FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
While the Gel-Game series is durable, this specific 'Clay' variant features a tread pattern optimized for clay; use on hard courts may result in premature wear of the outsole.
How do I determine the right size?
This model is sized in UK youth measurements. It is recommended to measure the child's foot with socks on and compare against the ASICS sizing chart.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required by the user.
Is this shoe machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the adhesive used in the construction. Spot cleaning is recommended.
What is the primary benefit of the Trusstic technology?
The Trusstic technology increases the shoe's torsional rigidity, which prevents the shoe from twisting during rapid side-to-side movements on the court.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation on the outsole
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear the clay from the tread grooves to maintain traction.
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Re-lace the shoes using a runner's knot to secure the heel and ensure proper midfoot tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance from your ASICS Gel-Game sneakers, ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the eyelets to maintain a secure lockdown of the midfoot. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, gently wipe the outer mesh and PU surfaces with a damp cloth after each use to remove clay dust. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the foam and adhesive materials over time.
