The Gel-Contend 10 is the sort of shoe ASICS makes for people who run a few times a week and want it to last: designed for comfort, durability and versatility in daily activities, with an 8 mm drop and little else to talk about. ASICS gives few construction details, so this is a plain shoe, and at $80 that is the point.
It suits easy runs, walks and everyday wear when you want an inexpensive pair and run a few times a week rather than chasing pace. The balanced cushion keeps regular, relaxed miles comfortable.
It is not a light or lively shoe, and it is not meant for workouts. At 317 g it feels heavy when you pick up the pace, and a livelier ride is what the pricier ASICS trainers are for.
