FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for competitive running?
While the ASICS GEL-1130 offers good support and cushioning for general running and training, they are not specifically designed for elite or competitive running. For specialized athletic events, consider shoes engineered for that specific discipline.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart, which typically includes instructions for measuring your child's foot length. Ensure there is a small amount of growing room at the toe.
What is the purpose of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the heel is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system designed to absorb shock upon impact, providing a softer landing and reducing stress on the foot and joints.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The trainers offer some protection against light moisture due to their materials, but they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles.
How often should I check my child's shoe size?
It is recommended to check your child's shoe size every 3-6 months, as children's feet can grow quickly. Look for signs of discomfort or shoes that have become too small.
What does the TRUSSTIC support system do?
The TRUSSTIC system is a midfoot support structure that provides stability by preventing excessive twisting of the foot, helping to guide the foot through a more natural gait cycle.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the laces are loosened before putting the shoes on and then tied to a comfortable, secure fit. Check that the correct size has been selected, as children's feet grow rapidly.
Soles are slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole is designed for traction, but effectiveness can vary on very wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean, as dirt can reduce grip.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a soft brush very carefully. Allow to air dry completely.
