Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GT-1000 14 PS Trainers are designed for active kids who need a durable and comfortable shoe for daily wear and light activities. The key benefit is the combination of GEL technology for shock absorption and a kid's-specific fit for growing feet, with a hook-and-loop closure for easy on-and-off. A potential consideration is that these are designed for general wear and light training, not high-impact sports.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running races?
The ASICS GT-1000 14 PS trainers are designed for everyday comfort and light activities. For competitive running races, specialized running shoes with specific performance features might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
ASICS includes a kid's-specific last and a size checker on the sockliner to help ensure a proper fit. It's recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the size chart, ensuring there's a little room for growth.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and construction.
What makes the construction durable for kids?
The shoes feature a medial forefoot wrap-up outsole and a toe rubber stitch, which are specifically incorporated to increase durability in high-wear areas common during active play.
How does the GEL technology help?
The GEL technology is placed in the heel and acts as a shock-attenuating material. It helps absorb impact during movement, providing cushioning and comfort for young feet.
Are these shoes eco-friendly?
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.
What is the purpose of the EVA sockliner?
The EVA sockliner provides an extra layer of cushioning for comfort and also offers moisture management properties to help keep the child's feet cooler and drier.
Troubleshooting
Shoe appears too tight or uncomfortable
Verify the correct size has been selected. Use the size checker on the sockliner. Ensure the hook and loop straps are adjusted for a snug but not constricting fit. Check if the child's foot has grown since the last measurement.
Discoloration or wear on the toe area
This is normal wear and tear from activities like crawling or frequent stopping/starting. The toe rubber stitch is designed to enhance durability in this area. Clean gently as per care instructions.
Foot feels wet or sweaty after use
Ensure the shoes are properly aired out after each use. If the sockliner is damp, remove it and allow it to air dry completely. Consider moisture-wicking socks for the child.
Hook and loop closure not staying fastened
Ensure the hook and loop surfaces are clean and free of debris, such as lint or dirt, which can prevent a secure closure. Gently clean the hook and loop material with a stiff brush if necessary.
