The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 trainers are built for consistent, everyday running. Their combination of GEL™ technology and AMPLIFOAM+ cushioning ensures a smooth, comfortable ride, absorbing impact effectively during footstrike. This makes them ideal for daily mileage, recovery runs, or even just long walks where comfort is paramount.
The engineered mesh upper adapts to your foot, providing a secure yet flexible fit that minimizes irritation, even on longer distances. Runners will appreciate the breathability, which helps regulate temperature and reduce moisture build-up. The durable rubber outsole offers reliable grip on standard road surfaces and light trails, making them versatile for various urban and park environments. While they excel in comfort and durability for moderate paces, serious speed work might benefit from a more specialized, lightweight racing shoe. These trainers are perfect for those who prioritize a well-cushioned and supportive experience for their regular running routine.
The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 trainers are designed for immediate wear. Simply unbox, adjust laces for a secure fit, and you're ready to go.
These trainers are specifically designed for neutral runners and underpronators. This means they are best suited for individuals whose feet do not roll inward excessively (overpronate) or roll outward excessively (supinate) during their gait cycle. They provide ample cushioning and basic support, but lack advanced stability features. The product is listed under "gender": "Female", indicating it's primarily marketed towards women.
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Contend 9 trainers:
Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and cold water solution with a cloth or soft brush. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can cause materials to shrink or crack. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Odour Control: If odours develop, remove the OrthoLite™ sockliners and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
