FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the specialized adhesives and structural reinforcements. Use a damp cloth to clean them.
What does GS stand for?
GS stands for Grade School, indicating the shoe is specifically designed for school-aged children's foot shapes and sizes.
Can these be used for sports?
They are ideal for general physical education, playground play, and light sports activity, though they are not specialized cleats for competitive field sports.
Do these provide arch support?
The Contend 9 GS offers neutral cushioning and support suitable for standard child foot development.
How do I choose the correct size?
Use the ASICS size guide, measuring from the heel to the longest toe. Remember to account for growth room.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting the shoe on
Loosen the laces fully from the bottom eyelets before attempting to insert the foot.
Excessive scuffing on the toe area
While the reinforcement is designed to handle this, wipe the area with a damp cloth immediately to keep the rubber in good condition.
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Ensure the laces are tied snugly, or consider a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to lock the heel in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Contend 9 GS trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the child has about a half-inch of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Securing the Fit: Always lace the shoes properly to avoid heel slippage and maximize the support of the internal heel counter.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole. Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesives used for reinforcement.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the materials to warp or crack.
