Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Contend 10 is designed for adult male runners and fitness enthusiasts seeking a reliable blend of comfort, stability, and everyday durability. Its primary strength lies in its advanced GEL cushioning system, which significantly reduces impact during heel strikes to provide a smoother ride; however, users should note that this model is optimized for neutral gait patterns and may not provide enough support for individuals with severe overpronation.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Contend 10 is designed for neutral runners. If you have severe flat feet, you may need to insert a custom orthotic for added arch support.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and degrade the cushioning properties of the GEL technology. Use a damp cloth instead.
Are these true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing conventions, but it is always recommended to measure your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest.
What is the primary use for this trainer?
It is a versatile trainer designed for neutral runners, suitable for road running, fitness classes, and general daily wear.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the insoles are removable, making it easy to replace them with your preferred orthopedic inserts.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a short time
Ensure your laces are not overtightened at the midfoot and check that you have enough room in the toe box.
Insole sliding during exercise
Remove the insole, ensure the interior of the shoe is clean, and re-seat it firmly, or consider light adhesive strips if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Contend 10 trainers remain in peak condition:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short periods over the first few days to allow the upper material to adapt to your foot shape.
- Insoles: If you use custom orthotics, remove the factory-installed insole first to prevent overcrowding the shoe.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap; do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature deterioration of the cushioning foam.
