FAQs
Is the ASICS Gel-Contend 9 suitable for wide feet?
The shoe provides a standard fit; if you require additional width, consider checking the manufacturer's specific wide-width availability for this series.
Can I use these for long-distance marathon running?
While the Gel-Contend 9 is excellent for daily training, most marathoners prefer specialized racing shoes for competitive long-distance events.
How often should I replace these sneakers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the surface and your intensity of use.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these shoes are designed with breathable mesh for airflow, meaning they are not waterproof and will absorb water in wet conditions.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the internal liner is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try using the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to increase tension around the ankle collar.
Build-up of dirt in mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud or debris after the material has fully dried.
Insole becomes uncomfortable
Remove the factory liner and replace it with a third-party performance insole specifically fitted to your arch type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Contend 9 sneakers, begin by properly lacing the shoes to secure the midfoot while allowing the toes to move freely. If you use custom orthotics, the factory insole is removable to accommodate your preferred support insert. Compatibility is best suited for road surfaces, synthetic tracks, or gym flooring. For care, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the adhesive and foam structure. Instead, spot clean using a soft cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Always air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as high temperatures can warp the specialized GEL and foam components.
