Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Scram® 5

I have a job that requires me to be on my feet nearly all day, so I need comfortable shoes. I wear a size 8 and these are true to size. I have narrow feet and I don't feel like my feet are swimming in these shoes. They're lightweight, I love the colors, and so far, they have kept my feet from hurting. I have many pairs of Asics shoes and I've yet to be disappointed by any of them.

Great fitting, very comfortable shoe. Feels true to size with reasonable arch support. No break-in time necessary. Felt great right out of the box. This is my third pair of ASICS and I highly recommend them.

I purchased this model in Gel-Scram 4 and was very happy with the shoe. This version has no arch support which I need. I was disappointed in ASICS. I returned them and got a much more expensive ASICS with good arch support. Too bad. The version before was great and especially for the price.

These fit ok, but they weren't overly comfortable. I was looking for some sneaker type shoes to run errands, etc, but my feet are picky at this stage in the game. These shoes didn't have arch support like I need and weren't as comfortable for walking as I had hoped. Returned, to try again.

Felt super narrow, weird for ASICS. Also the colors were not as cute in person. Looked more blue than grey and the “pink” was more like dirty cream.

I usually wear a 7.5 in Asics and this one fits true to size. I use my own orthotics in athletic shoes, and the removable insert makes this easy. Very pleased with this shoe.

I bought these shoes for trail walking and they are perfect. Good grip on the sole, love the blue colors, and they are very comfortable. I typically wear a size 6 to 6 1/2, often a 7 in a workout shoe. The 6 1/2 on these fit perfectly.

Very comfortable shoes. They have a good amount of flexibility and shock absorption. Good support around the ankle. They definitely feel as thought they'll hold up well for some time. I purchased my usual size and don't see any problem with the fit. The grey part is a bit darker than it appears in the photo and the mesh portion has some purple to it when in the sunlight. The laces are lighter than they appear in the photo. The purple portions of the shoe are more prominent than I expected, so that's something to consider.

I have a 12 N foot and high arches. Almost no sneakers come in 12 N, so my default is SAS. They are very well made and very comfortable, albeit not gorgeous. Anyway, I also have a pair of Asics gel 12 M which I probably bought at a Nordstrom Rack- the “on sale” mentality. They have been a great fit and very reliable and comfortable. With covid quarantine I have been walking many miles a day, and decided it was time for new sneakers. I took a chance on Asics Gel, without really knowing anything about the different styles. When ordering, I went with 4-5-star shoes and I avoided ones which seemed only for running, as I am not a runner. I ended up trying Venture 7, GT 1008, Scram 5, and Contend 6. The GT 1000-8 went back in its box right away- it felt heavy and stiff and was not a quiet walk. The Scram 5 was instantly comfortable when I put it on, and I am keeping it. The other two are very close, for my foot, and I ended up picking the Contend 6, as it is just slightly more comfortable on my foot, although I very much also liked the Venture 7. Now I have to decide if I am keeping my new SAS Tour Mesh- the problem with them is only cosmetic- they make my feet look quite long. The Asics Gel shoes do not have that effect- I just look like a normal person wearing a normal sneaker. For a size 12 gal, that is a fabulous experience.

love these shoes and the price~i bought two pair. i've gotten tons of compliments. the shoes are comfy and give good support for zumba, aerobics, and cross fit. i also walk a lot and have happy feet after wearing these shoes.

I walk about 4 miles, three or four times a week and these are very comfortable. They are true to fit for my normal size 9 and accommodated my orthotic inserts after removing the factory installed insert. They have good cushioning and feel supportive. Would recommend.

First day feels great

Felt very narrow in the toebox. Shoes otherwise were comfortable, but too tight for any extended walking.

These are a little narrow but great shoes
