FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running races?
The GEL-1130 PS trainers are designed for general play and comfort. While they offer good cushioning and support, they are not specialized racing shoes and may lack the advanced features for competitive running.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should fit snugly without slipping. It's recommended to measure your child's feet regularly as they grow.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The mesh upper offers breathability but is not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, they are not designed for prolonged exposure to wet conditions and may take time to dry.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the heel is designed to absorb shock during impact, providing superior cushioning and comfort for the wearer, especially during activities involving jumping and running.
Is the TRUSSTIC system important for children's feet?
Yes, the TRUSSTIC support system enhances stability by controlling torsion, which helps to keep the foot stable and comfortable during movement. This is beneficial for developing feet.
How often should I clean these trainers?
Clean the trainers as needed, especially after significant play or if they become visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning with mild soap and water is recommended to maintain their appearance and condition.
What does 'PS' in GEL-1130 PS stand for?
In ASICS sizing, 'PS' typically stands for 'Pre-School', indicating that this specific model is designed for younger children in that age range.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Loosen the laces and allow the child to wear them around the house to break them in. If still uncomfortable, consider a larger size.
Discomfort during activity
Check that laces are tied appropriately – not too tight, not too loose. Ensure the child's socks are suitable and not causing friction. The GEL-1130 is designed for comfort, but individual fit can vary.
Traction seems poor
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris like mud or small stones. The outsole's grip may diminish if significantly worn down.
Material scuffing or wear
While durable, synthetic overlays can scuff. For minor scuffs, a damp cloth may help. For significant wear, it indicates heavy usage and may require replacement.
