FAQs
What type of running are these shoes best for?
The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 are best suited for general running, daily training, gym workouts, and cross-training activities. They provide a good balance of comfort and durability for moderate mileage.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Contend 9 trainers?
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally.
Is the ORTHOLITE insole removable?
Yes, the ORTHOLITE insole is typically removable, allowing for the insertion of custom orthotics if needed.
What is the primary cushioning technology used?
The primary cushioning technology is AMPLIFOAM, which provides excellent shock absorption and durability.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While designed for a standard fit, the lacing system allows for some adjustment. If you have significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on first or look for specific wide-fit models if available.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a Jacquard mesh material, which is known for its breathability and lightweight feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still tight, try loosening the laces. For persistent tightness, consider if the shoe's width is suitable for your foot.
Reduced cushioning over time
The AMPLIFOAM cushioning is designed for durability, but performance may gradually decrease with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing shoes after 300-500 miles of running.
Slipping during activity
Check the rubber outsole for wear. If the tread is significantly worn, it may be time to replace the shoes. Ensure you are on a suitable surface for the intended use of the trainers.
