FAQs
Is the Asics Gel-Contend 9 suitable for trail running?
These shoes are designed primarily for road and treadmill surfaces. While they can handle light path walking, they lack the aggressive lugs necessary for technical trail terrain.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite sockliner is removable, allowing you to use your own custom orthotic inserts if needed.
How do I ensure the right size?
We recommend measuring your foot at the end of the day when it is slightly swollen and ensuring there is a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural adhesives and the GEL cushioning system. Always hand-clean with a soft brush or cloth.
What is the primary benefit of the AMPLIFOAM+ midsole?
It provides a softer, more plush feeling underfoot while also increasing the overall longevity of the midsole compared to standard EVA foam.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Ensure laces are tightened securely using the top eyelet to create a lockdown fit.
Mesh upper looking dirty
Use a soft brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with mild detergent to spot clean.
Feeling discomfort after long periods
Verify that your size is correct and consider wearing moisture-wicking synthetic socks to reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Gel-Contend 9 trainers, ensure the fit is snug but not restrictive, allowing for natural toe splay. For 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 in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can damage the cushioning materials. The OrthoLite sockliner is removable if you need to air it out or replace it with custom orthotics.
