ASICS Gel-Contend 4 Trainers - Beige/Black - UK 6.5

To choose the right size, measure your foot length from the heel to the tip of your longest toe. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart provided by ASICS or consult the specific instructions included with the product.

The ASICS Gel-Contend 4 is designed for everyday training and light activities. For marathon running, which requires specialized support and cushioning, a more performance-oriented shoe from ASICS' running line would be recommended.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning to preserve the materials and structure of the shoe.

The primary benefit of the GEL technology is enhanced shock absorption, particularly in the heel. This helps to cushion the foot during impact, reducing stress on joints and providing a more comfortable experience during activities.

The lifespan of the trainers depends on usage frequency and intensity. For light to moderate use, they can last for a significant period, but for regular, intensive training, replacing them every 300-500 miles or when cushioning and support diminish is advisable.

The durable rubber outsole is designed for versatile traction, performing well on a variety of surfaces including pavement, indoor gym floors, and light, dry trails.

Ensure you have selected the correct size by measuring your foot length. Try wearing appropriate athletic socks. If the issue persists, consider if the shoe's structure is not suitable for your foot type.

Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush to remove accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting grip.

The cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. For sustained high-level cushioning, consider replacing the shoes after significant wear, typically several hundred miles of use.
