Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend® 5

the fit and size were perfect. I put these shoes on and walked for 2 hours and haven't been able to do that for over a year. I haven't had a shoe that felt this good for a very long time. I bought 2 pair of different color of course.

Very nice shoe, but runs small.

These shoes feel wonderful! Support my feet for walking, cardio class and strength training.

These feel great for cross training- running, volleyball, and basketball. Wide foot and VERY picky about shoes.

They fit great. Material soft and comfortable. Put on and was able to wear them without breaking them in. I love this shoe.

Perfect

just what I have been looking for! If you are between sizes I would advise you go up 1/2. I read the reviews and several mentioned they were “short” and - or narrow. I have never had any luck with any size except my usual 8.5, Going up to a 9 never has worked for me. Also my foot is a little narrow, but not so much so that I can’t wear a medium in a lace up. So all these things converged in this shoe and it fits and is very comfortable. I wear them for walking (sidewalks) and for aerobics and they are perfect for these uses. I also like the look - not real “hi-tech” but nice, and the color accent adds some zip.

Love these shoes. Great support and fit (true to size) and love the light blue color.

These shoes are fantastic! These shoes have structure to them, including the heel. I tried a different brand before the ASICS and they were like a glorified sock with a sole attached. This pair of ASICS has structure for the heel and sides to give support. This is my first pair of ASICS shoes ever. They fit perfectly right out of the box. For me, they did not require a break-in time. I loved them so much I ordered the same style just in a different color.

This shoe is so comfortable. Great price and best pair of tennis shoes I've bought in a long time.

I had worn New Balance walking shoes for many, many years. But their updated 847v3's just weren't comfortable at all for me. So I tried these Asics for the first time and like them so far. They rub a little near my ankle bone, but hopefully that will improve once they're broken in. I like the mesh and the fun aqua accents. Hard to find women's walking shoes that aren't really made for running. Good value, too.

I own another similar style of ASICS that I’ve worn for years to the gym. My only issue was my toes were hitting the front of the shoe so for these I went up a size. I usually wear 7.5 or 8 but bought 8.5 and they are perfect! Love ASICS because they are light weight and have great support. They were recommended to me by a body builder friend and he didn’t steer me wrong!

Comfortable shoe, great for working out and walking.

For an everyday shoe, these Asics are great! They have a good combination of comfort and support and fit really well. I wear them almost every day.

These work well for me cushion-wise. I'm very overweight and its hard to find shoes with enough cushion. I place the Sof Sole AIRR Insoles on top of the insoles already in the shoe and these together provide enough cushion to get me through 3-4 months of daily wear. I replace the shoes AND the insoles every 3-4 months. This combination is a tad tight when the shoes are new but once broken in it works perfectly. I roll out and these shoes keep me fairly stable and centered, more than most tennis shoes which usually push my feet outward. I use them for regular light walking to and from places. I have not walked in them for prolonged periods or ran in them so I cannot speak to that.
