FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 trainers offer a standard fit. While the laces and Velcro allow for some adjustment, they may not be ideal for children with significantly wide feet without trying them on first.
How do I clean the trainers if they get very dirty?
For heavy dirt, gently clean the uppers and sole with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely. Do not machine wash.
What is the main benefit of the Gel cushioning?
The Gel cushioning system in the midsole is designed to absorb shock effectively, providing comfort and reducing impact stress on the child's feet and joints during physical activity.
Can these shoes be used for all types of sports?
The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 trainers are versatile for general running, training, and everyday sports. However, for highly specialized sports requiring specific support or features (e.g., basketball, tennis), dedicated sports shoes might be more appropriate.
What is the purpose of the touch 'n' close fastening?
The touch 'n' close (Velcro) fastening, in addition to laces, offers an easy and quick way for children to secure their shoes, promoting independence while ensuring a snug fit.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the front of the shoe when they are standing. The heel should feel secure and not slip excessively.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the laces for a looser fit or ensure the correct size has been selected. The touch 'n' close strap can also be adjusted.
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. Worn-out outsoles may need replacement.
Inside of shoe feels rough or irritating
Check for any loose threads or debris inside the shoe. Ensure socks are worn properly.
