FAQs
What age group are these shoes designed for?
These shoes are specifically designed for kids, indicated by the 'PS' (Preschool) in the model name and the 'kids' age group attribute. They are sized for children's feet, with this particular variant being a UK 4.
How does GEL SCUTOID Technology benefit my child?
GEL SCUTOID Technology provides enhanced shock absorption. This helps to cushion impacts during activities like running, jumping, and playing, reducing stress on your child's joints and improving overall comfort.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, the ASICS Contend 9 PS is well-suited for everyday school wear, playground activities, and general active use. They offer comfort and support for a child's typical daily routine.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot and refer to ASICS' specific size chart for kids' shoes. Always try shoes on with the type of socks they'll typically wear, ensuring about a thumb's width of space at the end of the longest toe for growth and comfort.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, it is generally not recommended to machine wash athletic shoes as it can damage the materials and adhesives. For cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and air dry them away from direct heat.
How often should children's shoes be replaced?
Children's shoes should be replaced as their feet grow, typically every 3-6 months depending on age and growth rate. They should also be replaced if signs of significant wear (e.g., worn-out soles, damaged uppers, reduced cushioning) become apparent, even if they still fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels uncomfortable or causes rubbing.
Check the shoe size for proper fit; ensure there's enough toe room. Also, verify that the child is wearing appropriate socks (not too thick or thin) and that laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight or loose.
Laces frequently come undone during play.
Teach your child to use a double knot when tying their laces. You can also consider replacing standard laces with slightly longer or textured ones if issues persist.
Shoes are getting dirty very quickly.
Establish a regular cleaning routine (e.g., wiping down after active outdoor play). Consider applying a shoe protector spray suitable for the material (Info needed: specific material composition).
Reduced grip on soles after some use.
Inspect the sole for excessive wear. If the treads are significantly worn down, it may be time to replace the shoes. Regular cleaning of the soles can also help maintain existing grip.
