FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the cushioning provided by the FF BLAST PLUS foam makes them a comfortable choice for high-mileage training.
Does this shoe offer stability for overpronation?
The Contend is generally designed for neutral runners; if you have significant overpronation, consult with a gait analyst to see if additional orthotics are required.
How long do these shoes typically last?
Depending on your running surface and frequency, you can expect between 300 to 500 miles of consistent performance.
Can I use these for HIIT workouts?
While primarily for running, the lightweight nature makes them suitable for agility-based HIIT training as well.
Are they water-resistant?
The mesh construction is breathable and not waterproof, so they may allow water to enter in heavy rain.
What is the best way to clean the foam midsole?
Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent and wipe the midsole clean, then wipe dry with a separate towel.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or instability inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to lock the heel more securely in place.
Foam appearing compressed after heavy use
Rotate your shoes with a second pair to allow the foam to decompress and recover its shape for 24-48 hours between sessions.
Dirt buildup in the mesh upper
Use a dry, soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub out debris from the mesh pores.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics Contend trainers, start by ensuring the laces are tied with a secure but non-restrictive tension to maintain proper circulation. These shoes are compatible with standard neutral orthotics if extra arch support is needed. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after your runs. Never machine wash or machine dry your trainers, as this can degrade the specialized foams and GEL components. Instead, clean the upper with mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
