FAQs

What age group are the CONTEND 9 GS trainers designed for?

The 'GS' in CONTEND 9 GS stands for Grade School, indicating they are designed for primary school-aged children.

Are these shoes suitable for specific sports?

Yes, they are designed for general training and active play, offering good traction and cushioning suitable for activities like running, school sports, and everyday wear.

How do I clean these trainers?

Wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What does 'recycled material' mean in the shoe's construction?

At least 20% of the main upper material is made from recycled sources, helping to reduce waste and environmental impact.

How does the solution dyeing method benefit the environment?

This method significantly reduces water consumption (by approx. 33%) and carbon emissions (by approx. 45%) during the insole's dyeing process compared to traditional methods.

Can these trainers be used by girls as well as boys?

While listed as 'Male' for this specific variant, the design and features of the CONTEND 9 GS are generally suitable for any child requiring durable and comfortable trainers. Always check sizing carefully.

What is the primary benefit of the reinforced toe cap?

The reinforced toe cap significantly increases the shoe's durability, protecting it from scuffs and wear common during active play.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure the laces are properly loosened before putting the shoe on, then re-tighten for a secure fit. Check if the UK size is appropriate for the child's foot measurement.

Traction seems poor

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. Ensure the shoes are being used on appropriate surfaces.

Wear and tear on toe cap

While reinforced, aggressive dragging of feet can cause wear. Ensure the child is not consistently scuffing the toe area during play. Minor scuffs can be wiped clean.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Built for durability with reinforced components to handle active children.
  • Incorporates sustainable practices with recycled materials and water-saving dyeing techniques.
  • Offers good cushioning for comfort during play and physical activities.
  • Provides reliable traction for safety and performance on different surfaces.
  • Lightweight construction aids in agility and speed for active young users.

Cons

  • Sized specifically for children (GS - Grade School), not suitable for adults.
  • The black colour might show scuffs more readily than lighter colours.
  • While durable, extreme wear and tear from very rough play might still impact longevity over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box and require no specific setup. They are compatible with typical children's activewear and school uniforms. To care for your ASICS CONTEND 9 GS Trainers, we recommend the following:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
