FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Contend 10 provides standard neutral support which works for many users, but those with specific arch issues should consult a professional or consider adding custom orthotics.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can compromise the structural integrity and the cushioning properties of the foam. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Are these true to size?
Yes, Asics generally follow standard sizing; however, it is recommended to leave a thumb's width of space at the front to account for foot swelling during runs.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are optimized for roads and gym floors. While they are durable, the outsole grip is not specifically designed for loose dirt, mud, or technical trails.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of use and the surface type.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the lace tension and consider using the top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' to secure the heel.
Visible wear on outsole
Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on suitable surfaces like pavement or gym floors rather than rugged trail terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Contend 10 trainers maintain their performance, start by securing the laces to your personal comfort level without overtightening. These shoes are compatible with standard athletic socks. For care, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. If the shoes become dirty, remove excess mud with a soft brush and clean the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the cushioning materials and glues.
