FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are well-suited for light jogging and walking, though they are primarily classified as general trainers for fitness.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Gel-Contend 10 features a removable insole that can be easily taken out for cleaning or to accommodate custom orthotics.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the synthetic upper. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, yes. However, if you plan on wearing thicker performance socks, some users prefer to go up a half size.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology provides advanced cushioning that helps absorb shock during movement, protecting your joints.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly loose or lacks support
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly and consider utilizing the final lace loop for a 'runner's knot' to secure the heel.
Insoles becoming damp or developing odors
Remove the insoles after every workout to allow moisture to evaporate and consider using an odor-neutralizing spray.
Outsole losing traction
Inspect the rubber for trapped pebbles or debris and clean the surface with a stiff-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Contend 10 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New trainers may feel stiff initially; wear them for shorter sessions during the first week to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Insole Maintenance: Remove the insoles periodically to air them out or hand wash them with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting them.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior synthetic upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial washing machines, as these can compromise the structural integrity of the shoe materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber outsole and upper materials from drying out or discolouring.
