FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Excite 10 shoes are designed for durability, comfort, and support, making them ideal for school, playtime, and general daily activities.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's feet. Stand them on a piece of paper, trace their foot, and measure the length from heel to longest toe. Compare this to the ASICS children's size chart. Always leave about a thumb's width of space at the toe.
Can these shoes be used for other sports like basketball or football?
While versatile, these shoes are primarily designed for running and general active play. For specialized sports like basketball or football, shoes with specific support, grip, and ankle protection features would be more appropriate.
What is the 'Gel-Excite' technology?
The 'Gel' in Gel-Excite refers to ASICS' proprietary GEL cushioning system, strategically placed to absorb shock during impact and provide a softer, more comfortable feel underfoot.
How often should I replace my child's running shoes?
Children's shoes should be replaced more frequently than adult shoes, not just due to wear and tear but also because their feet grow. Typically, check for new sizing every 3-6 months, or sooner if visible wear compromises support.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the breathable mesh upper, while great for ventilation, is not designed to be waterproof. They will get wet in rain or puddles.
Troubleshooting
My child complains the shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Check if the laces are tied too tightly. Also, verify the shoe size against your child's current foot measurements. Children's feet grow quickly, so they may need a larger size.
The shoes are making my child's feet sweat excessively.
While the mesh upper is breathable, ensure your child is wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Also, allow shoes to air out completely after each use.
The sole seems to be wearing down quickly.
Excessive wear can be caused by constant friction on rough surfaces. While durable, these shoes are not indestructible. Monitor how and where your child uses them. Ensure they aren't dragging their feet while walking or running.
The shoes smell bad after a few uses.
Regularly remove insoles to air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dried if they get wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure laces are securely tied, but not too tight, allowing for natural foot movement without slippage. Double knotting can prevent untying during activity.
- Fit Check: Have your child try them on with their typical socks. Check for a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. Ensure the heel doesn't slip and there are no pressure points.

Care
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and cold water mixture with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials.
- Drying: Air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause shrinkage or material degradation.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Allow them to air out after each use to prevent odor buildup.
