FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS GEL-1130 Youth Trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning for everyday activities and light play, they are not specialized performance running shoes.
How do I find the right size?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it with the ASICS sizing chart. Pay attention to the UK youth sizing provided. Consider the width of the foot as well.
Can these trainers be washed in a machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and cushioning technology. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap for best results.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the sole provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on the feet and joints, which contributes to overall comfort during wear.
Are these trainers durable for active kids?
Yes, they are constructed with man-made materials intended to be durable for everyday wear and light activities common for children.
What does 'Y2K revival' mean in relation to these shoes?
It refers to the resurgence of fashion trends from the late 1990s and early 2000s. These trainers feature design elements characteristic of running shoes from that era.
Can these be worn by boys and girls?
Yes, these trainers are designed as unisex for youth, suitable for both boys and girls.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust for a more comfortable fit. If still too tight, consider if the size is correct or if thicker socks are being used.
Soles feel stiff
New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to soften.
Discoloration or scuffs
Use a clean, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For tougher marks, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically designed for synthetic materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied with a secure knot. Consider double-knotting if the issue persists.
