FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-Contend 'Walker' trainers are primarily designed for walking and general fitness activities. They provide good cushioning for walking but may not offer the specialized support and responsiveness required for high-impact running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel snug but not tight.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the adhesives, materials, and cushioning technology. Spot clean with a damp cloth instead.
What is the main advantage of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology, typically located in the heel, is designed to absorb shock during impact, providing a softer landing and reducing stress on your joints.
What surfaces are the outsole best suited for?
The AHAR+ (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) outsole is designed for durability and offers good traction on various surfaces including pavements, light trails, and indoor flooring.
How long is the lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan varies depending on usage frequency and intensity. For regular walking, they can last anywhere from 300 to 500 miles, or roughly 6-12 months of consistent wear. Look for signs of wear on the outsole and midsole cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning over time
While durable, cushioning can decrease with heavy use. Consider replacing the shoes if significant discomfort arises after extended wear.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The AHAR+ outsole provides good traction, but extreme wet conditions can still pose a risk. Exercise caution on very slick surfaces.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time to adapt to your feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the nylon upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh detergents.
