FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
These shoes are excellent for daily training and mid-distance runs. For specialized marathon racing, some users prefer more advanced technical series.
Can the insoles be replaced with orthotics?
Yes, the ORTHOLITE insole is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for specific support needs.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and intensity.
Are they waterproof?
No, these trainers feature a breathable jacquard mesh designed for airflow, not water resistance.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is generally accommodating, but individual foot shape varies; we recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit for your specific width.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feeling too tight after extended wear
Feet naturally swell during exercise; try loosening the laces mid-run or ensuring your socks are not too thick.
Slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the lace-up closure is secure and consider using a 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique to increase stability.
Visible wear on the outsole
Check your running gait for heavy heel striking and consider professional gait analysis if the outsole wears prematurely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS GELCONTEND 9 trainers, it is essential to follow basic maintenance steps. Ensure a proper fit by checking that there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. When cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the upper using a damp cloth with mild soap; never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam integrity. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
