Product Information

Full details

The ASICS Contend 9 Trainers are designed for young, active boys needing durable and comfortable footwear for multisport activities. Their key benefit lies in enhanced durability through reinforced construction and a solid rubber outsole, ensuring they withstand regular play. A potential consideration is that they are specifically designed for younger feet, so fit may differ from adult styles. Key features include a cushioned midsole for comfort, a durable outsole for traction, and a lightweight design for agility, with a significant portion of the upper made from recycled materials.

FAQs

What age group are the ASICS Contend 9 trainers for?

These trainers are specifically designed for younger feet, typically categorized for primary school children (GS - Grade School).

Are these shoes suitable for specific sports?

The Contend 9 is a versatile multisport shoe, suitable for general athletic activities, running, and everyday play. They are not specialized for high-performance in a single sport but offer good all-around utility.

How is the durability of these trainers?

Durability is a key feature, with a reinforced toe cap, rubber toe cap stitching, and a solid rubber outsole designed to withstand rigorous play and ensure a tougher, more durable shoe.

What makes the insole eco-friendly?

The insole is made using a solution dyeing method, which significantly reduces water consumption by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to conventional dyeing methods.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and air drying is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure the correct UK size was selected. Check that the laces are not tied too tightly and adjust for a comfortable fit. If the shoe is fundamentally too small, consider exchanging for a larger size.

Traction is poor on certain surfaces

The rubber outsole is designed for optimal traction, but performance can vary based on surface conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from excessive mud or debris. For very slick surfaces, extra caution may be needed.

Inner sole is uncomfortable

The insole is designed for cushioning. If discomfort persists, ensure the shoe is the correct fit. Some users may prefer to use their own specialized insoles, which can be inserted after removing the original one.

Materials showing wear quickly

While designed for durability, excessive or harsh use can accelerate wear. Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose (multisport, casual). Clean and care for the shoes regularly as per the care instructions to prolong their lifespan.

Pros and Cons

  • Enhanced durability for active children
  • Comfortable cushioning for extended wear
  • Good traction for multisport use

  • Lightweight construction for better agility

Cons

  • Specific design for younger feet may not suit all preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: Suitable for boys in primary school. Designed for multisport activities, casual wear, and general athletic use.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Insoles: If removable, the insoles can be taken out and aired to help reduce odor. Mild soap and water can be used for cleaning insoles if necessary, followed by air drying.
  4. Laces: Keep laces clean by spot cleaning or hand washing if needed. Ensure they are tied securely before use.
