FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The GEL-CONTEND 9 is designed for everyday running and training. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support or advanced features required for long-distance competitive marathon running.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, these trainers are suitable for general gym workouts, cardio sessions, and light strength training due to their comfortable cushioning and stable base.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.
What is the main difference between GEL-CONTEND and other ASICS series?
The GEL-CONTEND series generally focuses on providing versatile comfort and cushioning for everyday runners and general fitness. Other series might offer more specialized features for specific types of running (e.g., trail, racing) or performance levels.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
It's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or cushioning.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning of the shoe. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. If discomfort persists, consider if the sizing is appropriate for your foot shape.
Traction feels slippery on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for general traction. For significantly wet or slick conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean, as debris can affect grip.
Uppers feel too tight or restrictive
Loosen the laces, especially around the ankle area. The engineered mesh is designed to stretch, but ensure the lacing pattern allows for this movement.
