ASICS GEL-NYC Junior - Black - Size: 4

While they offer cushioning and support, these sneakers are designed for 'urban adventures' and everyday casual wear. For specialized running or high-intensity sports, we recommend footwear specifically engineered for those activities.

It's best to measure your child's foot and compare it to the ASICS size chart. Consider trying them on with the type of socks they typically wear to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, allowing a little room at the toe.

The mesh and suede upper is not explicitly waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, we recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles to protect the materials and prolong the life of the shoes, especially the suede components.

Rearfoot GEL Technology refers to a cushioning system placed in the heel of the shoe. It's designed to absorb shock during impact phases, like when your foot hits the ground, providing a smoother transition and enhanced comfort.

The frequency depends on usage. For daily wear, a quick wipe-down of the rubber outsole and a brush of the suede after each use can help maintain them. A more thorough cleaning can be done as needed, typically every few weeks or once a month, depending on how dirty they get.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. New shoes often require a short 'break-in' period; wear them for shorter durations initially.

Check the outsole for dirt or debris accumulation. Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any slick substances that might be reducing traction. Avoid walking on extremely wet or oily surfaces.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals on suede.
