FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

They are ideal for walking and light training, but for dedicated long-distance running, you may want to look into professional-grade performance running shoes.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to wash them in a machine. Hand-cleaning with a cloth is the best way to maintain the structural integrity of the cushioning.

How do I know if the size is right?

There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

The synthetic upper is designed for breathability, so it is not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain or standing water.

Can I replace the insole with my own?

Yes, the insole is removable and designed to accommodate various orthotic inserts or replacements.

What surfaces are these best for?

The rubber outsole is designed for standard urban surfaces like pavement, concrete, and gym flooring.

Troubleshooting

Insole sliding during wear

Ensure the insole is properly seated flat against the base of the shoe. If it persists, clean the bottom of the insole and the shoe interior to remove debris.

Outer sole losing traction

Check the tread for embedded stones or debris. Use a soft brush to clear the patterns in the rubber outsole to restore grip.

Synthetic upper appears dull

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and let air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the material integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable impact protection via GEL cushioning
  • Lightweight construction for all-day comfort
  • Breathable materials help manage foot temperature
  • Easy to clean due to the removable insole feature
  • Versatile grip suitable for various walking surfaces

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy-duty professional sports
  • Synthetic upper may offer less flex than mesh alternatives
  • Limited to specific colour palettes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ASICS Gel-Contend trainers last, proper care is essential. Since the insole is removable, you can air them out between uses to prevent moisture buildup. If the exterior gets dirty, wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or putting them in a tumble dryer, as heat can degrade the adhesive and cushioning properties. When considering sizing, note that the fit is consistent with standard adult sizing, though those requiring custom orthotics should ensure the removable insole is extracted completely before inserting the new base.
