Product Information
Full details
The Asics GEL-Contend 10 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking a reliable, comfortable shoe for everyday training sessions. Featuring signature impact-absorbing technology and a lightweight construction, these trainers offer a stable platform for road running and gym workouts; however, those requiring high-level arch support or specialized stability features for severe overpronation may find the cushioning profile too neutral for intensive long-distance racing.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The GEL-Contend 10 is a neutral trainer. While comfortable for many, those with very flat feet may require custom orthotics for added arch support.
Can I use these for marathon running?
These are primarily designed for everyday running and training. While durable, they may not offer the advanced energy return features found in elite-level long-distance racing shoes.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the surface and intensity of your runs.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability rather than water resistance.
What is the best way to clean the outsoles?
Wipe the rubber outsoles with a damp sponge to remove debris and maintain traction.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
We do not recommend machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight during long runs
Feet often swell during exercise. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks and consider loosening the laces slightly before starting your activity.
Excessive dirt buildup on mesh
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently spot clean the exterior. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing brushes that could fray the mesh fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care for your GEL-Contend 10 trainers will extend their lifespan significantly. Ensure you select the correct UK size for your foot shape, as running shoes should typically provide a thumb-width of space in the toe box. For maintenance, remove loose dirt after each run using a soft brush. If the trainers become wet, air-dry them naturally at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the midsole cushioning. Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers.
