Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend® 5

After wearing my new shoes a couple times, a big hole showed up in the mess on the heal

This is my sixth pair of gel contenders. I used to love this shoe, but this pair gave me blisters after walking a mile. The stitching at the top of the tongue was done poorly and is rough and uneven and rubs against your foot. I have tried everything to alleviate the problem but so far no luck. Too bad I had always been a fan of these shoes.

Unfortunately, I should have returned all 3 shoes that I purchased

Not comfortable shoes, first time buying ascis shoes, i bought them because my husband says there the best shoes and i did want to try them. Never buying this brand again very umcortable

shoes made smaller than size and the high back hurts to walk

I am a nurse and have always worn ASICS however this pair has been awful for me. After just 3 hours my feet are in so much pain. I have even put inserts in them to try and help. I won't be able to wear these anymore and I have only had them 4 weeks. VERY disappointing

I have always gotten the same size, these were small in comparison and very uncomfortable, especially across the top of my feet.

I bought these shoes in August 2019. I was walking 2.5-3.1 miles daily in my New Balance shoes (that we're over a year old) and figured I needed a new pair as the soles were breaking down a bit. I bought these 1/2 size larger so there'd be enough room for my wider foot. Got into an instant case of Planters Fasciitis. Had to build up the heel with Dr. Scholl's gel heel insoles. Have used these shoes for basic use, not long walks ever since. They are now only 5 months old and my toes are breaking through the mesh-style material. Going back to New Balace!

I ordered this pair along with several others in the wide size, but they were still too tight. For some reason, Asics changed the size of the toebox on the Kayano Shoes that I have been wearing for years. Since they were too tired, I had to order others to see which ones fit. This was do not shoes that I have been wearing for years. Since they were too tired, I had to order others to see which ones fit. These do not!
