FAQs

What age group is the ASICS Contend 9 PS Sneaker designed for?

The 'PS' in the name stands for Pre-School, so these sneakers are specifically designed for young children in the pre-school age group.

What does GEL SCUTOID Technology do?

GEL SCUTOID Technology is an advanced cushioning system with a 3D geometry designed to provide enhanced shock absorption, protecting young feet from impact during active play.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and the integrated cushioning technology. Hand-wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap is advised.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

For the best fit, measure your child's foot length and compare it to the ASICS sizing chart. For the UK size 4 model, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your child's longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear and active play?

Yes, these sneakers are specifically designed for the active lifestyle of pre-school children, making them ideal for everyday wear, playground activities, nursery, and light running.

How often should my child's sneakers be replaced?

For active pre-school children, shoes often need to be replaced every 4-6 months due to growth and wear and tear. Regularly check for signs of wear on the sole and upper, and ensure the fit is still comfortable.

Troubleshooting

My child complains their feet hurt or the shoes feel uncomfortable.

First, re-check the shoe size to ensure it's still appropriate for your child's growing feet. Ensure laces or straps are not too tight or too loose. Also, check the type of socks being worn; thick or bunched socks can cause discomfort. Allow for a break-in period if new.

The sneakers get dirty very quickly and are hard to clean.

For best results, clean the shoes regularly after use, especially if they've been used in muddy or dusty conditions. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for the upper and a brush for tougher dirt on the sole. Prompt cleaning prevents dirt from setting in.

The sole seems to be wearing out faster than expected.

For active pre-school children, sole wear can be rapid due to constant running, jumping, and play on various surfaces. Monitor the wear patterns; if one area is wearing excessively, it might indicate a specific gait or activity. It's often normal for active kids' shoes to show significant wear within a few months, indicating a need for replacement.

My child has difficulty putting the shoes on by themselves.

Ensure the laces or straps are fully loosened before attempting to put the shoe on. If the shoe has a tongue, make sure it is pulled forward. You can also teach your child to use a small shoehorn if needed. With practice, they should become more independent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup and Fit

  1. Measure Foot: Before fitting, ensure your child's foot is properly measured to confirm a UK size 4 fit. Look for ASICS' official sizing guides if unsure.
  2. Loosen Fasteners: When putting on the sneakers, loosen the laces or straps sufficiently to create a wide opening.
  3. Insert Foot: Slide your child's foot in, ensuring the heel is seated comfortably at the back of the shoe.
  4. Secure Fit: Fasten the laces or straps firmly but comfortably. There should be approximately a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. Ensure the shoe is not too tight or too loose, allowing for natural foot movement without slippage.

Compatibility

This ASICS Contend 9 PS sneaker is specifically designed for pre-school children who require a UK size 4 shoe. Its features, including enhanced shock absorption and durable construction, are tailored to support the active lifestyle and developing feet characteristic of this age group. It is not intended for older children or adults.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: To maintain the sneakers' appearance and integrity, gently wipe any dirt or mud from the upper and sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow the sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers), which can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry these sneakers, as this can compromise the structural integrity, cushioning technology, and overall durability of the shoe.
  • Regular Inspection: Periodically check the soles for excessive wear and the upper for any tears or damage to ensure continued safety and support for your child's feet.
