FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Contend 9 GS trainers are designed with a standard fit. While they offer a cushioned feel, individuals with exceptionally wide feet might find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible.

What age group are these trainers intended for?

These trainers, specifically the GS (General School/Grade School) model, are designed for younger children, typically in the primary school age range.

How do the sustainable features benefit the environment?

The use of at least 20% recycled material in the upper reduces waste and carbon emissions. The solution-dyed insole method significantly cuts down on water usage (approx. 33%) and carbon emissions (approx. 45%) during manufacturing.

Can these shoes be used for specialized sports like basketball?

While versatile for multisport activities, these trainers are general-purpose athletic shoes. For sports requiring specific ankle support or grip, such as basketball, specialized footwear might be more appropriate.

How should I clean the shoes if they get very muddy?

For heavy dirt, remove excess mud with a brush, then use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse the cloth and wipe again. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.

What is the heel height of these trainers?

The ASICS Contend 9 GS trainers have a flat heel height, which is optimal for stability and comfort during various activities.

Does the "Black/Green" colorway mean the entire shoe is black with green accents?

The description indicates 'Black' as the primary color family and 'Green' as the secondary color. This typically means the main body of the shoe is black, with green detailing or accents.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting the shoe on, and then re-tighten to a comfortable fit. Check if the correct size has been selected, as children's feet grow rapidly.

Traction seems poor on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For very wet or slippery surfaces, additional caution may be needed, as with any footwear.

Signs of wear on the toe cap

The reinforced toe cap is designed for durability, but excessive dragging may still cause wear over time. Ensure proper fit to minimize toe dragging.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable construction suitable for active kids
  • Comfortable cushioning for all-day wear
  • Good traction for various surfaces
  • Lightweight for agility
  • Incorporates sustainable manufacturing practices

Cons

  • Primarily designed for primary school age, may not suit older children
  • Specific colorway (Black/Green) may not appeal to all
  • Lace-up fastening requires some dexterity for younger children

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied securely but comfortably for your child.

Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of activities including casual wear, school, and multisport training. They are designed for children and are ideal for primary school ages.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
