FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 trainers are designed for everyday running and moderate training. For marathon distances or high-intensity competitive running, you might consider models with more specialized features.
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 end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be snug but not tight.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and cold water is the preferred method for cleaning to preserve the shoe's integrity and materials.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the heel is specifically designed to provide excellent shock absorption, cushioning your feet and reducing impact during activity, thereby enhancing comfort and protecting joints.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information can vary. Please refer to the specific warranty documentation provided with your purchase or check the ASICS official website for details related to your region.
Can I wear these trainers for cross-training or gym workouts?
Yes, the supportive and cushioned design of the Gel-Contend 9 makes them suitable for general cross-training, gym workouts, and walking, in addition to running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try loosening the laces and re-lacing them to adjust the fit. Wearing thinner socks might also help.
Discomfort after a few wears
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, check for any internal seams or objects causing irritation. Ensure socks are appropriate for running.
Reduced cushioning effect
The GEL cushioning is designed for long-term use, but its effectiveness can diminish with excessive wear. Consider replacing the trainers if you have significantly exceeded their recommended lifespan for your activity level.
