FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 GS are designed for normal foot arches and may not be ideal for very wide feet. It is recommended to try them on or check sizing guides carefully.
Can these trainers be used for serious sports training?
These trainers are best suited for everyday wear, school, and light athletic activities. For specialized sports training, performance-oriented ASICS models are recommended.
How do I clean the insoles?
If the insoles are removable, gently hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before placing them back in the shoes.
What does 'GS' stand for in the product name?
GS typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that these shoes are designed for children in that age and size range.
What is the benefit of the paste dyeing process for the insole?
The paste dyeing process used for the insole reduces water usage by approximately 33%, making the manufacturing process more environmentally friendly.
What materials are used in the upper part of the shoe?
At least 20% of the main upper material is made from recycled raw materials to help reduce waste and carbon emissions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoes are new, they may need a short break-in period. Try wearing them with thinner socks.
Soles showing signs of wear quickly
While designed for durability, intense or very rough play can accelerate wear. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (everyday wear, light activity).
Discoloration or stains
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains, consult a shoe care guide for fabric trainers.
