FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for children with wide feet?
The Gel-Contend 9 is designed for normal arches and standard foot widths. For wider feet, it's advisable to check specific width availability or consider models designed with wider fits.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and air dry.
What is the main benefit of the recycled materials?
Using recycled materials in the upper reduces waste and lowers the environmental impact by decreasing reliance on virgin resources and reducing carbon emissions during production.
How does the paste dyeing process help?
The paste dyeing process for the insole uses approximately 33% less water than traditional dyeing methods, making it a more environmentally friendly approach.
Are these good for running?
The Gel-Contend 9 is a versatile trainer suitable for general athletic activities and everyday wear. For specialized running, ASICS offers performance-oriented running shoe lines.
What age group are these shoes intended for?
These trainers are specifically designed for kids (grade school/younger children).
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted. If the shoe is inherently too small, consider checking the size guide or trying a larger size.
Tread wear on outsole
Some wear is normal with consistent use. If excessive wear is observed prematurely, check for any debris trapped in the sole or ensure the child is not scuffing their feet excessively during activities.
Deodorizing shoes
Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out. Baking soda can be used inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are completely dry before wearing.
