FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 are designed for general training and everyday running. For marathon distances, you might consider models with more advanced cushioning and support features tailored for long-distance performance.
How do I ensure the best fit?
It's recommended to try the shoes on, preferably at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. This guide specifically refers to a UK size 10.
What is the primary benefit of the Jacquard mesh upper?
The Jacquard mesh upper's main advantage is its enhanced air circulation, which helps to keep your feet cool and dry during your runs and workouts.
How durable is the AMPLIFOAM cushioning?
AMPLIFOAM cushioning is designed to be durable, providing consistent support and shock absorption over time. However, like all cushioning, its performance will gradually decrease with extensive mileage and wear.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to wash ASICS Gel-Contend 9 shoes in a washing machine. Cleaning with a damp cloth and air drying is the preferred method to maintain the shoe's integrity and lifespan.
What kind of surfaces are these shoes best for?
These trainers are best suited for road running, treadmill use, and general gym training. The rubber sole provides reliable traction on most common athletic surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks or allow a break-in period if the shoes are new.
Reduced cushioning over time
The AMPLIFOAM cushioning is designed for durability, but performance may decrease with extensive use. Consider replacement after significant mileage.
Feet feel hot and sweaty
While the Jacquard mesh offers breathability, extreme conditions might still lead to heat. Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material.
Slipping during activity
Check the outsole for excessive wear. Clean any debris from the sole. For slippery surfaces, ensure the shoe is appropriate for the conditions.
