FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for marathons?
While comfortable for everyday training, these are entry-to-mid-level trainers. Most long-distance runners prefer the extra tech in high-end series for full marathons.
Can I remove the insole to use custom orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are removable and compatible with most aftermarket orthotic inserts.
Are these true to size?
ASICS generally fit true to size, though runners often opt for a half-size larger than their casual shoes to allow for foot swelling during exercise.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace your running shoes every 300-500 miles depending on your running surface and weight.
Do they provide arch support?
The Gel Contend 10 is designed as a neutral shoe. If you have extremely flat feet, you may wish to pair them with supportive insoles.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
This is normal for new pairs; take the shoes on a few 2-mile walks to 'break in' the EVA foam.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel more firmly in the collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel Contend 10 trainers, follow these maintenance tips:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the foam to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the GEL unit and adhesives.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature material degradation.
- Air Out: Remove the insoles after long, sweaty runs to allow the interior to fully dry and prevent odors.
