FAQs

Is the GEL-Contend 10 suitable for marathons?

This model is designed for everyday comfort and shorter to medium-distance runs. While durable, marathon runners usually opt for specialized long-distance performance footwear.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if necessary.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability, meaning it will allow water to pass through if you step in puddles.

How do I know if I have a neutral gait?

A neutral runner typically has an even wear pattern on the sole of their shoes. If you are unsure, visiting a specialized running store for a gait analysis is recommended.

How often should I replace these trainers?

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

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on the top of the foot

Loosen the laces across the midfoot area or try an alternative lacing pattern to reduce vertical pressure.

Excessive moisture inside the shoe

Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks and remove the inner liner after use to speed up the evaporation process.

Heel slipping while walking

Use the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique through the top eyelet to secure the heel cup firmly against your foot.

Pros and Cons

  • Neutral support may not suit overpronators
  • Requires manual adjustment of laces for optimal lockdown

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ASICS GEL-Contend 10 trainers last, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: Wear your new shoes for short sessions before attempting long-distance runs to allow the foam to conform to your foot.
  2. Lacing: Use the eyelets to customize the tension across your bridge, ensuring the fit is snug but not constricting.
  3. Cleaning: Hand wash the shoes using mild soap and cold water. Remove the insoles for separate washing if needed.
  4. Drying: Air dry only. Do not place them in a tumble dryer or directly on a heater, as excessive heat can deform the EVA midsole and damage the mesh fibers.
  5. Rotation: Allow the shoes to air out for 24 hours between runs to let the cushioning materials decompress and moisture to evaporate.
