FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-Excite 10 GS sneakers are designed for general active wear for children, including light running, play, and school activities. While they offer comfort and durability, for competitive or very intense running, specialized running shoes might be considered for advanced performance features.
What does 'GS' stand for?
'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that the shoe is sized and designed for children in the elementary school age range.
How do I ensure the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot and refer to ASICS' official sizing chart. Also, try the shoes on with the type of socks your child usually wears and ensure there's a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is generally not recommended for sneakers as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Please refer to the 'Care' section for recommended cleaning methods.
Do these sneakers provide arch support?
ASICS designs its footwear, including children's models, with consideration for foot support. While the Gel-Excite 10 GS offers a supportive fit for general activities, it does not feature specialized orthopedic arch support. If your child requires specific arch support, consult with a specialist or consider custom insoles.
Are they suitable for all seasons?
With their breathable mesh upper, these sneakers are best suited for warmer weather or indoor use. For very cold or wet conditions, specific weather-appropriate footwear would be more suitable.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure the correct size was purchased. Verify proper lacing technique; shoes that are too loose can be tightened, and laces can be adjusted for a better fit. Consider trying them on with different sock thicknesses.
Soles seem to wear out quickly
While the solid rubber outsole is durable, excessive wear can occur with very high activity levels or specific friction-heavy activities. Rotate with other shoes if possible. Ensure shoes are only used for their intended purpose and not, for example, for activities that might scrape the sole excessively.
Foot odor develops easily
Ensure the child wears breathable socks, ideally made of moisture-wicking material. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. If odor persists, use foot powder or a shoe deodorizer, and wash insoles if removable and machine washable (check care instructions on insole).
Toe area shows signs of damage quickly
The toe rubber stitching provides reinforcement, but aggressive toe-dragging or impacts can still cause wear. Monitor play habits. If damage is excessive, consider if a different style of shoe might be more appropriate for very intense activities.

Care
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., old toothbrush). For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth to wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve material integrity.
- Maintenance: Regularly check laces for wear and replace if necessary. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear to ensure continued traction and support.
