FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The GT-1000 14 GS features a child-specific last which generally accommodates a range of foot shapes, but it is not specifically designed for extra-wide feet. The lacing system allows for some adjustment.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Use the size-checking sockliner provided inside the shoe. Place your child's foot on the sockliner to check for proper length and width. Ensure there is a small amount of growing room at the toe.
Can these shoes be used for specific sports like basketball?
While versatile for multisport activities, these trainers are primarily designed for running and general athletic use. For sports requiring significant lateral support, like basketball, specialized shoes might be more appropriate.
How often should I clean the shoes?
Clean the shoes as needed, typically after they become visibly dirty from outdoor play or sports activities. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
What is the benefit of the recycled materials used?
Using recycled materials in the upper and a water-saving dyeing process for the insole helps reduce environmental impact by conserving resources and minimizing waste.
How durable is the rubber toe seam?
The wraparound forefoot sole and rubber toe seam are specifically reinforced to enhance durability, making the shoes more resistant to wear and tear from common child activities like dragging toes.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is flat, providing a stable base suitable for children's developing feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure the foot is positioned correctly within the shoe. If still too tight, consider if a larger size is needed, using the size-checking sockliner as a guide.
Discomfort after wear
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and fit. Break them in gradually if they are new. Check for any internal seams or rough spots that might be causing irritation.
Reduced cushioning effect
The EVA midsole and GEL cushioning are designed for long-term use, but their effectiveness can diminish over time with extensive wear. For persistent lack of cushioning, consider if the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan.
Excessive sweating
While the mesh upper is breathable, prolonged intense activity can still lead to sweating. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Clean the insoles periodically to manage odor and moisture.
