FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The ASICS GEL-1130 trainers are designed with a standard fit. While they offer good support, children with particularly wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to check the fit carefully or consider alternative models if wide feet are a concern.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the heel is designed to absorb shock upon impact, providing superior cushioning and comfort for the child's feet during activities like running and jumping.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available with the product details. It's best to measure your child's foot length and compare it with the provided measurements for the most accurate fit.
Can these trainers be used for sports like basketball?
The GEL-1130 PS is primarily designed for everyday wear and light athletic activities. While they offer good support and traction, they may not provide the specialized features required for high-impact sports like basketball.
What does 'PS' stand for in GEL-1130 PS?
PS typically stands for 'Pre-School' in ASICS sizing, indicating that these models are designed for younger children.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for durability and optimal traction on various surfaces, making it suitable for the wear and tear of children's daily activities.
Troubleshooting
Child complains of discomfort
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. Check that laces are tied properly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Consider using thicker or thinner socks depending on the child's preference.
Traction seems poor
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing grip. Ensure the shoes are worn on appropriate surfaces for which they are designed.
Mesh material appears dirty
Gently wipe the mesh with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used carefully. Allow to air dry completely.
