FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Contend 4 suitable for marathon running?
The Gel-Contend 4 is designed for comfort and support in general wear and light training. For marathon running, which involves high mileage and impact, we recommend specialized long-distance running shoes offering advanced cushioning and support.
How do I determine my correct UK adult foot size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Trying them on in person is the most accurate method if possible.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS Gel-Contend 4 trainers, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning system. Hand cleaning with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
What is the primary benefit of the 'Gel' technology?
The 'Gel' technology in the heel is specifically designed to absorb shock during impact, providing cushioning and reducing stress on your joints.
How often should I replace my Gel-Contend 4 trainers?
For general wear, trainers can last a significant time. For athletic use, especially running, it's generally recommended to replace them every 300-500 miles or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning and support.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The ASICS Gel-Contend 4 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for comfort during activity. For wet conditions, consider waterproof footwear options.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing them with appropriate athletic socks. Break them in with shorter wear periods initially.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be reducing grip.
Cushioning feels flat over time
While durable, the cushioning will naturally decrease with extensive use. For optimal performance and comfort, consider replacing trainers after significant mileage or wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK adult foot size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: The ASICS Gel-Contend 4 trainers are designed for general use and light athletic activities. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution with cool water and a sponge. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
- Laces: If laces become dirty, they can typically be hand-washed separately with mild soap and water.
