FAQs
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these trainers?
The GEL technology is placed in the heel to provide enhanced shock absorption, cushioning young feet and reducing impact during daily activities.
How does the shoe accommodate growing feet?
The trainers feature a kid's-specific last for a better fit and a size checker on the sockliner, allowing parents to monitor and ensure the correct fit as the child's feet grow.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
The ASICS GT-1000 14 PS trainers are designed for active play and general wear. While they offer good support and cushioning, they are best suited for everyday activities rather than high-intensity competitive sports.
How do I clean the ASICS GT-1000 14 PS trainers?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. The removable EVA sockliner can be hand-washed. Allow all parts to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What does 'PS' stand for in GT-1000 14 PS?
PS stands for 'Pre-School', indicating that these shoes are designed for young children in that age and development stage.
Are these trainers environmentally 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 compared to conventional methods.
What is the purpose of the medial forefoot wrap-up outsole?
The medial forefoot wrap-up outsole, along with the toe rubber stitch, is designed to improve the overall durability of the shoe, especially in high-wear areas during active play.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the hook-and-loop straps for a secure but comfortable fit. Use the size checker on the sockliner to confirm if the shoe is still the correct size for your child's growing feet.
Difficulty fastening the hook-and-loop straps
Ensure the straps are clean and free of debris. If the hook-and-loop material has lost some grip, try cleaning it gently with a stiff brush.
Foot odor or dampness inside the shoe
Remove the EVA sockliner and allow both the insole and the shoe to air dry completely after use. Ensure the shoes are worn with appropriate socks.
Visible wear on the outsole or toe stitching
While designed for durability, intensive play can cause wear. Ensure the child is using the appropriate footwear for the activity. Minor wear is normal for active use.
