FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Mizuno Contender trainers are designed for general fitness and everyday wear. While they offer good cushioning for light workouts, they may not provide the specialized support and performance features required for marathon running.
How do I clean the Cordura mesh parts?
You can clean the Cordura mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Gently scrub away dirt and rinse with a clean damp cloth. Ensure they are air-dried afterwards.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede components, as it can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure and appearance.
What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
For comfort and breathability, athletic socks made from moisture-wicking materials like polyester blends or merino wool are recommended. Cotton socks can retain moisture and may lead to discomfort.
What is the primary benefit of the EVA foam midsole?
The molded EVA foam midsole provides lightweight, responsive cushioning that absorbs impact and offers comfort during daily activities and light exercise.
Do these trainers come in other colours?
While this guide focuses on the grey variant, other colour options might be available. Please check the product listing for available colours.
What does the 'Contender' series signify?
The 'Contender' series generally refers to a line of footwear that balances performance features with a competitive aesthetic, often drawing inspiration from heritage athletic designs.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot shape.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning product and follow its instructions carefully.
Shoe feels slightly loose
Tighten the laces, ensuring an even distribution of pressure across the foot. Consider using the extra eyelets for a more secure fit if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear, particularly women, for casual use and light training activities. They are designed for general fitness and everyday comfort.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the suede and textile upper with a soft, dry brush to remove surface dust. For stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the suede.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean the EVA foam midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the materials. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the colour and material integrity.
