FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The ASICS GEL-NYC GRADE SCHOOL trainers are designed with a standard width. While the lacing system allows for some adjustment, they may not be ideal for children with significantly wide feet. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult a sizing guide.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a slightly damp cloth or a dedicated suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Always allow suede to air dry completely away from heat.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?

The Rearfoot GEL technology in these trainers is designed to absorb shock during impact, providing enhanced cushioning and comfort for the child's feet during running, jumping, and other physical activities.

Can these trainers be worn for sports like basketball?

While these trainers offer good traction and cushioning for general activities, they are primarily designed for everyday wear and light running. For specific sports like basketball that require specialized ankle support and grip, dedicated sports shoes are recommended.

What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?

The lifespan of the trainers depends on the frequency and intensity of use. With proper care and for everyday activities, they are built to be durable. Regular cleaning and avoiding extreme conditions will help prolong their life.

Are these trainers waterproof?

These trainers are not explicitly waterproof. They feature breathable mesh and suede materials, which are not designed to repel water. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture, but not for heavy rain or wet environments.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your child's foot. Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your child's foot if unsure. Adjust lacing for a more secure or relaxed fit.

Discomfort during wear.

Check that the laces are tied correctly and not too tight. Ensure the insole is properly seated. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for the child's foot shape or activity level.

Suede material appears dull or dirty.

Use a clean, dry suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dust. For more persistent marks, a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by brushing once dry.

Mesh area shows signs of wear.

Minimize excessive friction. Clean gently with a damp cloth and a soft brush if necessary. Avoid snagging the mesh on sharp objects.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and suede areas with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt on mesh, a soft brush can be used carefully. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Suede Care: For suede sections, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. If the suede gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Lining and Insoles: If removable, the insoles can be taken out and hand-washed with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
  • Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris, ensuring optimal grip.
  • Drying: Always air dry the trainers. Never place them in a washing machine or dryer, or use direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
