FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While the Gel-Contend 10 is comfortable, it is designed as a daily trainer for light to moderate activity rather than long-distance endurance racing.
Can I remove the insoles for custom orthotics?
Yes, the insoles in the Gel-Contend 10 are fully removable and designed to accommodate most standard orthotic inserts.
How should I clean the shoes?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap to clean the surface. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
Are these suitable for wet surfaces?
The rubber outsole provides decent traction, but exercise caution on slick, smooth surfaces like wet tile or oily pavement.
What is the primary function of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is placed in the midsole to provide better shock absorption and increase overall comfort during heel-to-toe transitions.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the upper construction uses lightweight, breathable materials designed to encourage ventilation during daily use.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch after long walks
Consider replacing the stock removable insole with a third-party insert that provides higher arch support.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or a runner's loop (heel lock) to improve security and prevent slippage.
Shoes feel tight after wearing them for several hours
Loosen the lacing system, especially in the forefoot area, to accommodate the natural swelling of feet throughout the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate athletic socks you intend to use for your activities. The Gel-Contend 10 features a standard lace-up closure which allows for a secure lockdown; tighten these evenly to distribute pressure across the top of the foot. Regarding care, remove the insoles after heavy exercise to allow for thorough drying. Should the exterior become soiled, spot clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the structural integrity of the cushioning foam.
