FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Contend 10 is a neutral shoe. If you have flat feet and require significant arch support, you may need to add a specialized orthotic insole.
Can these be used for trail running?
They are ideal for light, packed trails or park paths, but they are not designed for technical, rocky, or steep mountain terrain.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Are these true to size?
Asics generally run true to standard athletic sizing. It is recommended to leave about a thumb's width of space at the toe to accommodate foot swelling during runs.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No. Heat from a dryer will degrade the glue and compromise the cushioning foam. Always air dry at room temperature.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness across the top of the foot
Try the 'window lacing' technique to reduce pressure over the instep while maintaining a secure heel lock.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Ensure the tongue is properly centered and consider using technical running socks to create a better seal around the ankle collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics Contend 10 trainers last through your training block, follow these simple maintenance steps.
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short walks or light jogs for the first few days to allow the upper material to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after muddy runs. If the shoes become soiled, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage the foam cushioning.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Letting them air out between runs allows moisture to evaporate, which prolongs the life of the inner lining.
- Insole Removal: If the shoes get wet, remove the internal sockliner to accelerate the drying process.
