ASICS Women's GEL-CONTEND 9 Running Shoes

Rearfoot GEL technology cushioning: Improves impact absorption and creates a softer feeling at footstrike. Jacquard mesh upper: Improves airflow and creates a comfortable fit. OrthoLite sockliner: Offers excellent step-in comfort. Flex grooves in the outsole improve flexibility. Synthetic stitching on the overlays improves support.

The AMPLIFOAM+ cushioning helps improve the durability of the shoe. This product is suitable for road running and has an 8mm heel drop. The weight of the shoe is 235g/8.3oz, and it is designed for neutral and underpronating foot types.

Neutral foot type: Your foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, absorbing impact on the body. You experience even distribution of pressure from the front of the foot. Getting injured is less likely due to effective shock absorption, but not impossible. You have normal-size arches.

Underpronation (Supination): The outside of your heel hits the ground at an increased angle with minimal pronation, causing shock to the lower leg. You experience pressure on your outer toes. You are more likely to experience plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain. You have high arches.

Overpronation: Your foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight. You experience pressure mainly on your big toe and second toe. You are more likely to experience shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs. You have low arches or flat feet.
