FAQs
Are the Gel-Contend 9 shoes suitable for wide feet?
The engineered mesh upper offers some flexibility, but for specific fit requirements, please check the sizing chart or try them on to ensure the width is appropriate for your foot shape.
Can I use these for sports other than running?
Yes, these are excellent for general gym workouts, walking, and light fitness activities thanks to their stability and comfort.
How do I know if the size 7 UK fits correctly?
You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for natural foot expansion during running.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal sockliner is typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
What is the primary difference between AMPLIFOAM and standard foam?
AMPLIFOAM+ is designed to provide better durability and a softer, more flexible cushioning feel compared to traditional midsole materials.
How often should I replace these running shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and the surfaces you use them on.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the laces using the 'heel lock' or 'runner's loop' method to secure the ankle area better.
Mesh becoming dirty or clogged with dust
Gently scrub the affected area with a soft-bristled brush after allowing the mud to dry, then wipe with a damp cloth.
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure you are using the correct size; feet often swell during exercise, so consider an afternoon fitting if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Contend 9 trainers, proper maintenance is essential. Always ensure a secure lace fit that supports the midfoot without restricting circulation. When cleaning, avoid using a washing machine; instead, wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the cushioning foam. To maintain the integrity of the heel counter and midsole, avoid leaving the shoes in high-temperature environments like the trunk of a car.
