FAQs
Are these trainers good for running?
The ASICS Gel-Contend trainers are primarily designed for walking and offer good support and cushioning for that purpose. While they can handle light jogging, they may not provide the specialized features needed for intense or long-distance running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your heel should feel secure without slipping, and you should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. They should feel comfortable from the first wear, with no pinching or excessive tightness.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash ASICS Gel-Contend trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity. Clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and for their intended use (walking and daily wear), these trainers can last for a significant period. For optimal performance and support, consider replacing them after approximately 300-500 miles of walking.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average foot widths. If you have significantly wide feet, you may want to explore specific wide-fit models or consult ASICS' sizing guides for alternatives.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?
The GEL technology, strategically placed in the midsole, is designed to absorb shock during impact and provide cushioning. This helps to reduce stress on your feet and joints, making walking more comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider breaking them in with shorter walks.
Reduced cushioning over time
While durable, cushioning can lessen with extensive use. Consider replacing them after significant wear, typically after 300-500 miles of walking.
Exterior soiling
Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a soft brush carefully.
