FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-Contend 9 suitable for marathon running?

The Gel-Contend 9 are designed for everyday training and moderate activities. For marathon running, which involves high mileage and sustained impact, a shoe with more advanced cushioning and support features specifically designed for long-distance running would be more appropriate.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water to gently clean the mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.

Can I replace the existing insole with my own orthotics?

Yes, the insoles in the ASICS Gel-Contend 9 are typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or supportive insoles.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology in the heel provides excellent shock absorption, cushioning the impact during each stride and helping to reduce stress on your feet and joints.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the ASICS Gel-Contend 9 are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for comfort during exercise, which means they will allow air circulation but not keep water out.

What kind of activities are these trainers best for?

They are ideal for everyday training, walking, light jogging, gym workouts, and general fitness activities. They offer good comfort and support for moderate impact.

How long can I expect these trainers to last?

The lifespan of trainers depends on usage frequency, intensity, and individual gait. For regular training, they typically last between 300-500 miles or about 6-12 months of consistent use.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If persistent discomfort, consider if the size is correct or if insoles need adjustment.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL technology cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. For continued support, consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage or wear, typically between 300-500 miles for running shoes.

Soles showing signs of wear

This is normal with regular use. If the outsole wear is excessive and affecting grip, it may be time to consider replacing the trainers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 Trainers require no specific setup. Upon receiving them, ensure they are the correct size. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow them to adapt to your foot's natural shape, a process known as breaking in.

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed as versatile athletic footwear. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. For individuals requiring specialized arch support or orthotics, the existing insoles can typically be removed to accommodate custom inserts. They are suitable for use on various surfaces including treadmills, indoor tracks, pavement, and gym floors. They are not recommended for trail running or highly technical terrain.

Care:

To maintain the performance and appearance of your ASICS Gel-Contend 9 Trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Remove insoles to aid drying if necessary.
  3. Laundering: Do not machine wash or machine dry, as this can damage the materials and structure of the shoe.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
