FAQs
What type of running is the Gel Contend 9 best for?
The Gel Contend 9 is best suited for everyday road running, jogging, and general fitness training where good cushioning and support are desired.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel Contend 9 trainers?
You can spot clean them using a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Is this shoe suitable for marathon training?
While they offer good cushioning for shorter to moderate distances, for marathon training, you might consider models with more advanced cushioning systems or higher mileage capabilities, depending on your individual needs and preferences.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in this shoe?
The GEL technology is strategically placed in the midsole to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints during the run.
Can I use these shoes for gym workouts?
Yes, they can be used for general gym workouts that do not involve extensive lateral movements. For activities like cross-training or court sports, specialized shoes are recommended.
How does the engineered mesh upper contribute to the fit?
The engineered mesh is designed to stretch and adapt to the natural motion of your foot, providing a comfortable and secure fit while also allowing for breathability.
What is AMPLIFOAM+?
AMPLIFOAM+ is a cushioning compound used in the midsole that provides a softer feel underfoot and helps increase the shoe's durability.
Troubleshooting
Slight initial stiffness
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot's shape. The engineered mesh and AMPLIFOAM+ will soften with use.
Foot fatigue after long runs
Ensure the shoe size is correct and offers adequate room in the toe box. Consider if the level of cushioning meets your personal needs for extended distances.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for general road use. Be cautious when running on very wet or slippery surfaces, as specialized trail or wet-weather shoes may offer superior traction.
