To extend the life and maintain the performance of your ASICS Gel-Contend 9 trainers:
Cleaning:
Remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth.
For deeper cleaning, hand wash using mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents.
Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying:
Always air dry your shoes at room temperature.
Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to shrink or crack.
Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage:
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Keep them away from extreme temperatures.
Rotation: If you use them frequently, consider rotating them with another pair of shoes to allow them to air out and recover between uses.
