Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GELCONTEND 9 trainers are designed for adult men seeking a reliable, comfortable shoe for daily runs, walking, or treadmill workouts. Featuring a sophisticated blend of shock-absorbing GEL technology and responsive AMPLIFOAM cushioning, these trainers prioritize support and breathability through a specialized jacquard mesh upper. While they provide excellent durability and a soft underfoot feel, they are primarily engineered for neutral runners and may not offer the specific stability features required for those with severe overpronation.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The GELCONTEND 9 is built for neutral foot types. If you have flat feet and require significant arch support, you may need to replace the stock insole with a custom orthotic.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the heat and agitation can degrade the adhesive and the structural foam.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes like these should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Are these good for wide feet?
The jacquard mesh has some natural give, but if you typically require 'Wide' or 'Extra Wide' sizing, this standard width may feel slightly snug.
Do these provide enough support for cross-training?
They are ideal for cardio-based cross-training, but for heavy weightlifting where a firm, non-compressible base is required, you may prefer a flatter lifting shoe.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight or restricted
Re-lace the shoes using a 'window lacing' technique to relieve pressure on the top of the foot while maintaining a secure fit.
Insole slides during activity
Remove the ORTHOLITE insole, ensure the interior of the shoe is clean and dry, and ensure the insole is pressed firmly flat against the bottom.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Ensure the mesh upper is free of mud or dirt buildup which can block airflow. Wear moisture-wicking synthetic socks instead of cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify your sizing using the UK scale (this model is a size 7.5 UK). Upon arrival, ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension, allowing enough room for the foot to swell slightly during exercise.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the foam.
- Maintenance: Periodically remove the ORTHOLITE insole to shake out debris and allow it to air out separately.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the cushioning materials.
