Gel-Excite 10 GS are designed as versatile trainers excellent for general active play, physical education, and light recreational running. For more intensive or competitive running training, a specialized running shoe with advanced features might be more appropriate.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
To ensure the best fit, measure your child's foot length (while they are standing) and compare it to the official ASICS kids' sizing chart. Always allow about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe for comfort and growth.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the ASICS Gel-Excite 10 GS. Machine washing can damage the shoe's materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology, affecting its performance and lifespan. Please follow the spot cleaning instructions under the 'Care Instructions' section.
What does 'GS' in the product name mean?
'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that the shoe is specifically sized and designed for children in the elementary school age range.
Is the 'Gel' technology visible on the shoe?
The 'Gel' technology is an integral part of the shoe's cushioning system, primarily designed for impact absorption and comfort. While its function is felt, it may not always be visibly exposed on the exterior of the shoe.
Are these shoes good for children with wide feet?
ASICS generally offers a standard fit for their shoes. If your child has particularly wide feet, it is advisable to have them try on the shoes to ensure a comfortable fit. You can also check if ASICS offers specific wide-fit options in this series.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub.
Ensure the correct size has been chosen. Check for proper lacing – not too tight or too loose. Experiment with different types of socks (e.g., moisture-wicking athletic socks). Allow for a brief 'break-in' period.
Excessive foot odor.
Ensure shoes are fully dry after each wear; alternating between two pairs can help. Remove insoles periodically to air out. Use moisture-wicking socks. Consider shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda packets inside overnight.
Sole appears to be wearing out quickly.
While the rubber sole is sturdy, highly abrasive surfaces or certain foot gaits can accelerate wear. Ensure your child is not dragging their feet. If wear is unusually rapid, contact ASICS customer support.
Stitching or mesh fabric shows signs of damage.
For minor fraying, carefully trim loose threads. For significant damage to stitching or mesh, which could impact durability or performance, contact ASICS customer support, as it might indicate a manufacturing defect.

Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life and performance of your ASICS Gel-Excite 10 GS sneakers.
