Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend 4

Bought 8.5med in Azure/Frosted Rose and the Azure was a very deep color. The shoes were too narrow and short. The uppers were hard and rough. The sole bottom was extremely hard-did not feel any gel cushioning. Must return.

Toe box was snug. Shoes were otherwise fine. I opted for another pair of Asics with a wider toe box.

There was very little cushion. The shoe was so narrow, My foot felt like it was hanging over the side of the insole.

Honestly only shopping drives me nuts trying to find the right fit and so on it just hard. Not everyone feet are the same. Each brand and style seems to fit differently with width etc.

Very little arch support, otherwise a good looking shoe.

Length True to Size, Beautiful, Heel to Wide

The shoes run small and the shoe laces are on the short side. It drives me crazy that the Asics sizes can vary and some of their shoes have shorter shoe laces than others. I wish there was more consistency from shoe model to shoe model!

I ordered a 9D - which normally should fit perfectly. This is the narrowest "D" sneaker I've ever tried on.

I have always worn Asics, but this pair was much too small in the toe box. After a few trips to an aerobic dance class, my toes felt squeezed and sore. Thankful for Zappos generous return policy.

After reading the reviews, I ordered a half size up, little too roomy in the area. Am returning them as in heel area it feels as though something is poking through..uncomfortable. Returning them.

These were comfortable but inferior quality. The right shoe in particular appeared defective in that the inner line wore out and a hard plastic design from the exterior rubbed thru to the interior causing blisters. Also the seams were cut too short on the upper fabric and they frayed out. I am very disappointed in what used to be a favorite brand.

extremely comfortable, great looking colors, as well

I have been wearing Asics for over 10 years. The fit was not comfortable at all. I usually buy the gel-kayano's and have a gel-exalt2 which I love.

I have worn ASICS for years - my go to running shoe, but these are awful. They seemed ok upon initially trying on, but after having worn them only a few times, I need to get new shoes. They make my feet hurt and go numb. I don’t know what’s causing this, but I’m wearing my old ASICS until I get a different shoe.

Most uncomfortable shoes!

A very comfortable shoe and the pair I had previously wore extremely well, and I hope this one wears as well.

I have worn this style of Asics for the last year. On this particular shoe, the stitching on the inside rubbed against my foot so bad I got a blister. I expect better quality from Asics.
