FAQs

Is the ASICS Contend 10 suitable for marathon training?

It is an excellent choice for daily mileage, but many marathon runners prefer rotating it with a more specialized long-distance shoe for race day.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

Yes, they provide enough stability for treadmill running and light gym work, though they are optimized for forward motion rather than lateral agility.

Does this shoe come in different widths?

The standard version is designed for a medium foot shape. Check your local retailer for availability of specific wide or narrow variants.

Are these waterproof?

The upper is made of breathable mesh for airflow, which means they are not waterproof and may let in water during heavy rain.

How often should I replace these shoes?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.

Is this a stability shoe?

No, the Contend 10 is categorized as a neutral trainer.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Loosen the laces across the bridge of the foot or try a different lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelet over the pressure point.

Outsole losing grip

Clean the bottom of the shoes thoroughly with a damp brush to remove accumulated mud, small rocks, or debris that inhibit traction.

Material interior wearing thin

Ensure your toenails are trimmed short to prevent internal abrasion of the fabric lining.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable impact protection for daily road running
  • Secure upper fit keeps the foot stable during transitions
  • Versatile outsole performs well on multiple hard-surface types
  • Lightweight construction minimizes fatigue over long distances

Cons

  • Primarily designed for neutral runners; not suitable for overpronators
  • Limited to road and light path use
  • Not intended for technical trail or heavy off-road terrain

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, verify that the shoe size allows for approximately a thumb’s width of space at the front of the toe box. When lacing up, pull the eyelets evenly to secure the foot without creating pressure points on the bridge.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or cloth after each run. Hand wash with mild soap and water if necessary; avoid using a washing machine.
  • Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning materials.
  • Rotation: If you run daily, consider rotating with a second pair to allow the foam to decompress fully between sessions, extending the lifespan of the cushioning.
