FAQs
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash these shoes to preserve the integrity of the materials and the GEL cushioning system.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit of the Gel-Contend 10 is designed for average width, though the material does offer some flexibility.
How often should I replace the insoles?
If you notice the cushioning losing its bounce or visible compression, it is time to replace them.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they are designed with breathable synthetic uppers, meaning they are water-resistant but not waterproof.
What is the primary use of this shoe?
They are designed as versatile trainers suitable for jogging, walking, and gym-based exercise.
Can I use custom orthotics with this model?
Yes, the removable insole feature makes this model highly compatible with most custom or store-bought orthotic inserts.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Check that the laces are not tied too tightly across the bridge and ensure the insole is lying perfectly flat.
Slippage during intense movement
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to perform a runner's loop (heel lock) to secure the ankle.
Dirt accumulation on the upper
Allow the mud to dry completely and gently brush it off before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Contend 10 trainers, inspect the outsoles for wear after every 300-500 miles of use. When inserting custom orthotics, ensure the original insole is fully removed first to avoid excessive internal pressure. For cleaning, remove the insole and hand wash it in cold water with mild detergent; air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage. Wipe the exterior synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain its breathability.
