Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend 4

I love Asics. I always know I can order my size and that the fit will be right every time. They hold up well and give nice support for my high arches.

Very comfortable from the start. True to size. Great shoe.

I absolutely love Asics as my go to workout shoe for my wide feet. Great support and great fit in the toe box. I wear these for weight lifting, gym cardio and walking and they hold up really well.

My 11 old daughter loves these shoes!

My teen was wearing these and so I gave them a try as well. We like this style more than other Asics because other models dig into the back of our ankles, the back of these are lower and more comfortable. Wish they came in more colors/designs though. I recently tried to switch to Brooks after reading excellent reviews, but find these much more comfortable in the toe area.

This is my second pair of these sneakers/running shoes in black, and I bought a third pair in gray. I find them to be extremely comfortable; I wear them with orthotics. I use them for walking/gym and everyday. Interestingly, many people have remarked on how nice looking they are, not a comment you would expect about a running shoe. I wore them on a trip in Portugal last year. They didn't feel too clunky to wear with a nicer pair of slacks, and I walked all over with them.

Be sure to go up AT LEAST a 1/2 size. I am an 8 in everything and went up to a 9 (thick socks) and glad I did because the toe box is extremely narrow. With the 9, I can spread my toes. Nothing worse than confined toes in a running shoe. Other than that, I am finding these comfortable and wearable for several hrs. without any problems. The sole has plenty of soft "give" and the insole plenty of cushion. The arch support is not extreme thank goodness.... its just enough. I have painful, narrow, flat, bony feet and have a hard time finding ANY sneaker that works for me... These have been a blessing so far.

Asics gel shoes fit my feet perfectly and are comfortable at the gym or to wear all day. Highly recommend.

I have just bought two more pairs of these shoes. Last year I bought a pair in black, wore them on a trip with alot of walking, and have worn them to the gym and to walk all year. I bought another pair in black and one in gray. For some reason people always comment on how nice these shoes are. I put orthotics in them and am happy to have found them.

I love these sneakers and reorder the same model about every 6 months since I wear them all the time. I teach an exercise class in them and walk in them. They are supportive and don't cause any pain anywhere. I always order a size up to allow my foot to expand when I'm exercising.

These are the only running shoes I've worn in the past few years, so it's difficult for me to judge the size, but I will say that I sometimes do wear size 9 in other shoes, but with these a 9.5 is comfortable, so I'll err on the side of "they run a bit small". I used to wear the Gel Contend 3, and personally didn't feel a huge difference when I got these a few years ago. This line is currently my go-to running shoes (I just stocked up on several pairs so that I don't have to shop for another few years!). I mostly use them for walking, and some jogging. These are advertised as being for 'neutral to underpronation' -- however, I OVERpronate (ie, my ankles fall in), and I don't find these to be uncomfortable or bad for my feet despite them supposedly being somewhat designed for underpronation. Only 3 stars for 'style' because there should be more cool colors! I suppose that's just what I get for buying one of the cheaper lines of shoes though, haha.

Love the shoes and the price!

For and comfort was just as expected. I now own 4 pair of these. The other two are worn out. ??

I wasn't sure, after reading the reviews, what size to buy. With a Nike shoe I wear an 11. A dress shoe is 9 1/2. I went with 10 1/2 and it was perfect. Very comfortable.
