FAQs

What type of running is the Gel-Contend 9 best for?

The Gel-Contend 9 is best suited for everyday running, particularly on roads or treadmills, and for shorter to medium distances where cushioning is a priority.

Does this shoe offer arch support?

The Gel-Contend 9 provides a comfortable and cushioned fit, with the GEL technology in the heel absorbing impact. While it offers a good base, it is not specifically designed as a motion control or stability shoe for significant overpronation.

How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Contend 9?

To clean, use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild detergent to remove dirt. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Can I wear these for gym workouts?

Yes, the ASICS Gel-Contend 9 is suitable for gym workouts, offering good cushioning and a comfortable fit for various exercises.

What is the main benefit of GEL technology in this shoe?

The GEL technology in the heel is designed to provide excellent shock absorption during impact, leading to a softer landing and increased comfort.

How does the sizing work for this product?

The sizing follows standard UK adult foot measurements. It's recommended to consult a sizing chart or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try loosening the laces and re-tying them to allow for a more personalized fit. For initial wear, use them for short periods to allow the shoe to break in.

Reduced cushioning over time

GEL technology provides lasting cushioning, but like all footwear, performance can decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if you notice a significant reduction in comfort or support after considerable mileage.

Soles are slippery on wet surfaces

The outsole is designed for general traction. For extremely wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean from any debris that might affect grip.
