FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for a child with wide feet?
The ASICS Contend 9 PS Trainers are designed with a standard fit. While the velcro offers some adjustability, they may not be ideal for exceptionally wide feet. Consider trying them on if possible.
Can these trainers be worn for specific sports like basketball?
These trainers are primarily designed for general athletic activities and everyday wear. For specialized sports like basketball, shoes with specific ankle support and grip features might be more appropriate.
How do I ensure I select the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the ASICS sizing chart. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for comfort and growth.
What is the main difference between these and adult trainers?
These trainers are specifically designed for children, featuring easier closure systems like velcro, lighter weight, and cushioning tailored for young, developing feet and their activity levels.
Can the insoles be replaced with orthotics?
Yes, the cushioning insoles are typically removable, allowing for the insertion of custom orthotics if needed, provided they are of a similar size and shape.
What surfaces are the rubber outsoles best suited for?
The rubber outsoles provide optimal traction on a variety of common surfaces, including pavement, asphalt, grass, and indoor court flooring.
Troubleshooting
Velcro straps not sticking
Ensure the velcro surfaces are clean and free from debris. Gently brush the velcro with a stiff brush if needed.
Shoes smell unpleasant
Remove insoles and air them out. You can also lightly sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Regular cleaning as per care instructions will help prevent this.
Fraying on fabric edges
For minor fraying, carefully trim loose threads with scissors. Ensure regular cleaning to prevent dirt buildup that can exacerbate fraying.
