FAQs

Is the Asics Contend 10 suitable for flat feet?

The Contend 10 is designed as a neutral shoe. While it provides good support, those with severe overpronation may prefer a model with specific stability features.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

Yes, their stable platform makes them suitable for general gym activities, such as weight training and treadmill work.

How often should I replace these shoes?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and the surfaces you frequent.

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is recommended to clean them by hand with mild soap and a brush. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the shoe.

Does this shoe run true to size?

The Asics Contend 10 generally fits true to size for a standard athletic fit; however, if you wear thick running socks, some users prefer sizing up by a half size.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels tight or pressured during runs

Adjust the lacing tension, specifically using the top eyelet to secure the heel, which can alleviate pressure on the midfoot.

Slipping on damp pavement

Ensure the outsoles are free of debris or caked-on mud; wipe the rubber down with a damp cloth to restore initial grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent impact protection for daily road running
  • Secure upper fit minimizes foot sliding inside the shoe
  • Durable outsole provides long-lasting traction
  • Balanced design suitable for neutral foot strikes

Cons

  • Not intended for technical trail running
  • Heavier than specialized lightweight racing flats
  • Lacks the high-energy return foam found in premium race shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Asics Contend 10 trainers, it is recommended to allow the shoes to air dry naturally after runs in wet conditions. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the cushioning materials.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for runners with a neutral gait. If you use custom orthotics, the internal sockliner is typically removable to accommodate your inserts. For best results, rotate your shoes with another pair to allow the foam to fully decompress between runs.
