FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the ASICS Contend 9 GS trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for general sports and casual wear and are best kept away from heavy rain or puddles.

How do I clean the insoles?

If removable, the insoles can be hand-washed with a mild soap and water. Rinse them thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.

What is the benefit of the reinforced toe cap?

The reinforced toe cap enhances the durability of the shoe, protecting the front of the trainer from scuffs and wear, which is particularly beneficial for active children.

How much recycled material is used in these shoes?

The main upper of the shoe is made with at least 20% recycled material, contributing to waste reduction and lower carbon emissions.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

It is generally recommended to hand-wash these trainers with a damp cloth and mild soap. Machine washing, especially for the main shoe structure, is not advised as it can damage the materials and construction. Laces can typically be machine washed if placed in a mesh bag.

What age group are these trainers designed for?

These trainers are designed for younger children, specifically falling into the 'kids' age group, and are designated as 'GS' (Grade School) or Primary School size.

What is the heel height?

The heel height for these trainers is flat.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure the laces are adjusted properly. Loosen them slightly for more room or tighten for a more secure fit. Verify that the correct size has been selected, as children's feet grow quickly.

Traction seems poor on certain surfaces

Check the outsole for debris or excessive wear. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. If the shoe is significantly worn, consider replacement.

Water ingress during wet conditions

These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. For wet weather, consider specialized waterproof footwear. Allow the shoes to dry completely after exposure to moisture.

Material discoloration or damage

Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive sunlight. Clean gently as per care instructions. Reinforced areas are designed for durability, but extreme force can still cause damage.
