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.
