Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend® 5

I love Gel asics! I order them frequently. I do order up a half size and I order a Wide, although in all other shoes I am a medium width. I insert my orthodics into the Gel Ascis, so I prob need the extra room. These sneakers are very comfortable and have always been my go to shoes for comfort. Walking, standing and just life in general. They are the best. I wish they didn't look like athletic shoes sometimes, but I still love them.

Right out of the box comfortable! In regular shoes I'm a 9.5 or 10. In athletic shoes I have to go with 10.5 & these were perfect! Inserts come out easily to accommodate my orthotics. I ordered them in another color & they also fit perfectly. And you can't beat the price.

I bought these for regular everyday sneakers and exercise sneakers....not necessarily for running, but just all around active wear. They look nice enough that I wear them to work on "dress down days" (I'm an elementary school teacher), and they are SO comfortable.

lightweight comfortable shoe. would like a bit more support & cushion from the insole. Definitely lets the air in throught ventilation holes to keep your foot cool.

Fit as expected. Good shoe for standing on feet for over 5 hours.

These shoes are really comfortable. Great support and worth the money.

Great running shoe for someone with a narrow foot and low arches

I can always depend on the consistent fit of ASICS GEL.

My wife loves this model and is on her second pair; great and affordable shoe.

Great arch support! Great sneaks!

They fit true to my size (7.5). This is my third pair of Asics. I love them for my fitness classes at the Y, and for casual walking.

So comfortable straight out of the box!

I am a huge Asics fan, own several pair. This paarticular pair after wearing around the house for a few hours, proved to be a bit uncomfortable. The toe bed is a bid narrow for my feet and I had some big toe discomfort. BUT this is a running shoe and I don't run, I play court sports. That could have been why. All my other Asics are court shoes. I wanted these for the color way.

I really like the fit and comfort of these shoes. I have a lot of problems & pain with my feet. It took me a few tries but I finally found a shoe that fits. Many many thanks for Zappos’ Fantastic customer service!!

Outstanding Tennis shoes. So comfortable. Lots of support. Love the colors. Would buy another pair.

I purchased these for my daughter-in-law and she absolutely loves them! She said it was like “walking on pillows”. She couldn’t believe what a difference these shoes made with her energy level.

These fit beautifully but I had to put in arch support because there was little to none in the sneaker.

I ordered a half size larger than usual due to foot problems and found the shoes to be a bit too wide. My bad! But I only wear them for work so am keeping them. Also wish I’d ordered something brighter. That said, I do recommend this shoe!

I have narrow feet, high instep and plantar fascitis. Every athletic shoe I buy I have to rig with orthotics to make them fit and they are never comfortable. This shoe is perfect! They are narrow. I wear an 8.5 N; I ordered 8.5 M and was surprised how narrow they are. Perfect for me but if you don't have narrow feet it may be a challenge. I can feel the arch support. The insole is memory foam and it cushions the ball of my foot and my heel. The heel of the shoe hugs my foot. I cannot say enough good about these shoes. They are perfect for feet like mine -- and I rarely find shoes that really fit!
