FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Contend 10 offers a standard level of support and stability that works well for neutral runners, though individuals with specific orthopedic needs should consult a podiatrist.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Washing machines can damage the adhesive and the integrity of the foam. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable mesh upper designed to let heat escape, which means they are not waterproof.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running frequency and terrain.
Do these shoes come in different widths?
This specific model is designed for a standard fit. Always check the sizing label for specific width indicators if available.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long run
Feet naturally swell during exercise. Ensure you have allowed for a thumb's width of space at the toe box during your initial fitting.
Slippage in the heel area
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique to secure the heel more firmly in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Contend 10 trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short, 30-minute walks before transitioning to full-length runs to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and dust from the upper. Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes in a cool, shaded area. Avoid using direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as these can warp the materials and degrade the foam.
- Storage: Keep in a well-ventilated space to prevent moisture buildup and odors.
