Gel-Contend 8 Running Shoes

The GEL-CONTEND® 8 running shoe provides good cushioning, support, and durability.

A jacquard 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.

Considered Injuries
