Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GT-1000 14 is a high-performance, supportive trainer designed specifically for kids who need extra stability during sports and daily play. By combining advanced rearfoot GEL technology with a structured medial stability system, these shoes effectively absorb impact and promote proper alignment for developing feet; however, the structured design may feel stiffer initially compared to purely minimalist lifestyle sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for children who overpronate?
Yes, the GT-1000 14 features a medial stability system designed to provide extra support for developing feet that tend to roll inward.
Can these shoes be worn for everyday school use?
Absolutely. Their durable construction and breathable mesh make them ideal for the demands of a school day and playground activities.
How often should I replace these trainers?
As a general guideline, performance trainers should be replaced every 6 to 9 months, or sooner if the outsole tread is worn smooth or the midsole feels compressed.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the EVA insole is removable, which allows for cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics if necessary.
Does the blue and green colorway stay clean easily?
The darker tones in this colorway are generally better at masking dirt compared to lighter shades, though regular spot cleaning is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the top
Adjust the laces to a looser tension, focusing on the eyelets near the midfoot to relieve pressure.
Insole sliding during play
Ensure the insole is pressed firmly into the heel cup of the shoe; if it persists, ensure the sock is not too slippery.
Odour buildup
Remove the insole after active days to allow both the shoe and the insert to air out completely in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, have the child wear the socks they intend to use with the shoes and measure their feet toward the end of the day when feet are at their largest. The GT-1000 14 is a neutral-to-stability shoe designed for standard youth foot widths.
Care instructions are straightforward: to clean the exterior, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the GEL cushioning and adhesives. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can cause materials to crack or warp.
