ASICS Kids Trainers - Gel-Contend 9 - Black - Pink - UK 9

These trainers are specifically designed with a focus on running and general athletic activities. While they offer good traction and cushioning, they may not provide the specific support needed for sports requiring significant lateral movement, such as basketball or tennis.

It's recommended to measure your child's feet regularly, as they grow quickly. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. The secure fastening system allows for adjustment, but the base size is crucial.

The primary advantage is the combination of comfort through its shock-absorbing insole and a secure, adjustable fit provided by the laces and touch 'n' close strap, making them ideal for active children who are running and playing.

No, these trainers should not be washed in a washing machine. Cleaning with a damp cloth and air drying is the recommended method to preserve their structure and materials.

The 'touch 'n' close' system refers to a hook-and-loop fastener, commonly known as Velcro. It works with laces to provide an extra layer of secure fastening that is easy for children to operate independently.

These trainers feature a flat heel, which is generally preferred for running as it provides a stable base and encourages a natural running gait.

Ensure the laces are properly tightened and the touch 'n' close strap is secured. Check if the size is correct; children's feet grow rapidly. Consider if the activity requires more specific footwear with higher arch support.

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, mud, or debris that may be obstructing the tread pattern.

Clean the hook-and-loop surfaces of the strap gently with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove lint and dirt. Ensure the strap is fully aligned when fastening.
