FAQs
What age group are these trainers for?
These trainers are specifically designed for kids, falling under the 'kids' age group.
How do I clean the ASICS GT-1000 14 PS?

Are these shoes suitable for all types of running?

The EVA cushioning provides superior comfort by absorbing shock during impact, making runs and activities more pleasant and reducing foot fatigue.
How does the hook and loop closure work?
The hook and loop closure uses fasteners that easily stick together and can be pulled apart. This allows for quick and simple fastening and unfastening, perfect for children.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the hook and loop straps are adjusted correctly and not over-tightened. Verify the size is appropriate for the child's foot.
Cushioning feels stiff
New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the cushioning to adapt to the foot.
Foot feels warm or sweaty
Ensure the socks worn are breathable. The materials are designed for breathability, but heavy socks can contribute to heat buildup.
Straps losing grip
Clean the hook and loop surfaces gently with a small brush or tape to remove lint and debris, which can impair their sticking power.
