FAQs
Can I remove the insoles to use custom orthotics?
Yes, the Gel-Contend 10 features a removable insole, making it easy to replace with your own custom orthotics if required.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
These trainers are designed primarily for road running and gym use. They provide excellent traction on paved surfaces, but they may lack the specific protection needed for rugged, technical trails.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water to spot clean the mesh. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals.
Is the GEL technology visible?
The GEL technology is embedded within the heel unit to provide shock absorption where it is most needed during your stride.
Do these trainers require a break-in period?
While they are comfortable out of the box, it is recommended to wear them for short walks or light activity before transitioning to long-distance running to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Are these suitable for people with wide feet?
The mesh upper offers a degree of flexibility, but fit depends on individual foot shape. If you typically require wide-width shoes, ensure the standard fit meets your comfort needs.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a secure lockdown without cutting off circulation, and verify the insole is properly seated.
Excessive dirt build-up on the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry debris before wiping with a damp cloth.
Slippage during exercise
Check the rubber outsole for excessive debris or worn tread patterns that might impact grip, and clean the soles with a damp cloth if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Contend 10 trainers, follow these maintenance practices. Ensure the fit is secure but not restrictive; there should be a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe. To clean, remove the insole and hand wash it in lukewarm water with mild soap, allowing it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high temperatures can degrade the cushioning materials and adhesive bonds within the shoe structure.
