FAQs
What age group are these trainers suitable for?
These trainers are designed for kids, specifically boys, indicated by the 'PS' (Preschool) designation, suggesting suitability for younger children who are active.
How do I determine the correct size?
It's recommended to measure your child's foot length and consult the ASICS sizing chart. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the front of the shoe when worn with socks.
Can these shoes be used for other sports besides running?
While excellent for running and general training, they offer good support and cushioning for many athletic activities. However, for highly specialized sports, sport-specific footwear might be more appropriate.
Are the hook and loop straps adjustable?
Yes, the hook and loop straps are designed to be adjustable, allowing for a customized and secure fit across the top of the foot.
What is the primary benefit of the EVA cushioning?
The EVA cushioning provides superior comfort by absorbing impact and reducing stress on young feet during running and other physical activities.
How should I clean the ASICS GT-1000 14 PS trainers?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
What does the '14 PS' in the product name signify?
The '14' refers to the model iteration, and 'PS' typically stands for Preschool, indicating they are sized and designed for younger children.
Troubleshooting
Hook and loop strap not securing properly
Ensure the strap area is free from debris like dirt or lint. Try pressing down firmly along the entire length of the strap to ensure good adhesion.
Child complains of discomfort
Verify the size is correct by checking the fit (allow a thumb's width between the longest toe and the shoe's end). Ensure socks are appropriate and not bunched up inside the shoe.
Shoes appear worn out quickly
Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (running/training). Excessive use on rough surfaces or for activities other than running may accelerate wear.
