FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-Contend 9 suitable for running marathons?

The Gel-Contend 9 are designed for everyday comfort and light training. For marathon running, we recommend a shoe specifically engineered for long-distance running with advanced cushioning and support features.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Your toes should not touch the front of the shoe, and there should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should not slip excessively when you walk.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best used in dry or mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, consider waterproof footwear.

What is the main advantage of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology is strategically placed in the heel to absorb shock efficiently, reducing impact on your joints and providing a softer landing with every step.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after strenuous activity or if they become visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth can help maintain their appearance.

Do these trainers come in other colors or sizes?

The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 series is available in various colorways and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. For minor tightness, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. Lacing adjustments can also help create more space.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but intense use can wear it down. Consider replacing the shoes if the cushioning feels significantly diminished after extensive wear.

Soles showing wear and tear

Inspect the outsole regularly for significant wear. For minor wear on the tread, it doesn't typically affect performance, but consider replacement if the structure of the sole is compromised.
