The ASICS GEL-1130 PS are engineered to support active kids through their daily explorations and play. The combination of GEL technology in the heel and a soft foam midsole ensures excellent shock absorption, making every leap and bound more comfortable. This is particularly beneficial for high-impact activities like running, jumping, and playground adventures, minimizing fatigue and providing a cushioned landing.
The TRUSSTIC support system acts as a reliable stabilizer, especially important for developing feet. It helps maintain the shoe's structural integrity during lateral movements, offering a secure feel whether your child is changing direction quickly during a game of tag or simply walking across uneven surfaces. The breathable mesh underlays prevent overheating, keeping feet cool and dry even during extended periods of activity.
For example, during a typical school day, these shoes provide the comfort needed for classes, recess, and after-school activities. The grippy rubber outsole offers confident traction on sidewalks, schoolyards, and grassy areas, reducing the risk of slips. Their durable synthetic overlays mean they can withstand the rigors of daily use by energetic children, making them a practical choice for everyday wear.
Getting your child ready to go in their ASICS GEL-1130 PS is straightforward:
Open Lacing: Loosen the laces completely to create ample room for the foot.
Insert Foot: Guide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is comfortably seated at the back.
Adjust Laces: Pull the laces snugly but not too tightly, ensuring a secure fit without causing discomfort. Teach your child how to tie a double knot to prevent laces from coming undone during play.
Check Fit: Ensure there's a thumb's width of space between your child's longest toe and the end of the shoe. The padded collar should feel supportive around the ankle, not restrictive.
These shoes are designed for:
Age Group: Kids (specifically 'PS' for preschool/primary school age).
Gender: Unisex design, suitable for both boys and girls.
Activities: Ideal for everyday wear, running, playing, and general active use.
Sizes: Available in various UK children's sizes (e.g., Size 12 UK, Size 13 UK, Size 11 UK, Size 1 UK, Size 2 UK).
Proper care will help extend the life and appearance of your ASICS GEL-1130 PS shoes:
Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub the textile and synthetic upper. Wipe clean with a separate damp cloth.
Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, especially on the white areas, a shoe cleaner specifically designed for athletic shoes can be used.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Avoid Washing Machines: Do not put these shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as it can damage the cushioning, glues, and overall structure.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
