FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathons?

The Contend 10 is built for everyday comfort and shorter to mid-distance training; for full-marathon racing, you may prefer shoes with more advanced energy-return technologies.

Can I wash these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesives and the integrity of the foam midsole. Stick to hand-cleaning with a damp cloth.

Are they waterproof?

No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability rather than water resistance.

Do these run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard athletic sizing, but it is always best to measure your feet in the evening when they are at their largest.

What is the primary surface for these shoes?

They are designed primarily for road running, track, and indoor gym surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the white mesh

Use a gentle foaming sneaker cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and cool water with a soft cloth to spot-treat without scrubbing too hard.

Feeling of insufficient arch support

Consider swapping the factory sockliner with a third-party performance insole if you require specialized orthotic support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Contend 10 trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps.

  1. Fit Check: Ensure the shoe is snug but allows for natural toe movement. Use the sizing guide to verify your UK size (this model is specific to UK sizing).
  2. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a mild detergent and a damp cloth to clean the upper; never machine wash or submerge the shoes.
  3. Drying: Air dry the trainers in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the midsole foam.
  4. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent material breakdown.
