FAQs
Are these ASICS GEL-1130 trainers suitable for running sports?
While providing excellent cushioning and support for everyday activity, these trainers are primarily designed for general daily wear and casual play. For specialized running sports, ASICS offers other models engineered with specific features for high-performance athletic demands.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot length and compare it to ASICS's size chart. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.
What is the TRUSSTIC system?
The TRUSSTIC system is a technology found in the midfoot area of the shoe. It helps to stabilize the foot, preventing excessive twisting during movement and improving overall support and gait efficiency.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Please follow the 'Care' instructions provided to clean the shoes manually.
What is the benefit of GEL technology in these shoes?
ASICS GEL technology strategically placed in the heel provides superior shock absorption. This helps to reduce impact during activities like running and jumping, offering a softer landing and enhanced comfort.
Are these shoes available in other colors for kids?
This particular variant is offered in a Black and Pure Silver colorway. While the ASICS GEL-1130 series may have other color options in different variants, this specific product is as described.
Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. Check if the laces are worn and consider replacing them if they are too slick or frayed.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even tension across the foot. Verify the size is correct for the child's foot by checking for adequate toe room (about a thumb's width).
A squeaking sound occurs when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped under the insole or friction between shoe components. Remove the insoles and allow them and the inside of the shoe to air dry completely. If the sound persists, it might be due to normal shoe wear.
The sole seems to have poor grip.
Check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or accumulation of dirt/debris. Clean the sole thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the tread is significantly worn down, the shoes may need to be replaced for optimal safety.
