FAQs

What age group are these ASICS Contend 9 PS sneakers for?

These sneakers are specifically designed for kids, indicated by the 'PS' (Preschool) in the name and the 'age_group: kids' attribute. This particular pair is a UK size 5.

How does GEL SCUTOID Technology benefit my child?

GEL SCUTOID Technology features a unique 3D geometry that is designed to provide improved shock absorption. This helps cushion impacts during running, jumping, and playing, offering greater comfort and reducing stress on a child's developing joints.

Can these shoes be used for sports activities?

Yes, with their enhanced shock absorption and durable construction, they are well-suited for a variety of active pursuits, general play, and everyday wear for children.

How should I clean the multicolor upper of the sneakers?

For general cleaning, gently wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a mild detergent solution and a soft brush, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

What is the material of the shoe's upper?

The upper design draws inspiration from several ASICS GEL series (GEL-NIMBUS, GEL-KUSHON, GEL-KINETIC, and GEL-KINSEI). The specific material composition is not provided, but it is engineered for durability and support typical of ASICS athletic footwear.

Are these shoes true to size?

ASICS children's footwear generally runs true to size. For the best fit, it's recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it against an ASICS size chart if you are unsure.

Are these sneakers breathable for active kids?

Info needed: While the upper design is inspired by performance series, specific breathability features are not explicitly detailed. However, ASICS typically designs its athletic footwear with materials that promote adequate airflow for comfort during activity.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Verify the correct size; these are UK 5 for kids. Ensure socks aren't too thick. If new, allow a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate sizing.

Shoes are getting dirty quickly.

Regularly wipe the multicolor upper with a damp cloth after wear. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and soft brush, then air dry. Consider applying a shoe protector spray suitable for sneakers.

Soles seem less supportive or cushioning feels flat.

This can be a sign of normal wear and tear, especially for active kids. Ensure shoes are not being used beyond their intended lifespan for optimal performance. Info needed: ASICS general lifespan recommendations.

Multicolor areas are fading.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning agents. Always air dry in the shade. Info needed: Specific recommendations from ASICS regarding colorfastness.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: For general dirt, wipe the upper gently with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water and a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently scrub the affected area. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, especially on the multicolor sections.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials and cause colors to fade. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
  4. Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. Sprinkling baking soda inside the shoes overnight can help absorb smells.
  5. Inspection: Regularly check the soles for excessive wear, which can affect traction and cushioning. Check the upper for any tears or loose stitching.
