FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for cross-training?

The ASICS Contend 9 trainers are designed for general athletic activities and everyday wear. While they offer good support and traction, they may not provide the specialized features required for intense, sport-specific cross-training.

How much recycled material is used in the shoe?

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

What makes the insole sustainable?

The insole uses a solution dyeing method, which reduces water consumption by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by about 45% compared to conventional dyeing.

Can these trainers be washed in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.

What is the primary age group for these shoes?

These shoes are designed for children, specifically categorized under 'kids' and often suitable for primary school ages, indicated by 'GS' (Grade School) or 'PS' (Pre-School) in related product lines.

How durable is the outsole?

The outsole is made of solid rubber, designed for durability and optimal traction on various surfaces, making it suitable for active children.

Troubleshooting

Shoes appear too tight

Ensure the laces are fully loosened before putting the shoe on. Once on, adjust laces for a snug but not constricting fit. The shoe may also need a short break-in period.

Traction seems poor on a specific surface

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that could be affecting grip. Ensure the surface itself is not excessively wet or slippery.

Discoloration on the upper material

If discoloration is due to dirt, follow the care instructions for cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
