FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for children with wide feet?
The GT-1000 14 GS features a child-specific last, which generally offers a good fit. However, for very wide feet, it is always recommended to try them on or check specific width measurements if available.
How often should I check the size using the sockliner?
It's recommended to check the fit regularly, especially during periods of rapid growth. A good practice is to check at least once a month, or whenever you notice the child might be outgrowing their shoes.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials, cushioning, and structural integrity. Hand wash gently using mild soap and water.
What is the benefit of the recycled materials used?
Using recycled materials in the upper and a sustainable dyeing process for the insole helps reduce waste and lowers the environmental impact by decreasing carbon emissions and water consumption during manufacturing.
How durable is the rubber toe seam?
The wraparound forefoot sole and rubber toe seam are specifically designed to enhance durability, providing extra protection against scuffs and wear typical of active children's play.
What type of activities are these trainers best for?
These trainers are ideal for a variety of everyday activities, including walking, running, playground play, and general sports. They offer versatility and comfort for an active lifestyle.
Does the GEL technology in the heel need special care?
The GEL technology is integrated within the midsole and requires no special care beyond the general cleaning instructions for the shoe. It is designed for long-lasting shock absorption.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight after a short period
Utilize the size-checking sockliner to confirm if the child's foot has outgrown the shoe. Adjust lacing for a more accommodating fit if the shoe is still appropriately sized.
Discomfort or rubbing on the heel or toe
Ensure the laces are properly tied for a secure fit without being too tight. Check the size-checking sockliner again. If the issue persists, consider the possibility of a pressure point from the reinforced toe seam or GEL placement.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Rinse lightly with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing.
Outsole traction seems reduced
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. Ensure the shoe is used on appropriate surfaces.
