The CONTEND™ 8 GS (Grade School) shoe is designed for young feet.  .

A jacquard mesh upper stretches with the foot's natural motion and creates a comfortable fit. Meanwhile, the synthetic stitching on the overlays helps create a more supportive foothold.

The midsole features GEL™ technology and AMPLIFOAM™ cushioning. These technologies help by creating a softer feel underfoot.

Toecap, toe rubber stitching, and solid rubber outsole increase durability and lengthen the shoe's lifespan.
