FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for walking and light training. For serious running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models that provide more advanced cushioning and support for higher impact activities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your heel should be snug, with enough room in the toe box for your toes to move freely without being cramped. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Trying them on at the end of the day, when feet are slightly swollen, can help ensure a proper fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The trainers can handle light moisture, but they are not waterproof. Extended exposure to heavy rain may cause your feet to get wet. For wet conditions, consider water-resistant or waterproof footwear.
What is the warranty on these trainers?
Specific warranty details can vary by retailer and region. Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's website for information on the manufacturer's warranty.
How often should I replace my trainers?
For optimal performance and support, it's generally recommended to replace trainers every 300-500 miles of use, or approximately every 6-12 months depending on frequency of wear and activity level. If you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning, it's time for a new pair.
Are there other colors available in the Gel-Contend series?
The Gel-Contend series is available in various colors. This specific model is the 'Walker - White'. You may find other color options within the broader Gel-Contend range.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. If the discomfort persists after a break-in period, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning may degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if they have been worn heavily for over a year or if you notice a significant loss of shock absorption.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole provides traction, it may be less effective on very wet or polished surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Upon receiving them, ensure they are the correct size. It is recommended to wear them around the house for a short period to gauge fit and comfort before extended use.
Compatibility: The ASICS Gel-Contend trainers are designed for adult use. While suitable for a wide range of activities, they are best paired with athletic or casual wear. They are not intended for highly specialized sports that require specific footwear features like extreme ankle support or specialized cleating.
Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
