The Contend 9 PS (Pre-School) shoe is designed for young feet. Each shoe in the collection features a hook and loop fastener that helps keep feet stabilized. Details like the toe reinforcement, toe rubber stitching, and solid rubber outsole increase durability and lengthen the shoe's lifespan. Additionally, ASICS’ CUB MATCH™ sockliner is printed with a tiger caricature that helps kids identify the right and left shoe.
