FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 trainers are designed for comfort and cushioning during everyday activities and light training. For long-distance or high-impact running, consider ASICS models specifically engineered for performance running, which offer more advanced support and cushioning technologies.

How do I know if I have the right size?

You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Ensure the heel doesn't slip and there's no pinching or excessive pressure on the sides of your feet.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technologies. Hand wash gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology in the heel is designed to absorb shock during impact, providing enhanced cushioning and reducing stress on your joints and feet.

How often should I replace my Gel-Contend 9 trainers?

The lifespan of trainers varies based on usage, weight, and gait. Generally, it's recommended to replace them every 300-500 miles of running or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a reduction in cushioning.

What activities are these trainers best suited for?

These trainers are best suited for everyday walking, standing for long periods, light gym workouts, and general casual wear.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and consider wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, the shoes may not be suitable for your foot type.

Reduced cushioning over time

The cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after significant wear, typically 300-500 miles of running or when visible signs of wear appear.

Slightly tight fit

New shoes can feel snug initially. Wear them for short periods to break them in, or consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness is significant.
