For some unknown reason, my feet are growing as fast as Pinnochio’s nose. I tried Nike’s, forgetting that for me, they run small. I remembered I had a pair of ASICS that I liked so decided to try them again. These are moderately priced, light weight, and comfortable. Ive worn a medium width for years but this time I decided on a wide. I’m glad I did. I love Zappos for many reasons. Free shipping and returns and, I can find large size shoes for women!
I'd also recommend:
Spenco if they need a supportive shoe. ASICS are very nice for working out.

Love these shoes! This is my second pair of Asics and I thought my first ones, size 11, were getting too roomy, so I ordered the 10.5 which were too small. Most of my shoes are between 10 and 10.5 so I feel this brand must run small. But OMG, these 11's are so comfortable!

I got these because I am not sure if I overpronate or underpronate. The price point is nice to try. They are very comfy. I did the elliptical a lot with them and if I have been on it for over an hour, the padding starts to feel like not enough. If that is the case, I should just get a different pair of shoes. Overall, they are really great and I love the colors!

Comfortable, supportive, and the price point is just right! This is my second pair, so you know they've got to be comfy. These shoes are all that and more. In fact, I've still got the first pair, two years old, but I know the drill. For walking, running, and general kindness to one's feet these are IT for me. Why mess with perfection? I would highly recommend these.

The shoes are comfortable but still not as wide as I am used to when purchasing wide sneakers from other brands. The cushion is lovely and it's extremely easy to walk in these. Just wish they were a little wider

These shoes are cute and comfortable just to run around town. But when it comes to running. Which I do 3 miles a day. They do not do well. My toes hurt and blister every time.

This shoe has great support. However, if you are looking for immediate comfort for problem feet, this shoe is probably not your best bet. I have severe arthritis and will only be able to wear these for a couple of hours without pain.

Working a job where you are 98.9% on your feet (not including lunch). I know I need a shoe that'll get me through. I like them so far it's just you can't wear thick socks with them. I brought a half size bigger because I have wide and flat feet that can't be squeeze into a shoe, but now that I know about this over and under pronation I'll order the correct shoe for flat feet because my dogs are all barked out at this point. Overall comfy shoe I'll see how long the insoles hold up in these that's the main thing..

These feel great! I was looking for a good shoe to help alleviate the knee pain I've been experiencing. These definitely help. I also workout in them.

These shoes are very comfortable and provide overall good support. Although they do not provide quite enough arch support, that is likely due to preexisting feet health issues.

I like these a lot! They're a little heavier than my other pair of running shoes but have better support. I am coming from a pair of New Balances and I'm happy that with these ASICS I can run further without my shins hurting.

I'm a very new runner. I ran a few times with an old pair of Nike trainers that shredded my shins and I was in pain after 20 minutes of running for days. Wearing Gel Contend 5, I could run to almost an hour before my legs started hurting but it's not the long lasting kind of pain like I got before. They have a lot of nice support for the arch of my feet. I don't feel the unsettling force of my feet hitting the ground on my entire body like I did with other shoes. They are very comfortable and don't chafe on the back of my feet (or anywhere else). The run true to size and are perfect for jog/run but if I try to do any exercises that involve moving my feet laterally, my feet slip in them sideways a bit.
