Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GT-1000 14 PS (Pre-School) trainers are designed for active kids, offering comfort and durability for daily wear. A key benefit is the kid's-specific design that accommodates growing feet, though the primary focus is on general activity rather than specialized sports. These trainers feature a breathable mesh upper, GEL technology in the heel for shock absorption, and a hook-and-loop closure for easy fitting. With a commitment to sustainability, a significant portion of the upper is made from recycled materials, and the sockliner uses a water-saving dyeing process.

FAQs
How do I ensure I'm buying the correct size for my child?
The GT-1000 14 PS features a kid's-specific last and a size checker printed on the sockliner. Place your child's foot on the sockliner to see where their toes align, helping you find the most appropriate size for their growing feet.
Are these shoes suitable for sports activities?
The GT-1000 14 PS are designed as versatile trainers for everyday comfort and durability during general activities like playing, walking, and school. They are not specifically designed as specialized sports shoes for rigorous athletic training.
What is the benefit of the GEL technology in the heel?
The Rearfoot GEL technology is a shock-attenuating material that helps absorb impact during daily activities. This provides enhanced comfort and reduces stress on young feet.
How is the durability of these trainers enhanced?
Durability is improved through features like the medial forefoot wrap-up outsole and a toe rubber stitch, which are designed to withstand the wear and tear associated with active children's play.
What does 'Pre-School' (PS) mean in the product name?
'PS' indicates that these shoes are designed for the pre-school age group, featuring a fit and construction suitable for younger children.
How do I clean the shoes if they get dirty?
You can clean the shoes by wiping them with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild soap and water solution can be used. It's important to let them air dry naturally and avoid machine washing or drying.
Are these shoes made with sustainable materials?
Yes, at least 75% of the shoe's main upper material is made with recycled content. Additionally, the sockliner is produced using a solution dyeing process that significantly reduces water usage and carbon emissions compared to conventional methods.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the hook and loop straps to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure the foot is positioned correctly within the shoe before fastening.
Discomfort after initial wear
This can be normal as feet adjust. Ensure the correct size is being worn using the sockliner size checker. If discomfort persists, check for any internal seams or debris.
Mud or dirt accumulation
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to gently clean the affected areas. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used. Allow to air dry.
Reduced cushioning over time
While designed for durability, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. For significant wear, consider replacement. Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose.
