FAQs
What type of runner is the Charged Assert 10 best suited for?
It is ideal for neutral runners seeking a balance of cushioning, responsiveness, and durability for daily training, shorter to medium distance runs, and cross-training activities.
How does the Charged Cushioning® technology work?
Charged Cushioning® uses compression-molded foam that provides exceptional responsiveness and durability, absorbing impact energy and converting it into comfortable rebounds.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While they offer decent traction on light trails, they are primarily designed for road running and gym use. For technical trails with uneven terrain, specialized trail running shoes are recommended.
What is the heel-to-toe drop, and why is it important?
The heel-to-toe differential is 10 mm. This moderate drop provides a balanced feel suitable for many runners, promoting a comfortable transition from heel strike to toe-off.
How often should I replace my Charged Assert 10 running shoes?
Running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles (480-800 km). Factors like running surface, body weight, and gait can affect longevity. Replace them when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Charged Assert 10 features a breathable mesh upper and is not waterproof. They are designed for ventilation and comfort during athletic activity, not protection from wet conditions.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 270 grams, making it a lightweight option that doesn't feel cumbersome during runs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot and forefoot, and relace them evenly. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size larger or checking if the internal volume suits your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The midsole cushioning may naturally compress after significant use. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended lifespan for running shoes (typically 300-500 miles) and consider replacement if performance is notably degraded.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. If the shoe has seen extensive wear on abrasive surfaces, the tread pattern may have worn down, reducing traction. For slippery conditions, consider using shoes with more aggressive tread patterns.
Upper material feels stiff
Wear the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow the synthetic overlays and mesh to break in and mold to your foot. Avoid excessive bending or creasing of the shoe during storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. The standard lacing system allows for easy adjustment to your preferred snugness.

It is compatible with various running surfaces including roads, treadmills, and light trails. It is not specifically designed for highly technical terrain or sports requiring lateral ankle support.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, which can warp the shape or degrade the adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and material breakdown.
- Laces: Clean laces separately by hand or replace them if worn out.
