Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GT-1000 14 PS Sneaker is designed for young, active boys seeking comfort and support during their running and training activities. Its key benefit is superior cushioning and a lightweight feel that encourages natural foot movement. A potential consideration is that while the hook-and-loop closure offers ease of use, it may require adult assistance for younger children to ensure a secure fit. This trainer features EVA cushioning for comfort, a lightweight construction, and a secure hook-and-loop closure system.

FAQs
What age group is the ASICS GT-1000 14 PS Sneaker intended for?
This model is designed for children, specifically from infant to younger kids' sizes, focusing on ease of use and comfort for active play.
How should I clean these trainers?
Wipe them with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution sparingly and then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry and avoid direct heat.
What is the main benefit of the EVA cushioning?
EVA cushioning provides superior comfort and shock absorption, helping to reduce impact on young feet during running and play.
Are these shoes suitable for children who overpronate?
The GT-1000 series generally offers support, but these PS (Pre-School) models are primarily focused on general comfort and cushioning. For specific pronation issues, consulting with a footwear specialist is recommended.
How does the hook-and-loop closure work?
The hook-and-loop closure consists of two parts that fasten together, allowing for quick and easy adjustment by the child or parent for a secure fit.
Can these trainers be used for specialized sports like basketball or football?
While durable for general athletic activities, they are best suited for running, training, and everyday wear. Specialized sports may require footwear with specific grip patterns and ankle support.
What are the available color options for this model?
This specific product is described as blue. Other color variations may be available for the GT-1000 14 PS series, such as green and blue/pink.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the hook-and-loop straps for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure the correct UK size was purchased for your child's foot measurement.
Cushioning feels flat after extended use.
EVA cushioning naturally compresses over time. If significant loss of comfort is noted, it may be time to consider a new pair, especially if the child has outgrown the current size.
Hook-and-loop straps are losing their grip.
Clean the hook-and-loop surfaces gently with a small brush or a damp cloth to remove any debris that may be preventing a secure closure. If the straps are significantly worn, replacement may be necessary.
Difficult to clean specific marks.
For persistent dirt, use a soft-bristled brush with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse the brush frequently and avoid saturating the shoe. Always air dry afterwards.
