FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The GT-1000 14 GS features a child-specific last, which is designed to provide a better fit for children. However, if your child has significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on to ensure comfort, as width can vary.
How do I use the size-checking sockliner?
The sockliner is designed to help confirm the correct size. Place the sockliner on the floor and have your child stand on it with their heel against the back. There should be a small amount of space at the front, indicating the correct length.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Hand wash gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What is the benefit of the recycled materials?
Using recycled materials in the upper reduces waste and lowers the environmental impact by decreasing carbon emissions associated with manufacturing new materials.
How long does the GEL technology last?
The GEL technology is integrated into the midsole for lasting cushioning. Its effectiveness is generally maintained throughout the shoe's lifespan, provided the shoe is used as intended and cared for properly.
What activities are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are versatile and suitable for everyday casual wear, school activities, light running, and various multisport activities. They provide a good balance of comfort, support, and durability for active children.
What is the color of the shoe?
The shoe is primarily blue with secondary yellow color accents.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. Use the size-checking sockliner to confirm the fit. Consider a brief break-in period, as the shoes may loosen slightly with wear.
Discomfort during impact activities
Verify the laces are securely tied. Ensure the correct size has been selected using the sockliner. The GEL technology is designed to provide cushioning, but proper fit is crucial.
Soles show excessive wear
While designed for durability, excessive wear in specific areas might indicate strenuous use beyond the intended scope. Ensure the shoe's intended use aligns with the child's activities.
Shoe smells after use
Remove the insole and air dry both separately. Utilize breathable socks. Regular cleaning and airing out can help prevent odor buildup.
