FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The Gel-Contend 10 is an excellent entry-level to mid-range shoe for daily road running and moderate distances.

How do I clean the shoes?

Hand wash using a soft brush, mild soap, and water. Do not put them in the washing machine or dryer.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the Gel-Contend 10 comes with removable insoles to allow for easier cleaning or the use of custom orthotics.

Can these be used for gym training?

Yes, their lightweight design and traction-focused outsole make them suitable for gym activities, treadmill usage, and general fitness.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology provides shock absorption, reducing the impact stress on your joints during each stride.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

The synthetic upper is designed for breathability, meaning it is not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Insoles becoming damp or developing odor

Remove the insoles after use to air dry them separately and use a shoe deodorizer if necessary.

Upper material appears dusty or dirty

Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to wipe the synthetic material gently.

Feeling discomfort in the arch after long wear

Consider replacing the standard removable insole with an aftermarket orthotic insert designed for your specific arch type.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable shock absorption from GEL cushioning
  • Highly breathable synthetic construction
  • Easy-to-clean removable insoles
  • Lightweight design enhances agility
  • Durable outsole for daily road use

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy technical trail running
  • Limited to road and gym surfaces
  • May require break-in period for optimal arch comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ASICS Gel-Contend 10 trainers last, avoid using harsh detergents when cleaning; a soft brush and mild soap with lukewarm water are best for the synthetic upper. Since the insoles are removable, take them out after particularly sweaty workouts to speed up the drying process and manage odors. Always ensure you are wearing the correct size, specifically accounting for a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to prevent discomfort during swelling on long runs. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the adhesive and cushioning materials.
