FAQs
What age group are these trainers for?
These trainers are designed for children with active lifestyles, featuring a child-specific last for optimal fit and comfort for growing feet.
Are these shoes suitable for specific sports?
Yes, the GT-1000 14 GS is a versatile trainer suitable for running, multisport activities, and general active use.
How does the GEL technology work?
The GEL technology in the heel acts as an excellent shock absorber, attenuating impact during the landing phase of movement to provide increased cushioning.
Are these shoes eco-friendly?
Yes, the upper is made from at least 75% recycled materials, and the insole uses a solution dyeing process that reduces water consumption and carbon emissions, contributing to sustainability.
How do I clean my Asics GT-1000 14 GS trainers?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat and do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the benefit of the wraparound forefoot sole?
The wraparound forefoot sole, along with the rubber toe seam, is designed to enhance the durability of the shoe, making it more resistant to wear and tear from active play.
Can I replace the insole?
The EVA insole provides cushioning and moisture management. While not typically designed for removal, if necessary, it can often be carefully lifted out. Ensure it is fully dry before reinserting.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the correct size has been selected. The laces can be adjusted for a more personalized fit. If still too tight, consider a larger size or check if the size-checking sockliner is correctly positioned.
Feet feel damp after use
The breathable mesh upper and EVA insole are designed for moisture management. Ensure the shoes are thoroughly dried after each use. If excessive moisture persists, consider alternative sock materials.
Wear and tear on the toe seam
The GT-1000 14 GS features a reinforced rubber toe seam for added durability. If excessive wear is observed beyond normal use, inspect for any manufacturing defects.
Laces won't stay tied
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Consider replacing the laces with a grippier material if they frequently come undone.
