FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS Contend 9 is designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. While they offer cushioning, they are not engineered with the advanced support and technology required for serious or high-impact running.
What is the primary material used?
The shoes feature overlapping layers of leather, inspired by a classic sneaker design.
How do I clean the multicolor design?
Use a slightly damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher spots on leather, a mild leather cleaner can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the colors.

What is the intended use for the Contend 9?

How does the sizing work?
The sizing follows standard UK adult men's foot measurements. It is recommended to check the ASICS sizing chart for the most accurate fit.
What does 'lightweight impact absorption' mean?
It means the materials used in the sole and midsole are designed to cushion your feet and reduce the force of impact when walking or moving, contributing to all-day comfort.
Troubleshooting
Slightly stiff feel on first wear
This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The leather will soften with use.
Discoloration on leather after cleaning
Ensure you are using a cleaner specifically designed for leather and test on an inconspicuous area first. Always use a slightly damp, not wet, cloth.
Comfort is not as expected for extended walking
Check that the laces are tied appropriately, providing a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure the size is correct, allowing enough room for movement without slippage.
