FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking or casual wear?
Yes, while designed for running, the ASICS Gel-Contend 9's ample cushioning and comfortable fit make them an excellent choice for walking, daily errands, or standing for long periods.
How often should I replace my ASICS Gel-Contend 9 shoes?
The general guideline for replacing running shoes is every 300-500 miles, or every 6-12 months, whichever comes first. This can vary based on your running style, body weight, and the surfaces you typically run on. Pay attention to signs of wear, such as reduced cushioning or outsole deterioration.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 provides standard arch support suitable for neutral runners and those with normal to high arches. It does not feature specific motion control or stability technologies for overpronation. If you require enhanced arch support, you may consider using custom orthotics with these shoes.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives of the shoes. For cleaning, please refer to the 'Care' section which outlines the recommended gentle hand-cleaning method.
What is the primary difference between GEL™ technology and AMPLIFOAM+ cushioning?
GEL™ technology primarily provides targeted shock absorption in specific areas (like the heel) for softer landings, while AMPLIFOAM+ cushioning offers a more general, responsive, and durable soft feel across the entire midsole, contributing to overall comfort and energy return.
Are these shoes breathable?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Contend 9 features an engineered jacquard mesh upper specifically designed for enhanced breathability. This material allows for improved air circulation, helping to keep your feet cool and dry during your runs.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Check lacing to ensure it's not too tight or too loose. If discomfort persists, reassess shoe size or consult a running specialist to ensure the shoe is the right fit for your foot type and running mechanics.
Shoes feel less cushioned over time
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. If you've logged significant mileage, it may be time to replace them. For newer shoes, ensure proper care and storage as outlined in the care section.
Squeaking sound when walking or running
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the midsole. Remove the OrthoLite™ sockliner and allow both the shoe interior and the sockliner to air dry completely. If the sound persists, it might be due to manufacturing variations, but it generally doesn't affect performance.
Odor buildup in shoes
After each run, remove the OrthoLite™ sockliner and allow the shoes to air out completely. You can also sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out before your next wear. Consider rotating between two pairs of running shoes to allow them to fully dry between uses.
