FAQs

What is GEL SCUTOID Technology?

GEL SCUTOID Technology refers to a specific 3D geometry of ASICS' GEL cushioning system, designed to provide superior shock absorption. This helps to reduce impact forces and enhance comfort during wear.

What does the 'PS' in the product name 'ASICS Contend 9 PS Sneaker' mean?

Typically, 'PS' stands for 'Pre-School' in ASICS sizing. However, the product attributes clearly specify 'size_adult_foot_uk':'9.5', which is an adult shoe size. This creates an ambiguity. For this specific product, given the adult size attribute, we refer to it as an adult shoe. If you are looking for a pre-school size, please double-check the product details.

Are these sneakers suitable for running?

While inspired by ASICS running series, the Contend 9 PS is primarily designed for casual wear, walking, and light, everyday activities. For dedicated running or high-impact sports, ASICS offers more specialized running shoes with features tailored for those demands.

How do I ensure the best fit for these UK 9.5 sneakers?

It's best to measure your foot length and compare it against ASICS' official size chart for UK adult male sizes. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear and ensure there's about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technologies. Please follow the hand-cleaning 'Care Instructions' provided in this guide.

What is the benefit of the upper design being inspired by other ASICS GEL series?

The inspiration from series like GEL-NIMBUS and GEL-KINSEI means the upper design integrates elements known for comfort, support, and a performance-oriented aesthetic. This lineage suggests a focus on foot-hugging comfort and a secure fit, reflecting advanced design principles.

Troubleshooting

Sneakers feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.

Ensure you've selected the correct UK 9.5 size. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the most comfortable fit for your foot shape. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a footwear specialist for sizing advice.

My feet feel tired after wearing them for a long time.

While equipped with GEL SCUTOID Technology for shock absorption, these sneakers are designed for casual and light activities. If engaging in high-impact or prolonged strenuous activities, consider specialized footwear. Also, ensure your socks provide adequate cushioning.

The sneakers are developing an odor.

Regularly air out your sneakers, especially after use. Remove the insoles and let them dry separately. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling a small amount of baking soda inside overnight to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Do not machine wash.

The multicolor upper looks dull or dirty.

Clean the upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap as per the 'Care Instructions'. For stubborn stains, use a very soft brush gently. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they may damage the material or fade the colors.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your sneakers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the multicolor upper with a soft, damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the material or color.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soapy water to scrub dirt and debris from the outsole and midsole.
  3. Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them in direct sunlight, on a radiator, or use a hairdryer, as excessive heat can deform materials and adhesives.
  4. Odor Control: To prevent odors, remove insoles occasionally and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You may use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
