FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GEL-CONTEND 10 is designed primarily for daily activities, walking, and light exercise rather than intense long-distance training.
Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?
Yes, the provided insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert your preferred orthotic supports if necessary.
How do I know if the size 6.5 UK is right for me?
Measure your foot while standing on a flat surface and compare it to standard UK sizing charts, ensuring about half an inch of space at the toes.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are made from breathable materials and are not intended for wet or rainy conditions.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Depending on usage frequency, it is generally recommended to replace them every 300 to 500 miles or if the cushioning loses its responsiveness.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long wear
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly; adjust the tension to allow for natural foot expansion throughout the day.
Insole sliding during movement
Remove the insole, ensure the interior of the shoe is clean and dry, then re-insert the insole firmly, pressing down along the edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics GEL-CONTEND 10 trainers stay in optimal condition, verify your size before the first wear; since these are UK-sized 6.5, ensure the fit is snug but not restrictive. When the trainers become dirty, avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and cushioning materials. Instead, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the sole and upper. For deeper stains, gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or becoming brittle.
