FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Gel-Contend 10 is designed for daily activities and light exercise. While they provide excellent comfort, serious distance runners may prefer specialized performance models.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the removable insole makes this model highly compatible with most custom or aftermarket orthotic inserts.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt, then wipe with a cloth dampened with cool water and mild detergent. Do not soak the shoes.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they feature breathable mesh to promote airflow, which means they are not waterproof and are best suited for dry conditions.
Is the sizing consistent with other ASICS models?
Generally, ASICS sizes are consistent across their training range, but it is always recommended to refer to the size guide if you are between sizes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after prolonged wear
Feet naturally swell during the day; ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks and consider loosening the laces mid-day.
Insole sliding or shifting
Ensure the insole is properly aligned within the heel cup and that the bottom of the insole is dry before re-inserting.
Odour buildup inside the shoe
Remove the insole and allow both the shoe and insole to air out in a well-ventilated space; consider using a shoe deodorizing powder.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Contend 10 trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning materials and adhesives. If the shoes become dirty, gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them in a shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators. Because the insole is removable, you can take it out after use to facilitate faster drying and reduce odor build-up. Always check that the fit allows for a thumb-width of space in the toe box for optimal comfort during activity.
