FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running and sports?

Yes, the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are designed for active youngsters, featuring GEL cushioning and a TRUSSTIC support system which makes them suitable for running, playground activities, and various casual sports.

What is GEL technology?

GEL technology is ASICS' patented silicone-based cushioning system, strategically placed in the heel to absorb impact and provide superior comfort and shock absorption during movement.

How do I ensure I choose the correct size?

The shoes follow UK children's foot sizing. It's best to measure your child's foot and refer to a size chart. Ensure there's a thumb's width space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe for optimal comfort and growth.

Can these shoes be washed in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives. We recommend cleaning them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air drying.

What is the TRUSSTIC system for?

The TRUSSTIC system is a technology found in the midfoot of the shoe, designed to reduce the weight of the sole unit while retaining the shoe's structural integrity, thus providing enhanced stability during dynamic movements.

Are these trainers durable for active kids?

Yes, the ASICS GEL-1130 trainers feature durable synthetic leather overlays combined with breathable mesh, providing a robust construction designed to withstand the wear and tear of active youngsters.

Is the sockliner removable?

The product description mentions a dope-dyed sockliner. While many ASICS sockliners are removable for airing or custom orthotics, please check the specific shoe to confirm. (Info needed: confirm removability of sockliner).

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you have the correct size. Adjust the laces to achieve a comfortable, snug fit without restricting circulation. Try different lacing techniques if needed.

Foot discomfort after extended wear.

Verify the shoes are the right size and width. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking). If discomfort persists, consult a footwear specialist to check for specific foot support needs.

Shoes get dirty quickly.

Regularly wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth after active play. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush and mild soap solution, then air dry.

Laces come undone frequently.

Teach your child to double-knot their laces. Ensure the laces are tightened properly from bottom to top before tying the bow.

Odd smell developing inside the shoes.

Remove and air out the sockliners if possible. Ensure shoes are thoroughly air-dried after use. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your ASICS GEL-1130 trainers is straightforward. Simply ensure your child's foot fits comfortably inside the shoe, then lace them up securely. Make sure the laces are snug but not too tight, allowing for natural foot movement without slippage.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for kids (age group) and are unisex, making them suitable for both boys and girls. They are versatile for various activities, including running, playing, and general daily wear. The sizing follows standard UK children's foot sizes, so select the size that provides a comfortable fit with adequate room for growth.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS GEL-1130 trainers:

  • Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, wipe the synthetic leather overlays and mesh underlays with a soft, damp cloth. A mild soap solution can be used for tougher stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Sockliner: The dope-dyed sockliner can be removed and air-dried if it becomes damp, helping to keep the interior fresh. (Info needed: confirm if removable).
