FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-Contend 9 suitable for marathon training?

The Gel-Contend 9 provides good cushioning for everyday running, but for marathon training, you might benefit from a shoe with more advanced, specialized cushioning and energy return features designed for high mileage.

How do I clean my Gel-Contend 9 trainers?

Gently clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow them to air dry completely.

What is the main benefit of GEL technology in these shoes?

GEL technology in the rear foot is designed to absorb shock effectively, reducing impact on your joints and providing a softer landing during your runs.

How much of the upper is made from recycled materials?

At least 20% of the shoe's main upper material is made from recycled materials to help reduce waste and carbon emissions.

Can these shoes be used for other sports besides running?

Yes, the Gel-Contend 9 are also suitable for general fitness activities and multisport use due to their cushioning and supportive design.

What does AMPLIFOAM+ cushioning do?

AMPLIFOAM+ cushioning works with GEL technology to enhance durability and contribute to a softer, more comfortable feel underfoot.

How does the solution dyeing process 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 methods.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. If they are new, wearing them for short periods can help break them in. Lacing techniques can also adjust fit.

Reduced cushioning over time

The cushioning may naturally degrade with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing the shoes after 500-800 km of running, or when signs of wear are evident.

Discomfort during runs

Check your lacing. Ensure the OrthoLite™ sockliner is properly positioned. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe is suitable for your specific foot type and running style.

Pros and Cons

  • Good cushioning for everyday runs.

  • Offers decent support with synthetic overlays.
  • Durable construction for regular use.
  • Incorporates sustainable materials.

Cons

  • Best suited for moderate distances, not extreme training.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a proper fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are ideal for running, multisport activities, and casual wear. They are designed for adult males.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the shoes. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
