Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend® 5

These fit great. The size I normally wear in a sneaker was correct with these. I find them to be very comfortable. Overall, I'm super happy with these. I'm a dog walker, so on my feet a lot.

Ordered the 8 1/2 then the 9, both were snug in width. Tried the wide but it not seem better than medium. There is a band across the top between laces, and I have found that is new for all Asic shoes. I have other Asic that do not have the band across and they are more comfortable. Could just be my foot.

I wore these to the gym the first night I had them. Did my workout plus 30 minutes on the treadmill. Super comfortable and no heel slip!

I am recovering from a fractured foot and needed to find a comfortable pair of sneakers that would also accommodate my orthotics for plantar fasciitis. This sneaker did all of that and more! It is very comfortable from the moment i put them on. The cushiony insole can stay in the shoe along with my orthotics, which usually is not the case with other sneakers. No break in period for these sneakers either. I tried a pair of Hoka One One sneakers but found the arch support too severe for my feet and returned them. Not to say those were bad sneakers, just not ones that worked for me. I would recommend the ASICS GEL-Contend 5 for their comfort and support and the price is very reasonable too.

My daughter loves them. They feel like walking on a cushion.

These sneakers are amazing! I recently started running 5 days a week, ( on my treadmill) about 2 miles a day and I did not have supportive running sneakers...Until I purchased these. They have way more support and are cushioned , making my runs much more enjoyable! I am usually a 9 or 9.5..I went with 9.5 and they are perfect fit. I was able to use them, right away, without having to break them in . If you are a new runner, looking for a starter running shoes, this is it!

This seems to be a great shoe if it would have fit me. Unfortunately, I have wide feet with a high instep.

I always come back to ASICS because they consistently fit and wear well. I wear 7 1/2 M but have a narrow heel, and these shoes hug my heel and don't slip.

Very comfortable for my exercise class. Probably not for trail running, but that’s not what I want to do anyway. They are much admired by my fellow classmates.

Feel like buttur all around! I got the white color and they look and feel superior!

Follow the majority of reviews here -- order at 1/2 size larger than what you usually wear.

These are comfortable and supportive

Perfect fit for my 10N street size feet. If you normally wear a medium, that width is unlikely to work for you.

This is a good looking and very comfortable shoe.

With a size 11W it's always a great time trying to find shoes. Thankfully Zappos can help me out with this just a bit. After being unimpressed by a pair of New Balance shoes I tried these out instead. I ordered my first set in my regular 11W size and while they felt reasonably comfortable my toes we're mushed against the shoe so I returned them and went with a 12W instead. They fit perfect! I probably would have been okay with a 11.5W, but wasn't interested in having another return. I typically wear a size 11W in both Nike and Skechers.

Super comfy and stylish. Fit like a glove right out of the box. Cant beat the value for such a great shoe.

I have 2 or 3 pair of Asics and I love them and that they come in wide. All of them are well worn and I keep them to knock around in. I truly needed a new pair for the summer. I walk 4-5 miles as many times a week as I can. Usually at least 4, These shoes have great arch support and are light weight. They were a bit snug when I first put them on but walked around the house and they seemed better. I'll wear them indoors again tomorrow and I'm pretty sure they are going to be just fine. They look very much like my last pair but lighter in color so I hope that i can keep them looking clean since I often are on trails.

Excellent

These fit perfectly right out of the box. I wear a size 5 and sometimes have a hard time finding shoes. Zappos always has a great selection. This is my 2nd pair of Aasics. Some reviews said the toe box was small, however these fit exactly like my last pair. The toe tapers a bit but there is still plenty of room! So happy with my purchase!

Shoes fit perfectly. Needed no breaking in. Felt comfy from the moment I put them on. I’m very glad I found them.

Nice running shoe. Reasonably priced with good support.

Wore these for the first time to an Orangetheory workout. Nice comfort, acceptable on impact and hours later my feet were happy. No sores or ill-fit issues!

I have always ordered Asics because I like the cushioning and gels in the front and rear. I find that the Asics seem more narrow than in previous years so I'm ordering the wide width. I also have orthotics and they fit well in Asics.

Needed a good pair of walking shoes... these are an incredible price though I’m not in love with the style I’m in total and complete love with the fit and comfort
