FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running competitions?
The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 trainers are designed for general everyday wear and light athletic activities. For competitive running, specialized running shoes offering advanced cushioning and support might be more appropriate.
What does 'paste dyeing process' mean for the insole?
The paste dyeing process is a method used to color the insole material that uses significantly less water compared to traditional dyeing techniques, reducing the environmental impact.
How durable are the toe reinforcement and rubber stitching?
These features are specifically added to increase the lifespan of the shoe, making them more resistant to abrasion and wear from activities like crawling, running, and kicking.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and structure.
What is the main benefit of the recycled upper material?
Using recycled materials in the upper construction helps to reduce waste and lower the carbon emissions associated with manufacturing new materials.
Is this shoe good for wide or narrow feet?
These trainers are designed for children with normal arches and standard foot widths. For significantly wide or narrow feet, a custom fitting might be necessary.
What is the intended age group for these shoes?
These shoes are categorized for kids and are designed with children's feet development and activity levels in mind.
Troubleshooting
Shoe seems too tight or loose.
Ensure the correct size is being used. Adjust the laces for a snug but comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider the foot shape compatibility.
Excessive wear on the toe or sole.
While designed for durability, very aggressive play can accelerate wear. Ensure the child is using the appropriate footwear for highly demanding activities. Check for proper lacing to minimize foot movement inside the shoe.
Discoloration or material damage after cleaning.
Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing/drying. Always use a mild soap and water solution and air dry away from direct heat sources.
