The ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers are engineered to support active children through their daily routines and playtime. The integration of GEL technology cushioning within the foam midsole provides superior shock absorption, making every step, jump, and run more comfortable and reducing impact on growing feet. The breathable mesh upper actively promotes airflow, preventing overheating and maintaining a cool, dry environment inside the shoe. Durable synthetic overlays strategically reinforce the structure, protecting against wear in high-stress areas and extending the shoe's life. Children benefit from a secure lace fastening and a padded collar that work together to cradle the foot, offering stability and preventing uncomfortable rubbing. The reliable rubber outsole ensures consistent grip across various surfaces, from playgrounds to school corridors, enhancing safety and confidence during movement. These features collectively make the GEL-1130 an excellent choice for children needing a robust, comfortable, and stylish trainer for school, play, and casual activities.
Lacing: Ensure laces are tied snugly but not too tightly, allowing for comfortable movement. For active children, consider double-knotting to prevent laces from coming undone during play.
Fit Check: Have the child stand up. There should be approximately a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without excessive slipping.
Age Group: Specifically designed for kids, making them suitable for a wide range of child ages.
Gender: These trainers are unisex, appropriate for both boys and girls.
Activities: Ideal for daily wear, light sports, playground activities, school, and casual outings.
Cleaning: For general dirt and scuffs, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. For tougher stains, gently scrub with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) on the sole and synthetic overlays.
Drying: Always air dry trainers at room temperature. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to warp or adhesives to weaken.
Odour Control: If odours become an issue, remove insoles (if removable) and allow them to air out. You can also sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight, then shake it out in the morning.
Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve their materials and shape.
