FAQs
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Gel-Contend 10 features a removable insole, making it compatible with many aftermarket orthotic inserts.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and cushioning properties of the trainers. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
These trainers are designed primarily for road and gym surfaces. They may lack the aggressive lug patterns required for technical trail running.
What does the GEL technology actually do?
The GEL technology is a silicone-based material placed in the heel to absorb shock during impact, helping to reduce stress on your joints.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and intensity.
Troubleshooting
Insole sliding or bunching
Ensure the insole is properly aligned and pressed flat into the base of the shoe. If it persists, clean the bottom of the insole and the internal base to remove debris.
Reduced cushioning feel
Check if the insole is worn out and needs replacement. If the issue persists, the internal GEL unit may have reached the end of its functional lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Contend 10 trainers, start by confirming the fit; ensure a thumb's width of space exists between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. For care, keep the exterior clean by wiping away mud or dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. If the interior becomes soiled or develops odors, remove the insole and wash it separately with mild soap and cold water, allowing it to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not machine wash or dry these shoes, as excessive heat can compromise the integrity of the GEL cushioning system and adhesive components.
