FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-arch feet?
The Contend 10 is a neutral trainer and generally accommodates various arch heights, though orthotics can be inserted if extra support is needed.
Can I use these for long-distance marathons?
While durable and comfortable, they are primarily designed for everyday training and short-to-medium distance runs rather than high-performance racing.
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 activity.
Are these machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and the structural integrity of the shoe. Use only hand-cleaning methods.
What is the primary difference between this and high-end ASICS models?
The Contend 10 focuses on essential comfort and durability for everyday use, whereas higher-end models often include more specialized foam technologies and performance-specific support structures.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try relacing the shoes using a 'window lacing' technique to reduce tension over the instep.
Accumulation of dirt in mesh fabric
Let the shoes air dry completely, then use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dried dirt from the pores of the mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Contend 10s, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as these trainers are designed for a consistent, true-to-size fit. For care, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can damage the EVA foam integrity. If the shoes become muddy, gently remove excess debris with a soft brush and clean the mesh using a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid putting these trainers in a washing machine, as the agitation can compromise the adhesive bonds and cushioning structure.
