FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-Contend 9 suitable for long-distance running?

The Gel-Contend 9 is designed for comfort and cushioning during everyday activities and light exercise. For long-distance running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and responsiveness features would be more appropriate.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the shoe should not feel overly tight across the width of your foot.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS Gel-Contend 9 trainers, as this can damage the materials and affect the cushioning. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap, and air dry.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology in the heel is designed to absorb shock effectively, providing a softer landing and reducing impact stress on your feet and joints.

Are these trainers good for people with flat feet?

The Gel-Contend 9 offers general support and cushioning. Individuals with specific foot conditions like flat feet may benefit from consulting with a footwear specialist to determine if these shoes meet their unique support needs.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

The lifespan depends on usage frequency and intensity. For daily wear and light activities, they can last from 6 months to over a year. For more frequent or strenuous use, replacement may be needed sooner.

What activities are these shoes NOT recommended for?

These trainers are not recommended for high-impact sports, intense agility training, or professional athletic competitions where specialized footwear is required.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If still too tight, consider if a different size might be more appropriate or wear thinner socks.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. For optimal comfort, consider replacing the shoes after significant wear. Ensure insoles are clean and properly positioned.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe base, or trapped moisture. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or ensure the shoes are completely dry.
