The GEL-CONTEND® 9 running shoe provides good cushioning, support, and durability.

An engineered mesh upper stretches with the foot's natural motion and creates a comfortable fit. Meanwhile, the synthetic stitching on the overlays helps create a more supportive foothold.

The midsole features GEL® technology and AMPLIFOAM cushioning. These technologies help increase durability while creating a softer feel underfoot.

Additionally, a TRUSSTIC® support unit and wrap-up outsole improve stability while allowing your feet to move freely. This lets you change directions more confidently, particularly if you're moving side-to-side.
