Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GT-1000 14 GS trainers are designed for active kids seeking a versatile, comfortable, and durable shoe for daily activities. Their key benefit lies in accommodating growing feet with a child-specific last and size-checking sockliner, ensuring a proper fit. A potential consideration is that while durable, they are primarily suited for general active use rather than highly specialized sports. These trainers feature a lightweight mesh upper, GEL technology in the heel for shock absorption, and a durable wraparound forefoot sole.

FAQs
How do I know if these shoes are the right size for my child?
Each shoe includes a size-checking sockliner. Have your child stand on the sockliner with their heel at the back. If their longest toe is touching or overlapping the front line, the shoe is likely too small. There should be a thumb's width of space.
Are these shoes suitable for competitive running?
The GT-1000 14 GS are designed for general active use and comfort. For children participating in serious or competitive running, specialized running shoes with advanced features might be more appropriate.
How often should I check the fit of my child's shoes?
Children's feet grow quickly. It is recommended to check the fit of their shoes at least every 2-3 months, or more frequently if they complain of discomfort.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand wash with mild soap and cool water for best results.
What does 'GS' stand for in the product name?
GS typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that this model is designed for children in that age and size range.
What is the benefit of the recycled materials?
Using recycled materials in the upper helps reduce waste and the environmental impact associated with producing new materials. The solution-dyed insole process reduces water usage and carbon emissions during manufacturing.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture, but not for prolonged exposure to water.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the laces are loosened before putting the shoes on. Check if the size-checking sockliner indicates the child has outgrown the shoes.
Feet feel uncomfortable after use
Verify the shoes are the correct size and fit. Ensure the sockliner is dry and properly seated. Allow feet to rest if they are tired from extensive activity.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. Check for excessive wear on the sole pattern.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear
Avoid activities that excessively scuff or tear the mesh. While reinforced, the mesh is still a softer material compared to synthetic overlays.
