FAQs
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Gel-Contend 10 comes with a removable insole specifically designed to be swapped out for custom orthotics.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these are not waterproof and are designed for breathability. They may get wet in heavy rain or deep puddles.
Are these suitable for long-distance marathon running?
While durable and comfortable, they are intended for daily performance and light training rather than high-mileage competitive marathon racing.
How should I clean my ASICS trainers?
Use a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not submerge them in water or place them in a washing machine or dryer.
What does the GEL technology do?
The GEL technology is a cushioning system that attenuates shock during the impact phase, protecting your joints and improving comfort.
Troubleshooting
Insole sliding or shifting
Ensure the insole is properly seated flat inside the shoe. If it persists, check if the bottom of the insole is clean of debris.
Build-up of dirt on outsole
Use a soft-bristled brush to knock off dry mud or debris from the grooves in the rubber outsole.
Unpleasant odors after heavy use
Remove the insoles to air out separately and use a specialized athletic shoe deodorizer spray if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your ASICS Gel-Contend 10 is straightforward. Ensure a proper fit by wearing the socks you intend to use during exercise; the trainers should feel snug but not restrictive. If you use custom orthotics, simply remove the factory-provided insole and replace it with your own. To maintain the shoes, avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and cushioning materials. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the interior gets wet, stuff the shoes with paper towels to draw out moisture and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight.
