FAQs
What age group is the GT-1000 13 PS designed for?
The PS (pre-school) designation typically indicates suitability for younger children, often in the toddler to early elementary age range, with a UK size 12 generally fitting children aged around 6-8 years old.
How do I know if the size 12 UK is correct for my child?
Have your child try the shoe on with the type of socks they typically wear. There should be about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe. Ensure the heel doesn't slip excessively.
Can these shoes be worn for running competitions?
Yes, the GT-1000 13 PS is a stability trainer functional for various distances and designed with cushioning and support, making them suitable for training and many types of children's running events.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made from breathable materials suitable for athletic activity and general wear.
How often should I check the fit of my child's shoes?
It's recommended to check the fit of children's shoes every 2-3 months, as children's feet can grow rapidly. Look for signs of discomfort or shoes becoming too tight.
What is the primary benefit of GEL technology in these shoes?
The GEL technology in the midsole provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on the feet and joints, which contributes to overall comfort during activity and everyday wear.
How do the durability features (outsole wrap and toe stitching) help?
These features are strategically placed to reinforce areas that experience high wear and tear, such as the medial forefoot and the toe. This helps the shoes last longer, especially with active use.
Troubleshooting
Child finds shoes uncomfortable
Ensure the hook and loop straps are adjusted correctly for a snug but not too tight fit. Check if the size is correct; feet can grow quickly. Consider using a different sock thickness.
Straps are difficult to fasten
Check for any debris or lint caught in the hook and loop fastener. Ensure the strap is aligned correctly before pressing down firmly.
Show signs of premature wear
While designed for durability, excessive wear in specific areas might indicate an unusual gait or activity. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose.
