FAQs
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The GEL-Contend 10 has a standard fit; however, the mesh upper offers some flexibility to accommodate varying foot shapes.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No. Excessive heat from a dryer can damage the EVA foam and loosen the adhesive, shortening the lifespan of your trainers.
Are these suitable for long-distance marathons?
While they are very comfortable for daily training, long-distance runners often prefer shoes with more advanced energy return features.
How often should I replace them?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Do these provide arch support?
The design offers neutral support suitable for most runners, though it does not contain aggressive stability features for severe overpronation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after prolonged running
Feet often swell during exercise; try loosening the laces mid-run or ensuring you are wearing moisture-wicking running socks.
Inner heel wear
Ensure your shoes are fully unlaced before taking them off to prevent friction and damage to the inner heel lining.
Mud accumulation on mesh
Let the mud dry completely before brushing it off with a dry, soft-bristled brush to avoid pushing debris deeper into the mesh pores.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics GEL-Contend 10s maintain their integrity, proper maintenance is essential. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your specific foot arch to prevent slippage while running. For cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the EVA foam. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the trainers in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or shrinking.
