FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard width is designed for most feet. While they offer a comfortable fit, they are not specifically listed as wide-fit shoes. Break-in might help, or consider trying them on to assess the fit.
What is the primary benefit of Charged Cushioning®?
Charged Cushioning® uses compression-molded foam to provide a balance of impact absorption, responsiveness, and durability, making your stride feel more energetic.
Can I use these for marathon running?
The Charged Assert 10 is a versatile trainer suitable for various distances. For marathon running, while they offer cushioning and durability, dedicated marathon shoes with specialized features might provide a performance edge for some runners.
How do I know if the 10mm offset is right for me?
A 10mm offset is common and generally suitable for neutral runners. If you typically feel comfortable in shoes with a moderate heel-to-toe drop and your foot lands relatively flat or strikes midfoot, it's likely a good fit. Runners who prefer a 'barefoot' feel or significantly pronate might prefer a lower or higher offset.
What surfaces are these shoes best for?
These shoes are best suited for road running, treadmill use, and general gym training due to their cushioning and durable rubber outsole.
How does the weight of 9.5 oz impact performance?
A weight of 9.5 oz (for a men's size 9) is considered moderate for a running shoe. This weight provides a good balance between sufficient cushioning and durability without feeling overly heavy, making them suitable for daily training.
What is the return policy if they don't fit?
Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for information on exchanges or returns due to sizing issues.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The Charged Cushioning® midsole is designed for durability, but its responsiveness may naturally decrease with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing shoes after 300-500 miles of running.
Discomfort in the arch area
The EVA sockliner provides soft comfort. If persistent discomfort occurs, consider using aftermarket insoles that better match your arch support needs, ensuring they are compatible with the shoe's volume.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Spot clean the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush and lukewarm water, then allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure they are laced to your preferred tightness using the standard tie laces for a secure fit.
Compatibility: Designed as neutral running shoes, they are ideal for runners with a neutral gait. They are compatible with most running socks and athletic apparel.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Charged Assert 10 trainers:
- Clean the upper with a mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Remove excess dirt from the outsole with a dry brush.
- Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not machine wash or use direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
