FAQs
What makes these shoes suitable for children?
They feature a child-specific last for a better fit, a size-checking sockliner, and durable construction to withstand active play, along with GEL technology for comfort.
Are these shoes good for running?
Yes, they are designed with features like GEL technology for shock absorption and a durable rubber outsole for traction, making them suitable for running and multisport activities.
How do I know if I'm choosing the correct size?
Use the size-checking sockliner that comes with the shoe to ensure a proper fit for your child's growing feet. Measure your child's foot and compare it to the Asics sizing chart.
What materials are used in the GT-1000 14 GS trainers?
The upper is made from lightweight and breathable mesh, with at least 75% recycled materials. The midsole is EVA, and the outsole is durable rubber.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Cleaning should be done by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What is the benefit of the wraparound forefoot sole?
The wraparound forefoot sole, along with the rubber toe seam, enhances the durability of the shoe, making it more resilient to wear and tear from active children.
How does the GEL technology help?
The Rearfoot GEL Technology provides excellent shock attenuation, cushioning the impact on the heel and improving comfort during wear and activity.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure the foot is positioned correctly within the shoe. Check the size-checking sockliner for a proper fit confirmation.
Sole feels slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For synthetic surfaces, check for wear and tear; consider replacement if traction is significantly compromised.
Foot odor
Remove insoles and air out shoes regularly. Wash insoles with mild soap and water and allow to dry completely. Consider using foot powder.
