FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are designed for light activities and casual walking. While they offer cushioning, they are not specifically specialized for marathon-distance running.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The Gel Contend 9 follows standard adult sizing. It is best to try them on later in the day when your feet are slightly swollen to ensure a true-to-size feel.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can cause the structural adhesives to fail and the foam to degrade. Hand cleaning is recommended.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a durable synthetic mesh blend designed for both breathability and long-term durability.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the Gel Contend 9 is designed to provide a supportive and comfortable fit for both men and women.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the lacing tightness to allow for more room in the toe box or arch, or consider replacing the factory insoles with orthotics if necessary.
Visible dirt accumulation on the upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt, then follow with a damp cloth if needed.
Laces coming untied too easily
Ensure you are using a double knot or a secure heel-lock lacing technique to improve retention.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best out of your ASICS Gel Contend 9, ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks for the best fit. For cleaning, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the cushioning technology and structural integrity. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the materials.
