FAQs
Is the ASICS Contend 9 PS machine washable?
No, it is recommended to clean these shoes by hand with a damp cloth to protect the cushioning materials.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Contend 9 PS features an easy-fit design, but fit can vary based on individual foot anatomy.
What does PS stand for in the product name?
PS stands for 'Pre-School', indicating the sizing and design are tailored for younger children.
How often should I replace these shoes?
For active children, it is generally recommended to inspect the wear on the outsole and cushioning every 4-6 months.
Can these be used for sports like soccer?
While durable, these are primarily running and lifestyle shoes; they do not have the specific traction or protection needed for pitch sports.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the shoe on
Ensure the laces or closure system are fully loosened and use a shoehorn or pull the heel tab if applicable.
Outer sole appears dirty
Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to gently scrub the outsole, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Shoe feels too tight
Re-adjust the lacing tension throughout the eyelets to allow for more volume across the midfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the ASICS Contend 9 PS, verify that the size UK 5 fits with a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe. For care, gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning materials or damage the upper fabric. Avoid machine washing, as this can compromise the integrity of the adhesive and foam components.
