ASICS Gel-Contend 9 Trainers - Kids - Black - Pink - 1.5 UK

The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 Trainers feature a standard width. While the laces and touch 'n' close strap offer some adjustability, they may not be ideal for children with significantly wide feet. It's recommended to try them on for a proper fit.

Refer to the sizing chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. Measure your child's foot from heel to toe and compare it to the UK sizing guide. It's often best to measure feet in the afternoon and ensure there's a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning system. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed, and always air dry.

The Gel-Contend 9 is primarily designed as a versatile running shoe and everyday trainer for children, offering comfort, support, and durability for a range of athletic activities and general wear.

The trainers feature a shock-absorbing insole, designed to reduce impact forces during activities like running, which helps to provide greater comfort and protect young feet.

The lifespan of the shoes depends on the frequency and intensity of use. For active children, regular wear and tear is expected. Proper care and cleaning can help prolong their usability.

Ensure the shoe is the correct size and width. Check that the laces are tied securely but not too tightly, and that the touch 'n' close strap is fastened correctly. Verify the insole is positioned properly.

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. Note that extreme wetness can reduce traction on any footwear.

Clean the hook and loop parts of the strap with a stiff brush or a damp cloth to remove lint and dirt that may be preventing a secure closure. Avoid using fabric softener on the strap.
