FAQs

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these trainers?

The GEL technology is strategically placed in the heel to absorb shock during impact, providing a softer landing and reducing stress on your joints.

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

The Gel-Contend 9 is designed for general training and everyday wear. While they offer good cushioning for shorter runs, they may not provide the specialized support and durability required for high-mileage or competitive long-distance running.

How should I clean my ASICS Gel-Contend 9 trainers?

Clean them using a damp cloth or a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

The lifespan depends on usage. For regular training, they typically last between 300-500 miles or roughly 6-12 months, depending on the intensity and frequency of use.

Can I use these trainers for cross-training activities?

Yes, the ASICS Gel-Contend 9 trainers are well-suited for various cross-training activities, providing a balance of cushioning, support, and stability for gym workouts and moderate exercises.

Are these trainers available in other colours?

Yes, the ASICS Gel-Contend series is often available in a range of colour options. Please check product listings for currently available colours and sizes.

What makes the fit 'comfortable'?

The design focuses on a snug yet not restrictive fit, often incorporating a padded collar and tongue, along with materials that conform to the foot's shape over time, contributing to overall comfort during wear.

Troubleshooting

Uncomfortable fit after initial wear

Ensure laces are properly adjusted. Try wearing with different types of socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if the size is appropriate or if an alternative insole might be needed.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The GEL cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. For continued comfort in training, consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage or prolonged wear, typically after 300-500 miles for running shoes.

Soles showing wear and tear quickly

Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose (training) and not for activities that put excessive stress on the sole, such as extreme trail running or prolonged pavement running. Clean off dirt and debris after use to prevent abrasion.
