FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 is designed for everyday wear and light training. For marathon running, we recommend a specialized ASICS running shoe with advanced cushioning and support features tailored for long distances.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
We do not recommend machine washing as it can damage the shoe's structure and cushioning. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is strategically placed in the heel to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints and enhancing overall comfort.
How often should I replace my Gel-Contend 9 sneakers?
For optimal performance and cushioning, it's generally recommended to replace athletic shoes every 500-800 kilometers of use, or when you notice significant wear or a decrease in cushioning.
Are these shoes good for people with flat feet?
The Gel-Contend 9 offers moderate support. Individuals with specific foot conditions like very flat feet may benefit from consulting with a footwear specialist or considering models with enhanced arch support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of tension. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if break-in time is needed.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The GEL technology may compress after prolonged use. For optimal cushioning, consider replacing the shoes after significant wear (typically 500-800 km of running or equivalent daily use).
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components. Try wearing thicker socks or inserting a different insole.
