Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend® 5

This is my 3rd pair of these shoes. They last about a year because of all the walking I do. I just plain "wear them out". Love the new color I got.

This is my first pair of ASICS and they fit great. They are comfortable right out of the box and it didn't take long to break them in. I will definitely be buying another pair.

Got theses shoes for walking and light running. They’re comfortable and are true fit, getting a half size up wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Love these shoes -- so comfortable.

This is y second pair. Love the comfort.

Love the look and comfort of these sneakers! I can't comment on the arch support since I bought them to use with my custom orthotics but I love that you can't tell I have them in there.

Comfortable out of the bos. Like the mesh tops. roomy for my toes. Icy morning nice color for the spring.

I haven't bought Asics in years and am so glad I did! These shoes went on the road with me as soon as I got them and made my trip much more comfy.

Bought these for my daughter and thy appear to run a full size smaller than her ASICS Jolt 2. We exchanged for a full size larger and she loves them. These are her new running shoes and the Jolt 2 she's decided to use for everyday.

Fit was what I needed. These sneakers are comfortable the first time I put them on my feet. I always buy two pair when they feel good walking and running in them.

I go up a half size to accommodate my orthotics, but the fit is basically true to size. My heels are narrow but I need a wide toe box for problem toes and Asics are the only brand that fits and are comfortable.

Had to replace my worn out Asics after years of use. Asics are my go to shoe for fit and support.

I really felt these shoes were more comfortable than several others I have ordered this year. Will replace my every day walking shoes.

I am replacing my Asics Gel Contend 5 with a new pair of the same shoes. I usually wear 9-9.5 but had to go up to a 10.5 in these. They fit very well -- I found that with the Asics in size 10 (the size I bought two pairs ago), my toe eventually pokes thru the tip so got a half size larger (10.5) about a year and a half ago and seems to prevent the rubbing that probably led to my toe wearing thru....I am assuming the new Gel Contends I just got are the same as the pair I have been wearing which are very comfortable, long lasting and great overall. ( i do with they would make the laces shorter -- the magenta laces are cute but they are waaaaay tooooo long and I find I have to double bow them (which is a pain to undo) or I end up retying them several times during the class as the one foot steps on the lace of the other foot and pulls the lace apart...

I almost kept these but I'm really looking for a fashion sneaker and these are really a good running/walking shoe. I have narrow feet and plantar fasciitis and Asics have been a good brand for me. Very supportive, insoles come out and an orthodic can be used. I would buy these in the future when I need some new running shoes.

They were comfortable from the start. No break in period.

Great

I like the fit and the light weight. Not sure about the arch support. The color is great and I love the reflective tape worked into the trim.

Like ASICS for the support. A comfortable walking shoe. I prefer to order a half size up. Great price with Zappos as well as free shipping.

I love these shoes, they are so comfortable and are the perfect fit. I have been wearing some type of Asics for the past 5 years and these are my favorite pair so far because of how great they fit.

Out of the box. 10.5 wide, perfect fit, comfy, screaming cool colors!! Love them.

as expected

WOW! Awesome shoe, they fit wonerfully on my "hard to fit" feet. I have worn them shopping and my feet don't hurt! Only 1 negative to give, could not find a solid white for this style shoe. It's snowy in here in Michigan, so can't really test them much outdoors other than good grip.
