FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?
Yes, the durable outsole is designed to handle various court surfaces, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor recreational play.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The shoes are designed with stability in mind, but they are neutral trainers. If your child requires specific orthotic support, you can replace the removable sockliner with a custom insert.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace them every 6 to 9 months for regular players, or sooner if the outsole tread pattern becomes noticeably worn down.
Can these be used for running?
While comfortable, these are specifically designed for court sports involving lateral movement. For long-distance running, a dedicated running shoe is recommended for better forward-motion mechanics.
How do I determine the right size?
ASICS sizes are standard, but it is best to measure the foot at the end of the day when it is slightly swollen. Use the ASICS size guide to match the UK size 4.5 correctly.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels slippery on court
Check the outsole for accumulated dust or debris and wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Insole feels uncomfortable
Ensure the insole is laid flat and centered within the shoe; replace with an appropriate sport-specific insole if additional arch support is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Game trainers last as long as possible, keep them away from extreme heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the EVA foam. When cleaning, avoid machine washing; instead, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the laces are tightened appropriately to engage the full stability benefits of the upper construction, and check the outsole periodically for debris buildup, which can reduce grip. Proper fit is crucial for kids; ensure there is approximately a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe.
