FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Gel-Contend 10 is primarily designed for daily training and general fitness, not high-mileage racing. While comfortable for jogging, dedicated long-distance runners may prefer specialized marathon footwear.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the insole is removable, making the shoe compatible with most custom or store-bought orthotic inserts.
How do I know if the size 9.5 UK is right for me?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Ensure the heel is locked in place without slipping.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your shoes, as the agitation and heat can degrade the cushioning materials and glues. Hand cleaning is the safest method.
What surfaces are these trainers best for?
They are best suited for hard, flat surfaces like asphalt, concrete, and gym floor mats.
Troubleshooting
The insoles are becoming smelly
Remove the insoles to air them out separately. Use a specialized deodorizing spray or wash them with mild soap and cold water, then air dry completely.
Outsole traction feels reduced
Inspect the rubber for trapped pebbles or debris in the tread pattern. Use a brush to clear the channels, as buildup can prevent full ground contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Contend 10 trainers remain in optimal condition, proper care is essential.
- Fit Check: Ensure the size matches your foot type, allowing for a small amount of space in the toe box.
- Cleaning: Remove the inner insole to shake out debris. Wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoes or using a washing machine, as this can damage the structural adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep shoes away from direct heat sources such as radiators or heaters, as high temperatures can warp the midsole material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup and potential odor development.
