FAQs
How do I use the size checker on the sockliner?
The size checker is typically a printed guide on the insole. It allows you to place your child's foot on the sockliner to help determine if the current size is appropriate or if they are outgrowing the shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for running competitions?
The GT-1000 14 PS are designed for everyday comfort and light activities. For competitive running, specialized performance shoes may be more appropriate.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
What is the benefit of the medial forefoot wrap-up outsole?
This design feature enhances the durability of the shoe, particularly in the forefoot area, which is often subject to abrasion during play like crawling or climbing.
How much recycled material is used in these shoes?
At least 75% of the shoe's main upper material is made with recycled content, contributing to reduced waste and carbon emissions.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
While the mesh upper offers breathability, these trainers are not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light puddles, but prolonged exposure to water should be avoided.
What is the purpose of the EVA sockliner?
The EVA sockliner provides additional cushioning for comfort and helps with moisture management, aiming to keep the child's feet cooler and drier during wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes appear too small or too large.
Utilize the size checker on the sockliner or measure the child's foot against a sizing chart to confirm the correct fit. Consider the specific fit recommendations for children's footwear.
Hook and loop closure not secure.
Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces are free from debris like lint, dirt, or small stones. Clean gently with a soft brush if necessary.
Material appears scuffed or dirty.
Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. For persistent marks on the mesh, a soft-bristled brush can be used gently. Always air dry.
Child complains of discomfort.
Re-check the sizing and ensure the shoe is properly fastened. Verify that the sockliner is seated correctly. Consider if the child's activity level exceeds the shoe's intended use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the correct size is selected using the size checker on the sockliner if available, or by measuring the child's foot against a standard sizing chart.
Compatibility: The ASICS GT-1000 14 PS are versatile trainers suitable for general everyday wear, light sports, and active play for preschool-aged children. They are compatible with various children's apparel.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Do not machine wash.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the hook-and-loop closures to ensure they are clean and functioning properly. Inspect the sole and upper for any signs of excessive wear and tear.
