FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers feature GEL technology cushioning and a responsive foam midsole, making them comfortable and supportive for light running and active play. While not a dedicated performance running shoe, they offer excellent comfort for everyday activity.

What materials are the shoes made from?

The shoes feature a breathable textile (mesh) and synthetic upper, with a synthetic sole that includes a foam midsole and a grippy rubber outsole.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

It's recommended to measure your child's foot and consult the ASICS sizing chart. Ensure there's about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Please refer to the 'Care & Maintenance' section for proper cleaning instructions.

What does 'GEL technology' do?

GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system placed in the heel of the shoe. It helps absorb shock during impact, providing lasting comfort and reducing strain on the feet.

Are these shoes durable for active kids?

Yes, with synthetic overlays for reinforcement and a grippy rubber outsole, these trainers are designed for durability to withstand the demands of active children's play and daily wear.

Is this shoe only for boys or girls?

The ASICS GEL-1130 is designed as a unisex shoe, making it suitable for both boys and girls.

Troubleshooting

My child complains the shoes are uncomfortable or too tight.

First, check the sizing against your child's current foot length. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. Have your child wear appropriate socks. If the issue persists, the size may be incorrect.

The shoes look dirty quickly, especially after outdoor play.

Regularly wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. For mud or tougher dirt, allow it to dry first, then gently brush off before wiping. Avoid letting dirt set in for too long.

My child's feet feel hot or sweaty.

While the mesh upper is breathable, ensure your child is wearing breathable socks (e.g., cotton blends). For very active periods, consider moisture-wicking socks. Make sure the shoes are not tied too tightly, restricting airflow.

The laces keep coming undone.

Teach your child how to tie a double knot for extra security. Regularly check the laces for wear; worn laces may not hold a knot as well.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Wearing

  1. Sizing: Always ensure you select the correct size for your child's foot. Refer to ASICS sizing guides for accurate measurements.
  2. Lacing: Loosen laces fully before putting the shoe on. Guide your child's foot in, ensuring the heel is seated comfortably against the back of the shoe.
  3. Tightening: Tighten the laces evenly, making sure they are snug but not too tight. A good fit allows for a little wiggle room for toes without the foot sliding inside.
  4. First Wear: Encourage your child to wear the shoes for short periods initially to ensure comfort and proper fit before extended use.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for unisex wear and are suitable for kids across various activities, including daily play, school, and casual outings. Their design makes them versatile for different outfits.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: For general dirt, gently wipe the mesh and synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
  • Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, a soft brush can be used on the outsole and more durable parts of the upper.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve materials and prevent odors. Regular airing can also help.
  • Inspecting: Periodically check laces for wear and the outsole for excessive wear or damage to ensure continued safety and support.
