To me the show is comfortable and lite it seems to be working for my foot type.

Nice shoes, look great, comfortable and not to heavy. I've bought the same size Asics for years, these felt a bit tighter than normal, but not enough to return them. I'd go up a half size if I bought again.

Feels good and secure. It might be my socks but this shoe is snug! That's a good thing, but most shoes I've had have been looser than this.

Hubby loves this brand and have bought them in past. Although he is wearing this one he said it seems a bit smaller than his last pair that is same size. He thinks they just need breaking in.

My husband is almost a consistent 8.5 medium width in these types of shoes. He has other Asics running shoes that are an 8.5 medium. He tried two colors of the Contend-5 and both were much narrower than his other shoes. We aren't ordering a different size because the length was okay. Looked like nice shoes and the price was good, but definitely made differently than other Asics. Had to return.

Very comfortable shoe.
I would give these 5 stars but I've only had them for a short time.
I tried to use my custom orthotic inersoles as soon as I got these shoes but the heel cup rides too low - so far - I haven't needed them.
These shoes seem to have gel in the right places for me and the metetarsal area feels well supported.
I've only had these shoes for a month, but I like them so much, I am going to buy a couple more pairs before they change anything!

Really liked the shoes and the great service, but they smaller in the toe box and the middle foot area was walking on the edge to sole. Needed to order large than 4E which was not available.

Very comfortable. Felt a little pinched at first in the toe. But after a couple wears it’s better.

A nice sneaker, especially for the price, and a good alternative to the more $$$s gel-nimbus. However, it runs narrower than the nimbus (20), so take that into consideration. ASIC needs to skimp less on width or introduce a 6E width on some of their shoes.

ASICS normally has a big toe box. These were pretty cramped for me.

I wear a 10 4E and these were too narrow. Not what I expected for a 4E shoe. Return was easy and ordered an Asic Gel Venture 6 as a replacement. I needed an under pronation shoe. I usually wear Brooks Beast, but they are so expensive. The shoes were here the very next day! Lightning speed delivery and these fit very well! Thank you Zappos!

I'm new to Asics but they always seem to have high comfort ratings in reviews.
I'm using this primarily as a working out / walking shoe and so far it is very comfortable. I appreciate the availability in extra wide sizes - with the 4E width option, the show fits me very well.

The fit is a lot looser than I expected. They are very light and I haven't had a chance to run yet to see how well the sole cushions.

Had a hard time getting them on. Very tight, even after lessening the stings up. I had to look to see if they sent me a woman’s shoe, but it was marked male.
