ASICS Gel-Contend 9 - Red - UK 3

The standard width is designed for average foot sizes. Specific wide-fit options are not indicated for this particular model and colorway.

For optimal performance and support, it's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a reduction in cushioning.

The Gel-Contend 9 is primarily designed for road running and general fitness. The outsole may not provide sufficient grip or durability for rugged trail surfaces.

The GEL technology is placed in the heel to provide excellent shock absorption, which helps to reduce impact on your joints during each stride and offers a softer landing.

The Gel-Contend series is designed to offer reliable cushioning and comfort for everyday training and is generally positioned as an entry-level to mid-range shoe, whereas other ASICS lines may offer more specialized features for racing or advanced performance.

To clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat to prevent color fading or bleeding.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If still too tight, consider if this is the correct size for your foot width. Some break-in period may be required.

Cushioning can naturally degrade over time. Consider replacing the shoes if they have been used for a significant number of miles (typically 300-500 miles).

Ensure the shoes are laced correctly for your foot. If discomfort persists, consult with a running specialist to check your gait and foot type.
