FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Gel-Contend 9 is excellent for walking and light jogging, though it is primarily designed as a comfortable trainer for daily activities.
How do I ensure the right fit?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during activity.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if necessary.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Depending on usage frequency, it is generally recommended to replace trainers every 300 to 500 miles or when the cushioning starts to feel unresponsive.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The upper is designed for breathability, so they are not water-resistant and may absorb moisture in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels tight after long periods of wear
Adjust the laces to loosen the tension across the midfoot, or ensure you are wearing appropriately thin athletic socks.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsoles are free of debris and mud. While the rubber is durable, avoid high-speed movement on slick, wet tiles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially to allow the foam to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap; do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals.
- Air Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the glue and foam integrity.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and ensure they are dry before storage to prevent odors.
