FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?

No, the Gel-Contend 9 is designed for everyday wear and light training. For marathon running, you would need a specialized performance running shoe.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure and not slip excessively.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials and cushioning. Spot clean with a damp cloth instead.

What is the main benefit of GEL technology?

GEL technology in the heel provides enhanced shock absorption, offering a softer landing and reducing the impact on your joints.

Yes, ASICS typically offers the Gel-Contend series in various colorways. Please check the product listings for available options.

What is the intended use for the ASICS Gel-Contend 9?

These trainers are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities such as gym workouts or moderate jogging.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness upon first wear

The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Discomfort on one side

Check the sizing and ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. If persistent, consider trying a different ASICS model that might better suit your foot shape.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL cushioning may naturally degrade with extensive use. For prolonged high-impact activities, consider replacing the trainers after significant wear.
