FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These trainers are designed as stability shoes with cushioning for everyday wear and light activities. While they can be used for casual running or playing, they are not specifically engineered for competitive or high-mileage running.

What age group are these trainers for?

The product description specifies 'GS (infant)' and 'kids', indicating they are suitable for infants and young children. The sizing relates to children's UK shoe sizes.

How do I clean the shoes if they get very dirty?

For general cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe the uppers and a brush for the sole. Avoid machine washing or drying. For stubborn dirt, spot clean with a mild detergent and water, then allow to air dry completely.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology in the heel is designed to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on the foot and joints, which contributes to lasting comfort during wear.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The trainers are made from materials like 'other materials' and textile, which are breathable but not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture but should not be submerged in water.

Can these trainers be used for sports day or PE?

Yes, their supportive design, good traction, and cushioning make them suitable for general school sports activities and physical education classes.

What does 'GS' stand for in ASICS GEL-1130 GS?

'GS' typically stands for Grade School, indicating that these trainers are sized for school-aged children.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or constricting

Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot, and re-tie them with less tension. Ensure the correct size has been selected; consider the width of the child's foot.

Traction seems poor on certain surfaces

Check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth and brush. The shoe's traction is designed for a balance of grip and durability, so performance may vary slightly on extremely smooth or wet surfaces.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure the shoes are properly broken in by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Verify that the socks worn are appropriate and not bunching up inside the shoe. The GEL technology should provide ample cushioning; if persistent discomfort occurs, check the sizing and fit.

  • May be too structured for children who prefer a very flexible shoe.
