FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Contend 9 series typically offers a standard width. For children with wider feet, it's recommended to try them on in person or consult specific sizing guides if available, as some models might offer a wider fit option.

How do I know if I've selected the correct size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should not slip excessively, and the foot should feel comfortably snug.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS Contend 9 Trainers. Machine washing can damage the cushioning technology, adhesives, and materials. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system designed to absorb shock effectively during impact, providing a softer landing and reducing stress on the joints.

How often should I replace my child's trainers?

Trainers should typically be replaced every 6-12 months, depending on the child's activity level and the wear and tear on the shoes. Look for signs of worn-out soles or diminished cushioning.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the ASICS Contend 9 Trainers are not waterproof. They feature a breathable mesh upper that allows for airflow, which means they are not designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Child complains of discomfort

Check if the shoes are the correct size and width. Ensure the hook-and-loop straps are adjusted properly, not too tight or too loose. Examine the inside for any debris or rough seams.

Hook-and-loop straps losing stickiness

Clean the hook-and-loop surfaces gently with a brush or damp cloth to remove lint and debris. Avoid excessive moisture.

Shoes appear dirty after cleaning

Ensure you used an appropriate cleaner for the shoe materials. For stubborn dirt on mesh, a soft brush with mild soap and water is recommended. Always rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The ASICS Contend 9 Trainers are designed for general athletic and casual wear. They are suitable for walking, running, school activities, and everyday play. They are not specifically designed for specialized sports like basketball or tennis, which may require different types of footwear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
