FAQs

Is this shoe suitable for flat feet?

The Contend 10 provides neutral cushioning that works well for many runners, but those with severe overpronation may prefer a model with additional stability features.

Can I put these in the dryer?

No. Intense heat will damage the glue and warp the foam midsole.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, they feature a breathable mesh upper which allows for airflow and is not designed to repel water.

How often should I replace these trainers?

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity and surface of your runs.

Do these run true to size?

Yes, ASICS typically follows standard athletic sizing; however, it is advised to measure your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe

Adjust the laces using a 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle.

Visible dirt on mesh upper

Use a gentle fabric cleaner or mild soap and a soft-bristled brush, then wipe with a damp cloth.

Cushioning feels packed down

Ensure the shoes are given at least 24 hours between heavy usage days to allow the foam to decompress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your ASICS Contend 10 trainers, ensure you choose the correct size for your foot shape. If you use custom orthotics, the removable sockliner allows for easy integration. To care for your shoes, avoid machine washing. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the outsole with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the foam integrity.
