FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The ASICS Gel-1130 features a standard width. While the lacing system allows for some adjustment, if your child has significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on in person or consider models specifically designed for wider fits.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the midsole provides exceptional shock absorption, protecting the feet and joints from impact during running, jumping, and other high-impact activities.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technologies. Hand wash with mild soap and water as per the care instructions.
What does 'GS' stand for in the product name?
'GS' typically stands for Grade School, indicating that this specific model is sized for children in the grade school age range.
How do I know if I've ordered the correct size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your child's foot accurately. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe when trying them on.
What is the intended use for these trainers?
These trainers are designed for a combination of everyday wear, light athletic activities, and running. They offer a balance of comfort, support, and style.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the correct UK size has been selected. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not too tight. For a temporary solution, wear thinner socks.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the sole and insole. Try removing the insole and ensuring both are completely dry. If the noise persists, it might be from the internal structure and may resolve with continued wear.
Discoloration of the aqua accents
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Clean gently with a damp cloth to maintain the vibrancy of the aqua elements.
