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.
