FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Contend 9 GS trainers are designed with a standard fit for children. If your child has particularly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit or consult with a shoe fitting specialist.
How do I clean the shoes?
Use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior clean. For the insole, remove it and clean with mild soap and water, then air dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the heel height?
The ASICS Contend 9 GS trainers have a flat heel height, suitable for optimal stability and comfort during activity.
What does 'GS' stand for?
'GS' typically stands for Grade School, indicating that these shoes are designed for children in this age and size range.
Can these shoes be used for specific sports like basketball?
These are classified as multisport trainers, meaning they offer versatility for various activities. However, for highly specialized sports like basketball, dedicated basketball shoes might offer more specific performance features like ankle support and court grip.
How much recycled material is used?
The main upper material of the shoe is made from at least 20% recycled material, contributing to reduced waste and carbon emissions.
What is the benefit of the solution dyed insole?
The solution dyeing method used for the insole reduces water consumption by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to traditional dyeing methods, making it a more sustainable choice.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or too loose
Ensure the correct UK size has been selected. Adjust lacing to provide a snug but comfortable fit. Consider the width of the foot in relation to the shoe's design.
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded debris like mud or pebbles. Clean the outsole with a brush. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for the surface being used on.
Signs of premature wear on the toe
While reinforced, excessive dragging of the toes can still cause wear. Ensure the child is using a proper running or walking gait. The reinforced toe cap is designed to extend the life of the shoe under normal play conditions.
