FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 trainers are designed for general wear and light athletic activities. While they offer good cushioning and support, they may not provide the specialized features required for serious or competitive running.
How do I know if this is the right size?
This specific guide is for a UK 6.5. It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to ASICS sizing charts or try them on in-store to ensure a proper fit.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but the shoe materials are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to slightly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may soak the shoes.
What is the main benefit of GEL technology?
GEL technology is ASICS' signature cushioning system. It is strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock effectively, providing comfort and reducing impact on the joints during movement.
How durable is the outsole?
The durable rubber outsole is designed for optimal traction and longevity for everyday use and light athletic activities.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and affect the cushioning system. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What age group are these trainers best for?
These trainers are listed as suitable for kids and are designed with features that benefit young, active individuals.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, check if the size is appropriate for the child's current foot size. Consider using thinner socks if necessary.
Traction seems poor
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn.
Insoles feel uncomfortable
The insoles are designed for comfort, but some users may prefer aftermarket insoles. Ensure any replacement insoles fit correctly within the shoe.
