Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GT-1000 14 trainers are high-performance shoes designed for active kids who need reliable footwear for play, school, or sports. Featuring an EVA midsole for consistent cushioning and a rugged rubber outsole, these trainers offer a balance of comfort and traction; however, the velcro closure system, while convenient for quick transitions, may offer less adjustability than traditional lace-up models for specific foot shapes.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to hand-clean these trainers. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity of the cushioning and the velcro bond.
What age group are these trainers for?
The GT-1000 14 trainers are specifically designed for kids, with sizing suited for toddlers to primary school-aged children.
Do these provide arch support?
The EVA midsole provides a baseline level of support and cushioning suitable for growing feet during daily activities.
Are they suitable for sports?
They are excellent for general movement, physical education, and light sports, though specialized athletic activities might require activity-specific footwear.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Measure the child's foot in centimeters or inches and refer to the UK sizing chart to ensure a proper fit with about a thumb's width of room at the toe.
Troubleshooting
Velcro strap losing stickiness
Use a pair of tweezers to gently pick out lint, hair, or debris from the hooks on the strap.
Shoes are scuffed after outdoor play
Wipe the affected area with a damp cloth; for tougher marks on the midsole, a non-gel toothpaste and a soft toothbrush can help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS trainers, pull the straps firmly but avoid over-tightening, as this can strain the velcro attachment points. Compatibility is straightforward: the shoes are true to size for standard children's UK sizing. For care, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Instead, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to remove surface dirt. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials or damage the adhesive in the sole.
