Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Contend 10 is an ideal everyday neutral road running shoe for adult women who need a reliable, comfortable partner for daily jogs, lunchtime loops, and weekend runs. Its primary benefit is the combination of impact-absorbing cushioning and a secure, supportive fit that accommodates your natural gait; however, users should note it is specifically designed for neutral runners and may not provide the specialized stability features required for those with severe overpronation.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking?
Yes, the cushioning and support that make them great for running also make them comfortable for long-distance walking.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
They are ideal for treadmill work and general movement, though they may lack the lateral support needed for intense side-to-side agility drills.
How often should I replace these shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight.
Are these waterproof?
The Contend 10 is designed for breathability, so they are not waterproof and may let water in during heavy rain.
What does neutral shoe mean?
A neutral shoe is designed for runners who do not over-rotate their ankles inward or outward significantly when they land.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during runs
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle area more tightly.
Developing hotspots or blisters
Ensure your running socks are moisture-wicking and check that the fit isn't too tight; if the problem persists, try a thinner sock or use anti-friction balm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Contend 10 trainers, it is essential to focus on proper fit and post-run maintenance.
Fit and Setup
Ensure you are wearing running socks when testing for size to account for foot swelling during exercise. The upper should feel snug across the midfoot, while your toes should have about a half-inch of space from the front of the shoe.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to remove dried mud and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Never place shoes in a tumble dryer or on a radiator, as extreme heat can degrade the cushioning materials and glues.
- Maintenance: Loosen the laces completely before taking the shoes off to prevent stretching the heel counter.
