Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend™ 2

I actually ordered this pair of Asics and a pair of Nikes, and this pair of Asics were way more comfortable and felt higher quality than the Nikes. If you're debating between Nike and Asics, I'd do Asics. They're better quality and will last longer. I've gotten a bunch of compliments on this pair of shoes, they're great colors and look awesome on at the gym! I also work with kids and my feet have never felt better!

I love Asics tennies. I find other brands have a too wide footbed and my foot slides around during work-out. And they're cute too!

Lightweight and comfortable. I mainly use them for walking outside or on the treadmill. True to size. A decent exercise sneaker at a great price. Recommend.

I have been a long time Nike person. Asics have so much more support, cushion, and room. I am never going back to Nike.

As with previous ASICS athletic shoes, these fit perfectly, we're true to size, wide enough in the toe area, and provided great structure. Comfortable from the minute I put them on!

Wonderful shoes! Like floating on a cloud. I did not have to break them in. Ready to wear!

These are the best walking shoes I have owned and usually buy at least 2 pair of walking shoes per year. I always bought and wore NB but these are much better and the price was great. Will order all my shoes from Zappos from now on.

Stylish, very lightweight material and the mesh allows air to circulate around the toes. If there would have been any amount of arch support I wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with it.

Wow - this shoe has nothing but positive ratings! That never happens, but I totally agree. I am buying my second pair - the first pair I bought in a store. I am buying this pair from Zappos because they really have excellent service all around! These shoes are extremely comfortable! I started running again a while back with another well known brand of running shoes and ended up hurting my knee - my doctor told me to get Asics! Since I already had a very good experience with the brand before when I ran and worked out daily, I went right back to these - great shoe - so comfortable! And you cannot beat the price! Plus, I love the color orange, and there is just enough on here to be cute! I have the grey pair with a little orange on them, as well!

I always used Nike, but now I have a hard time finding ones that fit just right. I like these shoes! They are light weight and pretty too! Perfect for my fast paced walks.

I'm glad I purchased this shoe. I haven't ran in therm yet, but I did workout in them. Super comfortable, lightweight shoe. Excellent for aerobics!

Great shoes, very comfortable right out of the box. I had been buying the same shoe and had to change brands due to availability but there wasn't even any break-in time. I put them on and took off!

I love these shoes, I have foot problems and these are the only sneakers that I can wear without pain. I have two pairs and am considering purchasing a 3rd.

I literally just got these from the UPS guy! I took off my old asics, put these on and I love them! They have a wide toe box and slimmer heel which fit my feet perfectly. They also have a higher, more supportive arch which I needed badly. <3

I loved these sneakers! I have more expensive Asics and these measure up. They fit great and are very comfortable. I have narrower feet and they work well for me. Thanks to Zappos for the quick delivery!

I loved the shoes they were great for the first few hours I wore them, but started hurting my feet on the bottom.

Overall, I like these shoes. They have negated the need for my Superfeet 3/4 insoles (yes, the ones meant for dress shoes, which I put in every pair of shoes regardless of type) which is amazing. However, even the wide-width is still pretty narrow across the toe box and instep. This is OK for me, as my feet are only slightly wide, but for those of you with true wide feet will be uncomfortable. I am happy with the colors and so far they seem to be wearing OK.

These shoes feel so good when you first put them on. The size is perfect. I got an 8 wide. Cause I stand 8 to 10 hours a day and need something with comfort. But after wearing them for 3 to 4 hours the bottoms of my feet hurt? Not sure why this is a first. But I love the shoe. Maybe I need one with more support or padding?

Looking for athletic shoe that wasn't too bulky yet had support and was light weight. Also - did not want super bright neon colored ones. These were perfect. No break in period. Comfy right out of the box!

I always can depend on Zappos to have my size. I love the availability of low prices, too. Asics always last and are pretty. They provide great relief for back pain.

I ordered these in wide size after foot surgery. As always, Asics are great shoes. Wide toe box, but normal in ankle area. I did put my orthotic insoles to replace the insole in shoe. Original insole is not supportive, so just keep that in mind. Overall great shoe and would recommend.

These shoes are very comfortable. I got the white/coral/silver and they are true to the color displayed on my monitor. They aren't heavy and bulky, which I can't stand in a shoe. I use them for walking and just kicking around town. They would be too lose to play, say, tennis or pickleball, but, then, that's not what they're for. My neighborhood is extremely hilly and my feet feel fine after a good mile walk (and I am quite a bit overweight). Shoes are holding up very well.

I love these shoes! I do Jazzercise and this is my second pair of these shoes! They are perfect for the high impact Jazzercise that I do.
