FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual running?
The ASICS GEL-1130 GS is designed primarily for lifestyle wear and light activities. While it features GEL cushioning for comfort, it is not engineered for high-performance running. For serious runners, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.
How do I know if I'm choosing the right size?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the ASICS sizing chart. As sizing can vary between models, checking the specific measurements for the GEL-1130 GS is advised. A snug fit is important for support.
Can these shoes be washed in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure of the shoe. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap instead.
What does 'GS' stand for in the product name?
'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that this model is designed for children in that age and size range.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The materials used (synthetic leather, textile) offer some resistance to light moisture, but the shoes are not waterproof. They are not designed for wear in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is the benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning technology is strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock during impact, providing a softer landing and reducing stress on joints. This enhances overall comfort during daily wear and physical activity.
How do I clean the purple and silver colorway?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the purple synthetic leather and textile areas. For the silver accents and sole, a gentle brush or cloth can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could affect the finish.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust them for a more comfortable fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected, as children's foot sizes can vary.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from excessive mud or debris. The outsole is designed for grip on typical surfaces; check for wear and tear if performance significantly degrades.
Discoloration or material wear
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Follow the care instructions provided for cleaning to maintain the shoe's appearance and material integrity.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a similar durable type. Consider using lace locks for added security and longevity.
