Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-1130 GS Trainers are designed for active children seeking comfortable and supportive footwear for everyday adventures. Their key benefit lies in the GEL technology heel, providing excellent cushioning for lasting comfort. A potential consideration is that these trainers are styled after a 2008 running shoe, so while updated, they retain a retro aesthetic which may not suit all fashion preferences. This guide covers their features, use, and care.

FAQs
What age group are these trainers for?
These trainers are designed for children, specifically indicated as GS (infant/kids) sizes. Please refer to the size chart for precise age and foot size correlations.
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure your child's foot from heel to the tip of their longest toe and compare it to the ASICS sizing chart provided. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space at the end for growth.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The ASICS GEL-1130 GS Trainers are best suited for general wear, school, and light athletic activities. For high-impact or specialized sports, dedicated sports shoes may offer better performance and support.
How do I clean the silver material?
Wipe the silver material with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a very mild soap and water solution. Avoid excessive scrubbing or harsh cleaning agents to prevent discoloration or damage.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the heel provides enhanced cushioning, absorbing shock during impact and offering greater comfort, especially during activities like running and jumping.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole offers good traction, the trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect the materials.
Troubleshooting
