FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 are designed for general training and comfort. For dedicated long-distance running, specialized running shoes with more advanced cushioning and support features might be more appropriate.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Your toes should have about a thumb's width of space between them and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without excessive slipping.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some resistance, they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology is strategically placed in the heel to absorb shock effectively, providing a softer landing and reducing stress on the foot and joints during impact.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, typically when they appear dirty. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth can help maintain their appearance.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please refer to the point of purchase or the ASICS official website for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. If new, break them in gradually. Loosening the laces can also help improve immediate comfort.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL technology provides long-lasting cushioning, but it can degrade with very heavy or prolonged use. Consider replacing the shoes if significant wear is apparent or cushioning is noticeably diminished.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe parts or moisture. Try checking for loose insoles or drying the shoes thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size (UK 11.5 for this model) for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 is designed as a general-purpose athletic shoe. It is compatible with various athletic apparel and is suitable for use on standard gym flooring, treadmills, and pavements.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: To clean, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
