Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend™ 2

Great comfortable, supportive shoe for running. Lightweight, yet great arch support and still look great after lots of wear. Breathable mesh at toe good for some ventilation. I would definitely buy this model again for my teenage daughter.

These were perfect. Five years ago I bought a pair of Asics gel tennis shoes and loved them. Sadly they were destroyed on a vacation and needed replacing. These fit just the same and help with the pronating thing my feet so when running/exercising. My least favorite feature was having to deciding what color!

First off..I have arthritis in my toes and have had both knees replaced. Not good, BUT, these ASICS Gel sneakers make my feet happy. They are very flexible and let my foot take a nice stride with a break. My other fav sneakers are my Merrell's, but they are quite stiff and don't allow the same free motion of my foot. Good for hiking, but these ASICS are great for my morning walks.

The shoes are super comfortable and even feel good on my bunions. I just wish they would come in better colors.

I am completely satisfied with the Asics gel shoes. I have a difficult time finding a size 5.5 shoe that fits well. Thanks!

I've owned all the top name brands, still do, but Asics are my favorite "go to" walking shoe. They are cushioned, feel secure but not tight, wear well too. If they continue producing this high quality of a shoe, I'll always buy Asics.

These shoes are comfortable, true to size and look great. I use them for walking as well as dance aerobics. I liked them so much that I bought a second pair in another color!

I love all the fun colors in Asics shoes, but since I wear them for errands and such, rather than for running, I wanted a bit more neutral. These seemed to be a good compromise and the colors are really pretty. So far the shoes are comfortable. I needed a 1/2 side larger than normal to wear athletic socks. I wanted to use my Orthaheel inserts, so I ended up going a full size larger. The insole that came in the shoe is fine for everyday, but I love the arch support in my Orthaheel inserts when I'm walking a lot of miles.

Just received them today and they are awesome! Not only are they super stylish and great colors, but they are unbelievably comfortable even upon the first workout. I find that I usually have to stretch shoes out and get them comfortable for long runs, but these fell right in to my routine. A great purchase!

I usually wear a medium width but the last pair of medium width Asics I purchased hurt my feet after walking only 10-15 minutes. I couldn't return them because I wore them outside. So I ordered another pair, but wide width this time. They are perfect, very comfortable, and I can walk miles. I love the structure of Asics, the design, the high quality.

Awesome shoe. My second pair. Have them on right now, don't need to break them in. Great fit and price. Thanks Zappos.

I started wearing Asics about 3 years ago and have never been so happy with an athletic shoe. Best brand around for me for comfort and support. Never have to break them in, they are comfortable right out of the box. This model is no different they are awesome in fact just ordered another pair in a different color. What fun colors, it was hard to choose. So I have one for working out and one for good. As my last pair are trashed. Thanks Zappos you are the best for selection, service and price.

Love them! Very comfortable for working out and walking around town. The laces aren't too tight and the colors are fun.

Usual mid-price range Asics quality. I love the color scheme on these. Fit true to size. I am very happy with my purchase. As usual, price and service-wise, Zappos can't be beat!

This is my second pair of Gel Contend and I love them. I wore the last pair til they fell apart they were that comfortable! They look sharp and I love the colors.

I bought this sneaker for my daughter, and it fits and looks great. The colors are fun and go great with jeans and many things. This is a lightweight shoe, perfect for a little more support than the average Keds, but light enough that it is still stylish!

I love Asics shoes, especially the gel. This is a great price for a well fitting, long wearing athletic shoe. The way the shoe is shaped it "molds" around the foot. The laces are placed and proportioned so you can get optimum snugness. I can stand and walk all day in these shoes.

I loved these right out of the box. Very comfortable. Took on a trip no problems, no rub marks, no blisters. Usually wear New Balance but not right out of the box, need to break in first.

I have been looking for a pair of shoes that are comfortable, good arch support and does not rub against my small toe. I ordered a few from Zappos but had to return them. Finally, this pair just fit right. The gel also helps in walking. The convenience of the return policy is great for finding the right shoes.

The Ascis are heaven - like walking on air - cliche but true! The color is perfect. I get compliments all the time and Zappos is a dream to do business with.

Loved these shoes! I have very flat feet and ordered these before I received my first pair of orthotics. They alleviated my foot pain and I was so pleased I ordered another pair in another color! Thanks Zappos for allowing me to try on multiple pairs in the comfort of my home.

These are great shoes. I'm on my feet all day and these are great for those days. I was able to put an orthotic in for my plantar fasciitis and they are still roomy. In fact, if you have narrow feet, which I do not, they may be a little too roomy. The upper mesh is cooling. They are very bright. People comment all the time, good or bad; but I think they're great. Fashion note: they are more fashion appropriate if you do not wear bright pink clothing...it's a little much!

I bought these to run on a paved trail about two miles each way. They immediately relieved my legs from the shock. They are so comfy in the front and the heel! The neon pink motivates me since it's my favorite color. The mesh upper feels cool and lightweight. Will recommend! Oh and the Zappos team is really silly and helpful. I appreciate their upbeat approach at order dilemmas. It struck me as weird at first, but I'd rather have upbeat and goofy than surly and rude! Thanks Zappos.

I love these shoes. I had to order a 1/2 size larger than I usually wear but then they fit perfectly. I wear them for golf and am very happy with them. I highly recommend.

I love these shoes. Have had many compliments on how cute they are. L can't say enough good things about Zappos.
