Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, verify your child's UK foot size before ordering, as fit is critical for stability shoes. When caring for your ASICS trainers, avoid machine washing, which can damage the GEL inserts and adhesive. Instead, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to remove dirt from the surface. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or becoming brittle.
