FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Contender Premium uses running-inspired technology and cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer rather than a professional performance running shoe.
How do I determine if I have the correct size?
The Contender Premium features a regular fit. You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to ensure proper comfort.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the suede upper and compromise the adhesive integrity of the midsole. Always spot clean by hand.
What does the Transpower insert do?
The Transpower heel insert is a specialized component designed to provide extra shock absorption and energy return in the heel, which is where most impact occurs during walking.
Is the material breathable?
The suede and structured construction prioritize durability and support, providing moderate breathability suitable for everyday wear.
Does the colour fade easily?
To prevent fading, keep the shoes out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use and avoid exposing the suede to excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the suede material
Use a suede brush or specialized eraser to gently lift the fibers and buff out surface marks.
Foot feels slightly loose during activity
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets upward to better secure the midfoot.
Outsole loses traction in wet conditions
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove buildup that may be reducing grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Mizuno Contender Premium trainers stay in peak condition, consider the following steps:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow for a short period of wear to let the suede adapt to your unique foot shape.
- Moisture Protection: Since the upper is made of suede, apply a suede-specific water-repellent spray before wearing them in damp conditions.
- Cleaning: Never submerge your shoes in water. Use a soft brush or a specialized suede eraser to gently remove surface debris or dried mud.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant colors from fading over time.
