FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The Contend 9 GS offers good cushioning for comfort, but it's primarily designed for everyday wear, school activities, and general sports rather than specialized long-distance running performance.

How do I ensure I select the correct size?

It is best to measure your child's foot length and compare it with ASICS sizing charts. Trying them on in-store is also recommended for the most accurate fit.

What does 'GS' in the product name stand for?

'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School', indicating that these shoes are designed for children in that age and size range.

Can the insoles be removed?

Yes, the sockliner is designed to be removable, allowing for easier cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics if needed.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for general wear and are water-resistant to a degree, but should not be submerged in water.

What is the benefit of the solution-dyed sockliner?

The solution dyeing process uses significantly less water and reduces carbon emissions compared to traditional dyeing methods, making it a more environmentally friendly approach.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure the laces are properly adjusted. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or width, as fit can vary between individuals.

Traction seems poor on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from excessive mud or debris. The traction is optimized for typical playground and athletic surfaces.

Material shows early signs of wear

While designed for durability, excessive abrasion can occur with very rough play. Ensure appropriate use for the shoe's intended purpose.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced durability for active children.
  • Good traction for various activities.
  • Environmentally conscious material choices.
  • Comfortable cushioning for all-day wear.
  • Lightweight for better agility.

Cons

  • May require trying on for a precise fit.
  • Limited breathability compared to some performance shoes.
  • Style may be more functional than fashionable for some.
  • Primarily designed for kids, not adult sizing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup as they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with standard children's sock sizes. To care for your ASICS Contend 9 GS Trainers, it is recommended to clean them regularly. Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt and mud. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials and construction.
