FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are designed for light activities and casual walking. While they feature cushioning, they are not intended for high-mileage or marathon running.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash using a damp cloth and mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the materials and adhesives.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the Gel-Contend 10 features a removable insole, making it easy to swap for custom orthotics or to clean.
Do these run true to size?
ASICS generally follow standard sizing conventions. Ensure you use the provided UK sizing chart to match your specific needs.
How do I keep the purple color looking new?
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent color fading and keep the material clean by wiping off dust regularly.
Troubleshooting
Insole sliding or shifting
Ensure the insole is properly seated into the shoe bed. If it continues to slide, ensure the shoe is fully dry inside, as moisture can reduce friction.
Outer sole losing traction
Check for debris or dirt embedded in the tread patterns. Clean with a soft brush and water to restore grip.
Discomfort during initial wear
Synthetic uppers may feel stiff at first. Try wearing the shoes for shorter periods during the first week to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Contend 10 trainers remain in top condition, follow these steps. For initial setup, ensure the laces are loosened entirely to allow the foot to slide in naturally without crushing the heel counter. These shoes are compatible with standard gym attire and everyday casual wear. For care, gently wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. If the shoes become heavily soiled, remove the laces and the removable insole, hand-washing them separately in mild soap and water. Always air dry in a shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the glue and synthetic materials.
