Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend™ 2

I bought these hoping they would be better for my workouts than the current pair of another brand, plus they matched my new workout outfits. I was amazed when I put them on. they were so comfortable and I made it thought my high impact workout without my feet bothering me. I absolutely love these shoes. So much that I have now purchased 2 more pair of Asics.

I love these shoes! Was hesitant about the low sale price, since less expensive Asics often feel stiff and aren't always the high quality I'm used to, but a friend had just purchased these, so I tried them. Great walking shoe! Comfortable, good cushion, lightweight. Highly recommend!

These sneakers are super comfortable, breathable and great looking. I have wide feet and this is the first pair of wide shoes that were really wides! Most comfortable walking shoe ever!

These fit my wider foot beautifully. Plenty of room for my orthodics in addition to good arch support on their own. Wonderfully comfortable and good for cross training.

I have found ASICS to be a reliably quality brand & for a moderately priced shoe, these are terrific! I have problem feet and to accommodate a splayed toe on my right foot, I must buy a size larger than my feet. These shoes are perfect! They fit both feet. They are wide enough without being too wide & I've gotten compliments on the style.

I love these shoes. I wear them for TurboKick and strength training classes. There is plenty of cushioning, and I am able to fit my custom orthotics in the shoes with no problem. This is the 3rd pair of Asics I have bought. They are great for wearing in the gym or for walking around town.

These are very comfortable for wide feet. The toe box and arch support are substantial. I use these as an everyday walking shoe to help me keep up with a toddler.

Great shoes, comfortable. I'm a "serious walker" and they are great shoes. I originally went to a national sporting goods store to buy shoes, but they did not have my size. Zappos to the rescue! I received my shoes within days.Next time I'll think of Zappos first!

I love them! The fit beautifully. They are so light I could forget I was wearing shoes. I couldn't ask for anything better.

These are absolutely awesome! I have bad feet...difficult for me to find ones that "feel great". These are wonderful. I have a wide foot - they are perfect. Seems to be lots of support. You know how you love a pair of shoes and then can't find them anymore? I'm ordering another pair in a different color. Maybe two more. :) The blue is super!

Love 'em! I purchased these Asics Gel for the price. I'm so glad. Normally shoe purchases over the Internet are dicey when it comes to sizing. Zappos fit like the regular size 8 in the department store. Shoe is comfortable- extremely light-weight so you don't feel like you're even wearing shoes.

Size was off. I ordered another shoe in a larger size. Product is great, just didn't fit.

Love the colors and comfort-level. Asics have great style and offer support in the heel. Convenient sales//return policies with free-shipping!

This is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn! I have a hammertoe on my left foot and it makes buying shoes challenging. However, this is an incredible shoe -- I don't want to take it off! I only wish it came in darker colors.

Very comfortable, light shoe. I wear them for yard work and they do well on wet grass and on hills. I'm so thankful they come in 10 1/2!

Feels good out of the box. Bought 2 pairs. One for in the house, one for on the go. Supportive but not as much as New Balance. (I did not keep the NB I tried since it felt to snug and the shape was wrong for my foot.)

Great shoes! The Asics GEL Contend 2 is perfect for everyday errands, hiking (yes, hiking) and all casual wear. I've had many compliments on this lightweight, good looking shoe

These are great colors and lightweight while still supportive. They run a bit small. I wear 7, but ordered 7½, which is perfect.

First off, I had ordered another pair of athletic shoes first that didn't work out. Zappos was awesome as usual in the return. I then ordered these sneakers and LOVE them! I should have known because I have worn Asics in the past and really liked them. Tried other brands and they just weren't the same. These shoes are comfortable right out of the box. They are not too heavy and they breathe due to the mesh layering. Very good arch support. Love the colors. Thank you, Zappos, for making every buying experience a great one!

I was a new comer to Zappos, and will definitely be returning after my 5 star experience. I love their selection. After shopping at the big shoe store, I left there without buying exactly what I wanted, but knew my size and general requirements. I purchased a GoWalk Sketchers last year, but walked the "cush" down in a very short time. So knowing I wanted to go with ASICS Gel definitely helped me narrow it down pretty quick. I just want to say the reviews on Zappos helped me a lot. When they said this shoe didn't have a lot of arch support, it was true. But that was fine because I had an extra set of gel inserts. So I made a money saving decision. And no regrets! I love their return policy, prompt service and of course, the selection. I encourage you do your homework and when you're really ready to buy ~ shop here. What do you have to lose?

I got these because I thought they were cute and the price was good. I use them for cardio and spin class only. I do run but wouldn't run in them because they're a bit heavy for my running tastes.

Excellent fit right out of the box.The toe base is wide enough that it does not crap. The length is perfect. I wear a 10 and it is right on. I walk on concrete all day and my feet do not hurt with these shoes. The support is great. I will say out of the box they did slip in the heel a little. I simply laced them at the top the way a shoe store salesman showed me to stop that years ago, and there is no slipping at all. I even get compliments on the colors. I didn't buy it for the colors, I went by the reviews and for fit to choose.

These sneakers are very comfortable. I bought them to use for tennis and some of my classes at the gym. I love the colors but more importantly for me the insole comes out of the shoe easily so I can insert my orthotics. I ordered my usual size of 6 1/2 and they fitted just right. I love Zappos because you get your merchandise literally the next day and working with them if you need to return or exchange an item, is so easy.

These are great, I'm having trouble with my feet and these are so comfortable. Very pleased with them. I'm wearing a wide and they look like a medium - they're great.

Love these. Fit is great. I usually stick with plan white, but these took my fancy. Nice exciting shoe.
