The ASICS GEL-1130 Kids Trainers are engineered to support young, active feet across a variety of activities.
Impact Absorption: The integrated GEL technology in the heel is crucial for runners, absorbing ground impact and reducing stress on joints. This allows kids to run longer and more comfortably.
Stability: The TRUSSTIC support system prevents the shoe from twisting excessively, which is vital for maintaining balance and preventing injuries during quick changes in direction or uneven terrain.
Breathability: During vigorous play or running, feet can get warm. The breathable mesh upper ensures constant airflow, helping to manage moisture and keep feet feeling fresh.
All-Day Comfort: The combination of a lightweight foam midsole and GEL cushioning provides comfort that lasts through school, playground activities, and casual wear.
Durability: Kids' shoes often face tough conditions. The synthetic overlays are not just for support; they add significant resistance to wear and tear, making these trainers a robust choice for daily adventures.
Style Versatility: With their retro-futuristic design, featuring white, silver, and subtle purple accents, these trainers easily pair with various casual and sporty outfits, making them a practical and stylish choice for any day.
Secure Fit: The classic lacing system and padded collar ensure a snug and secure fit, which is essential for both performance and preventing discomfort during prolonged use.
Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets.
Fit Adjustment: Have your child wear athletic socks and try on both shoes. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug, secure fit without being too tight. There should be about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
First Wear: Encourage your child to walk around in the shoes for a few minutes to ensure comfort and proper fit before prolonged use.
Activity: Ideal for running, general athletic activities, school, and everyday casual wear.
Terrain: Suitable for indoor surfaces, playgrounds, and paved outdoor areas.
Sock Pairing: Best worn with athletic socks for optimal moisture wicking and comfort.
Regular Cleaning:
Remove Loose Dirt: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently remove any loose dirt or mud from the upper and sole.
Spot Clean: For stains, mix a small amount of mild detergent with cold water. Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the solution and gently wipe the affected areas.
Mesh Areas: Be gentle when cleaning mesh to avoid damage.
Deep Cleaning (if necessary):
Remove insoles and laces. Hand wash them separately in mild soapy water.
Do not machine wash or tumble dry the shoes, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
Drying:
Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature.
Avoid direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight, hair dryers) as these can cause materials to crack or shrink.
Stuffing the shoes with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
Storage:
Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Keep them away from extreme temperatures to preserve material integrity.
