FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-Contend 9 suitable for marathon running?

The Gel-Contend 9 is designed for everyday training and comfort with moderate cushioning. For marathon distances, a shoe with more advanced, specialized cushioning and support features would be recommended.

How does the GEL technology benefit my run?

The GEL technology is placed in the heel to absorb shock during the impact phase of your stride. This helps to reduce stress on your joints and provides a softer landing, contributing to a more comfortable running or walking experience.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash the ASICS Gel-Contend 9 trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the shoe's structure and materials.

What is the primary purpose of the Gel-Contend 9?

The primary purpose of the Gel-Contend 9 is to offer comfort and cushioning for everyday fitness activities, walking, and light running. They are ideal for individuals seeking a supportive and soft shoe for general training.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure and not slip excessively when you walk. Trying them on at the end of the day, when feet are slightly larger, can help ensure a comfortable fit.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

The Gel-Contend 9 provides moderate support suitable for general training. Individuals requiring significant arch support for specific foot conditions may need to consider adding aftermarket insoles.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider the fit in relation to the specified UK size and potential for stretching slightly over time with wear.

Discomfort in the heel

Verify laces are tied correctly to secure the heel. The GEL technology is designed for cushioning; prolonged discomfort might indicate an incorrect fit or the need for a different shoe model for your specific foot type.

Soles appear worn quickly

Check if the shoes are being used for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., intense trail running). For typical training, ensure proper rotation of footwear if used daily.

Upper material scuffing

Be mindful of surroundings during activities. Gentle spot cleaning can often remove minor scuffs. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.
