Product Information

Full details

These ASICS Contend 9 GS trainers are designed for active kids who need comfortable and durable footwear for running and general sports. The key benefit is the combination of a cushioned midsole for superior comfort and a robust rubber outsole for excellent traction. A potential consideration is that these are specifically sized for kids' feet, so adult users would need to look at different models.

FAQs

What age group are these trainers designed for?

These trainers are designed for kids, with sizing specifically tailored for children's UK feet (e.g., Size 5 UK Kids).

Are these shoes suitable for all sports?

The ASICS Contend 9 GS trainers are suitable for general sports, running, and everyday wear. For highly specialized sports requiring specific features (e.g., court shoes), other models might be more appropriate.

How do I clean mud off the trainers?

Use a damp cloth to wipe away loose dirt. For tougher mud, a soft brush with mild soap and water can be used. Always rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Can these trainers be used in wet weather?

They offer some protection from light moisture due to their construction, but they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles.

What is the main advantage of the outsole design?

The durable rubber outsole is designed for optimal traction, providing a reliable grip on various surfaces to ensure stability during athletic activities.

Is the cushioning suitable for long distances?

The cushioned midsole provides superior comfort, making them suitable for extended wear and moderate running distances for children. For marathon training, more advanced cushioning might be considered.

Where can I find other color or size options?

The ASICS Contend 9 GS comes in various colors and sizes. You can check the product listings for available options, as sibling models like the GT-1000 series offer different color families and features.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK kids' size. For minor fit adjustments, try different lacing techniques. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.

Traction seems poor on certain surfaces.

Check the outsole for embedded debris like stones or mud. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. Ensure the shoes are not overly worn; if so, it may be time for a new pair.

Discomfort during wear.

Verify the correct size and ensure laces are tied appropriately for a secure yet comfortable fit. Break in the shoes with short periods of wear before longer activities.

Odors developing.

Remove insoles and air out the shoes regularly. Use a deodorizing spray or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup as they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with standard athletic activities and suitable for most weather conditions, though prolonged exposure to extreme wetness is not recommended.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent odor or material degradation.
  4. Insoles: If removable, insoles can be taken out for separate cleaning or airing.
