FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running races?

The ASICS Contend 9 GS are designed for general running and multisport activities. While they offer good cushioning and traction, they may not provide the specialized features or lightweight construction required for competitive racing.

How do I clean the trainers?

Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking them. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

What does 'GS' stand for in Contend 9 GS?

GS typically stands for Grade School, indicating that this shoe model is designed for primary or elementary school-aged children.

How much recycled material is used?

At least 20% of the main upper material of the shoe is made from recycled material.

Are these waterproof?

These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made for general wear and sports, and may not offer protection against significant water exposure.

What is the benefit of the solution dyeing method for the insole?

The solution dyeing method used for the insole reduces water consumption by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to conventional dyeing methods, making it a more environmentally friendly process.

Can these be used for other sports like basketball?

The Contend 9 GS trainers offer good general traction and support suitable for various casual sports. For highly specific sports like basketball that require specialized ankle support and court grip, dedicated basketball shoes would be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtight. If the shoe is consistently too tight, consider if a larger size is needed or if the lacing technique can be adjusted for a wider fit.

Traction seems poor

Check the outsole for embedded debris like mud or small stones. Clean the sole thoroughly. Ensure the surfaces being used are suitable for the shoe's grip capabilities.

Sole becoming detached

Minor detachment might be repairable with appropriate shoe adhesive. For significant detachment, the shoes may need to be replaced, especially if still under warranty.

Discomfort during activity

Verify the shoe size and fit. Ensure socks are worn and are appropriate for athletic activity. The cushioned midsole should provide comfort; if discomfort persists, it might indicate an issue with the shoe's suitability for the specific activity or foot shape.
