FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The ASICS Gel-Contend Walker trainers are designed primarily for walking and light activities. They offer cushioning and support for these purposes but may not provide the specific stability and shock absorption required for running.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather upper gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to prevent damage to the material.

What type of support do these trainers offer?

These trainers offer general support suitable for everyday walking and standing. They incorporate GEL technology in the heel for shock absorption and are designed for stability during low-impact activities.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

While the leather can offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces to maintain the material's condition and prevent discomfort.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology integrated into the midsole, particularly in the heel, is designed to absorb shock effectively during impact, providing a smoother transition and reducing stress on the feet and joints.

What does UK 8 refer to?

UK 8 refers to the UK sizing standard for adult women's footwear, indicating a specific foot length and width measurement for optimal fit.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check that laces are tied appropriately – not too tight or too loose.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but prolonged heavy use can eventually lessen its effectiveness. Consider replacing the trainers if significant degradation in comfort is noticed after extended use.

Leather creasing or stiffness

Minor creasing is normal with leather. To reduce stiffness, ensure the shoes are not overly dried out. Consider using a leather conditioner designed for athletic footwear, following product instructions.

Soles becoming slippery

Check the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the soles with a brush to remove dirt. If the tread is significantly worn down, replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather upper gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the leather.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack or warp.
  4. Laces: Remove laces before cleaning and wash them separately. Re-lace once the trainers are dry.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
