FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are designed for light activities and casual jogging. They provide excellent comfort for short-to-mid distances, but intense marathon training may require a more specialized technical shoe.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Gel-Contend 10 features a removable insole, making it compatible with most aftermarket orthotic inserts.
How should I clean my ASICS trainers?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to spot clean the exterior. Always air dry your shoes at room temperature; never use a tumble dryer.
Is the sizing consistent with other ASICS models?
Yes, they generally follow standard ASICS sizing conventions for adult male footwear.
Does this model provide arch support?
The shoe provides moderate structural support suitable for neutral foot strikes, focusing on stability and impact cushioning.
Can these be worn for weightlifting?
While the rubber outsole is stable, the cushioning technology is designed for impact absorption rather than the rigid, flat sole required for heavy powerlifting.
Troubleshooting
Insole sliding or bunching up during use
Remove the insole, ensure the interior floor of the shoe is debris-free, and re-seat the insole firmly against the heel cup.
Excessive moisture or odor after use
Remove the insole to allow the shoe to breathe and air-dry in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
Outer sole picking up dirt and small debris
Use a soft brush to knock out pebbles or dirt from the outsole tread pattern periodically to maintain optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Contend 10 trainers remain in optimal condition, perform regular maintenance. The removable insole should be taken out and air-dried after intense activity to prevent odor and moisture buildup. If the exterior gets dirty, clean with a soft-bristled brush and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesive materials. When selecting your size, refer to standard UK sizing as the fit is consistent with the broader ASICS product line. For those requiring specific arch support, remove the stock insole and replace it with your preferred insert.
