FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard ASICS Gel-Contend 9 offers a medium width. For individuals with wider feet, it is recommended to check for available wide (2E) sizing options or consider shoes specifically designed for wider fits.
How do I determine my correct shoe size?
Measure your foot length at the end of the day, as feet tend to swell. Compare your measurement to the ASICS sizing chart. For the Gel-Contend 9, a UK size 7 is provided as an example, but always refer to the official size guide for the most accurate fit.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The Gel-Contend 9 is primarily designed for road running and treadmill use. The outsole may not provide sufficient grip or protection for uneven trail surfaces.
What is the main benefit of GEL™ technology?
GEL™ technology in the rear foot is designed to improve shock absorption, creating a softer underfoot feel and reducing impact during landings.
How much of the shoe is made from recycled materials?
At least 20% of the shoe's main upper material is made from recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions.
What is the difference between GEL-CONTEND and other ASICS series like GEL-QUANTUM?
The GEL-CONTEND series is generally geared towards everyday runners needing reliable cushioning and support, often at a more accessible price point. Series like GEL-QUANTUM typically offer more advanced technology and performance features for a broader range of activities or more demanding use.
How does the solution dyeing process for the insole benefit the environment?
The solution dyeing process used for the insole reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to conventional dyeing technologies.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if the break-in period is needed.
Reduced cushioning effect
Over time, cushioning can degrade. For optimal performance, consider replacing shoes after 300-500 miles of use or when you notice a significant decrease in comfort and support.
Upper material feels restrictive
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. The engineered mesh is designed to stretch, but initial wear might feel snug. Consistent wear should allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
