FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are designed for light jogging and walking. They provide great cushioning for moderate activity, though dedicated marathon runners might prefer specialized high-mileage models.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual athletic footwear size, allowing for a small amount of space at the toe.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and the cushioning technology. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
What is the primary difference between this and the Gel-Contend 8?
The Gel Contend 9 includes iterative updates to the upper design and cushioning geometry to improve overall fit and stability.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The Gel Contend 9 generally fits true to size with a standard width. If you typically require wide-fit shoes, you may need to look for specific 'Wide' width variants.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during initial use
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to balance snugness and circulation, or consider using the additional eyelet for a 'runner's loop' to secure the heel.
Visible dirt accumulation on the upper mesh
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the mesh weave without forcing grime deeper into the fabric.
Slippage on smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsole is free from debris, such as small pebbles or mud, which can affect the traction pattern's contact with the ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel Contend 9 trainers last, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you are wearing your regular athletic sock thickness when trying on the trainers to achieve the correct fit.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use mild soap and a damp cloth to wipe the exterior; avoid machine washing as this can damage the structural integrity and adhesive.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources such as radiators or heaters, which can cause the sole to warp or the upper materials to shrink.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
