FAQs

How do I check if the Asics GT-1000 14 GS trainers fit correctly?

Utilize the integrated size-checking sockliner. Have the child stand on the insole and check for appropriate space at the toe. The shoe should not feel too tight or too loose.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The GT-1000 14 GS features a child-specific last, which is designed to accommodate typical children's foot shapes. For significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on in person if possible.

Can these trainers be used for competitive running?

While they offer good cushioning and support for running activities, they are primarily designed as versatile trainers for kids. For elite or competitive running, adult-specific performance shoes might offer more specialized features.

What does 'GS' stand for in the product name?

GS typically stands for 'Grade School', indicating that these shoes are designed for children in that age and size range.

How much of the shoe is made from recycled materials?

The upper of the GT-1000 14 GS is made from at least 75% recycled materials.

Are the laces easily adjustable for children?

The shoes use standard laces. While they are adjustable, younger children may require assistance from an adult to tie them securely.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?

The Rearfoot GEL Technology is designed to attenuate shock during impact, providing enhanced cushioning and a softer feel underfoot, especially beneficial for active children.

Troubleshooting

Child complains of discomfort

Check the fit using the size-checking sockliner and ensure laces are tied appropriately. Verify that the correct size has been selected and that the shoe is suitable for the activity.

Shoes appear worn quickly

Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose. The reinforced toe seam and durable outsole offer enhanced protection, but excessive scuffing can still lead to wear.

Feet feel too warm or sweaty

The breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation. Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. If excessive sweating persists, consider airing out the shoes after use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied securely but comfortably for the child. The size-checking sockliner can be used to verify the fit before initial use.

Compatibility: Suitable for children engaging in running, multisport activities, and general casual wear. They are designed to be worn with standard socks.

Care: To maintain the shoe's condition:

  • Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
  • For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution, applying gently with a soft brush or cloth.
  • Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  • Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  • Remove insoles for cleaning and drying if necessary, ensuring they are fully dry before reinserting.
