Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The ASICS Contend 9 features a standard fit. The lace and touch 'n' close system allows for some adjustability, but if your child has significantly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on for comfort and fit.
How do I clean the black and green colour combination?
For the black and green colourway, use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the uppers. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water. Always air dry.
What is the primary sport these shoes are intended for?
These shoes are primarily designed for running and general athletic activities for children.
Can the laces be removed?
The laces are functional and intended for use with the touch 'n' close strap to provide a secure fit. They are not designed to be easily removed.
What age group are these shoes best suited for?
The ASICS Contend 9 is designed for kids, typically falling within the 'kids' age group for footwear, suitable for early school years through to pre-teen activities.
Is the sole non-marking?

What is the heel type?
The ASICS Contend 9 features a flat heel, which is beneficial for stability during running and sports.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the laces for a more precise fit, and ensure the touch 'n' close strap is fastened securely. If the size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded debris that might be affecting grip. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for the surface being used.
