FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The GT-1000 14 GS features a child-specific last, which is designed to accommodate growing feet. While generally comfortable, if your child has particularly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on to ensure a good fit.
How do I know if the size is correct?
These trainers include a size-checking sockliner. You can place your child's foot on the sockliner to help determine if the length is appropriate for their current foot size.
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 preserve the materials and structure of the shoe.
What is the benefit of the Rearfoot GEL Technology?
The Rearfoot GEL Technology is strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock during impact, providing enhanced cushioning and a smoother transition from heel to toe.
How durable are the rubber toe seams?
The rubber toe seam is designed to enhance durability, making the shoes more resistant to wear and tear from activities like running and playing, which often stress the front of the shoe.
What does 'GS' stand for in the product name?
'GS' typically stands for Grade School, indicating that this shoe model is designed for children in that age and size range.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They feature a breathable mesh upper, which prioritizes ventilation over water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Utilize the size-checking sockliner to confirm the fit. Adjust lacing for tightness. If consistently uncomfortable, double-check the shoe size and consider a different size or model.
Reduced cushioning over time
The EVA midsole and GEL cushioning are designed for longevity, but performance may subtly decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoe is not being used for activities beyond its intended scope.
Mesh upper showing signs of wear
While the mesh is breathable, it can be susceptible to snags. Avoid rough contact with sharp objects. Gentle cleaning with a soft brush can help maintain its appearance.
Odor inside the shoe
The EVA insole offers moisture management, but odor can still occur. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. Remove insoles to air out regularly. Use a shoe deodorizer spray if necessary.
