FAQs
What age group are the Contend 9 GS trainers for?
The 'GS' (Grade School) designation typically indicates these trainers are suitable for children, particularly in the primary school age range.
Are these shoes suitable for specific sports?
The Contend 9 GS trainers are designed for general multisport use and everyday activities. They are not specialized for high-performance athletic disciplines but offer good support for casual sports and play.
How do the recycled materials benefit the environment?
Using at least 20% recycled material in the upper helps reduce manufacturing waste and the demand for virgin resources, lowering the product's overall carbon footprint.
What is the benefit of the solution-dyed insole?
The solution dyeing method used for the insole significantly reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by about 45% compared to conventional dyeing processes, making it a more sustainable choice.
How should I clean these trainers?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What kind of fastening do these shoes have?
These trainers feature a traditional lace-up fastening system, allowing for an adjustable and secure fit.
Can these trainers be used for running?
Yes, they are suitable for casual running and general athletic activities due to their durable construction and reliable traction. For dedicated or high-mileage running, specialized running shoes might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting the shoe on. If still tight, check if the size is correct or consider a different model with a wider fit.
Sole becoming detached
For minor separation, a professional shoe repair service may be able to re-glue the sole. For significant detachment, the shoes may need replacement.
Discoloration or scuff marks
Light scuff marks can often be cleaned with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions:
