Built with a durable design to handle kids’ everyday activities that span from the school yard to the playground, the GT-1000 GS (Grade School) shoe seeks inspiration from our performance running line. Formed with a mesh upper construction, this shoe helps improve airflow to keep feet cool, while the removable sockliner is accented with a printed toe line so that kids and parents can check to confirm that the shoes are the right size.
Following a more sustainable design approach, this shoe also uses fewer resources to color the sockliner. The midsole unit is layered with a combination of EVA foam and GEL technology cushioning that delivers a more responsive stride and improved shock absorption. Additionally, the outsole is paired with a stitched toe and a solid rubber compound, while the medial wrap-up on the outsole targets higher wear areas to improve durability.
Pronation
Designed ForUnderpronation/Neutral
Underpronation
- Foot Type:High arches
- Push Off:The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of foot.
- Considered Injuries:Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, ankle strain.
- How your foot contacts the ground:The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg.
Neutral
-
Foot Type:Normal size arches
-
Push Off:There is even distribution from the front of the foot.
-
Considered Injuries:Less likely due to effective shock absorption, but neutral runners are not immune to injury.
-
How your foot contacts the ground:The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.
