FAQs
What kind of activities are these shoes best for?
The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 shoes are best suited for daily road running, casual jogs, gym workouts, and general fitness activities, providing comfort and support for low to moderate intensity use.
Are these shoes true to size?
ASICS generally offers consistent sizing. It's recommended to refer to the ASICS sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible, especially if you are between sizes or unsure.
How often should I replace my ASICS Gel-Contend 9 running shoes?
The lifespan of running shoes depends on mileage, running style, and individual wear. A general guideline is to replace them every 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 km) or when you notice a decrease in cushioning or support, or visible wear on the outsole.
Can men wear these shoes?
While the ASICS Gel-Contend 9 is specifically designed for female runners to optimize fit and performance for women's feet, individuals of any gender who find the fit comfortable and supportive for their foot shape can wear them.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Contend 9 shoes?
Clean your shoes by gently brushing off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Air dry them completely away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the benefit of GEL technology in these shoes?
GEL technology is strategically placed in the heel to provide excellent shock absorption and a soft, comfortable feel upon impact, helping to reduce stress on your joints during your run.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to better accommodate your foot's volume. Consider different sock thicknesses. If discomfort persists, reassess sizing.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during runs
The Jacquard mesh upper is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking running socks. Allow shoes to air out thoroughly between uses.
Experiencing foot pain or discomfort after runs
Ensure the shoes are appropriate for your running style and mileage. Check if the shoes are worn out and need replacing. Consult a running specialist or podiatrist if pain persists, as it may indicate an underlying issue.
Slipping or lack of grip on surfaces
Check the rubber sole for excessive wear, especially in high-contact areas. Ensure the running surface is dry and free of debris. If the tread is significantly worn, it may be time to replace the shoes.

Care
To prolong the life and maintain the performance of your ASICS Gel-Contend 9 running shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth, then wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can degrade the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoes.
