Asics GT-1000 14 Trainers - Blue - Size UK 5

The GT-1000 14 GS features a child-specific last designed for a comfortable fit, but it is not specifically designed for wide feet. Consult the sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible.

The shoe includes a size-checking sockliner to help confirm the correct fit. Measure your child's foot from heel to toe and compare it with the Asics sizing guide for UK children's sizes.

While designed for active use and general running, they are best suited for training, daily wear, and recreational running. For highly competitive events, specialized racing shoes might be more appropriate.

The wraparound sole increases the durability of the shoe, particularly around the toe area, which is prone to scuffing and wear during active play.

Children's feet grow quickly. It is recommended to check the fit of their shoes every 2-3 months, or more frequently if they complain about discomfort.

The upper is made from at least 75% recycled materials, contributing to sustainability. While the materials are recycled, the overall recyclability of the finished shoe depends on local recycling facilities and their capabilities.

The heel height is flat, providing a stable base suitable for young, developing feet.

Loosen the laces and ensure the child's foot is positioned correctly. If still tight, the child may have outgrown the current size; consider checking the size-checking sockliner for accurate fit.

Remove insoles and allow both shoes and insoles to air out completely after each use. Wash insoles periodically with mild soap and water, ensuring they are dry before reinserting.

The GEL technology and EVA midsole provide lasting cushioning. If the shoes feel less supportive, it may indicate significant wear and tear, and it might be time for a replacement.

Check the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole with a brush to restore grip. If the tread is significantly worn down, the shoes may need replacing.
