FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the ASICS GEL-1130 PS are designed for everyday wear and active play, offering lasting comfort with GEL technology and a soft foam midsole.

How do I clean these shoes effectively?

You can clean these shoes by gently wiping them with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush. Always air dry them away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.

Can my child use these shoes for running sports?

While these shoes are inspired by running aesthetics and feature GEL technology and TRUSSTIC support, they are primarily designed for general active use and comfort for kids, rather than specialized competitive running. They are excellent for daily running and play.

What is 'GEL technology' and what does it do?

GEL technology is an advanced cushioning system placed in the heel of the shoe. It's designed to absorb impact shock during walking, running, and jumping, providing superior comfort and reducing stress on the joints.

What age range is the 'PS' in ASICS GEL-1130 PS for?

The 'PS' designation typically refers to 'Preschool' or 'Primary School' children, indicating these shoes are specifically sized and designed for younger kids.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the ASICS GEL-1130 PS are a unisex design, suitable for both boys and girls.

What materials are used in the construction of the shoes?

The shoes feature a combination of textile and synthetic materials for the upper, including synthetic leather overlays and breathable mesh underlays, and a synthetic sole with a grippy rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel loose or unstable on my child's foot.

First, ensure the laces are tied securely and snugly. The TRUSSTIC support system helps with stability, but proper lacing is crucial. Also, double-check that you have the correct size; shoes that are too large will always feel loose.

The white areas of the shoes get dirty very quickly.

White shoes naturally show dirt more easily. Implement a routine of wiping them down with a damp cloth after active play. For tougher stains, use a mild shoe cleaner designed for synthetic and textile materials, and a soft brush for gentle scrubbing.

My child complains of discomfort after wearing the shoes for a while.

Verify the shoe size again, as discomfort often stems from an improper fit (too small or too large). Also, check the type of socks your child is wearing; thick or bunched-up socks can cause pressure points. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, restricting circulation. The GEL technology should provide ample cushioning, so persistent discomfort might indicate a sizing issue.

  • Enhanced comfort for active kids due to GEL technology and foam midsole.

  • Secure and stable fit provided by the TRUSSTIC support system and lace fastening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting your child ready to go in their ASICS GEL-1130 PS is straightforward:

  1. Open Lacing: Loosen the laces completely to create ample room for the foot.
  2. Insert Foot: Guide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is comfortably seated at the back.
  3. Adjust Laces: Pull the laces snugly but not too tightly, ensuring a secure fit without causing discomfort. Teach your child how to tie a double knot to prevent laces from coming undone during play.
  4. Check Fit: Ensure there's a thumb's width of space between your child's longest toe and the end of the shoe. The padded collar should feel supportive around the ankle, not restrictive.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for:

  • Age Group: Kids (specifically 'PS' for preschool/primary school age).
  • Gender: Unisex design, suitable for both boys and girls.
  • Activities: Ideal for everyday wear, running, playing, and general active use.
  • Sizes: Available in various UK children's sizes (e.g., Size 12 UK, Size 13 UK, Size 11 UK, Size 1 UK, Size 2 UK).

Care

Proper care will help extend the life and appearance of your ASICS GEL-1130 PS shoes:

  • Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub the textile and synthetic upper. Wipe clean with a separate damp cloth.
  • Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, especially on the white areas, a shoe cleaner specifically designed for athletic shoes can be used.
  • Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  • Avoid Washing Machines: Do not put these shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as it can damage the cushioning, glues, and overall structure.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
