Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend® 6

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!

I love these sneakers. I have wide feet and these are very comfortable. The base has a lot of support and feels sturdy. I wear these to walk and for running. The ventilation is nice as well, and my feet don’t get too hot. I keep coming back to this brand and model because I love it! I love the rose gold. It’s still neutral but I feel it elevates the style.

Great shoe!

Love these shoes! They may fit a little snug but I don’t think they are actually running a small, just a snugger fit than some shoes. They are fairly lightweight. Super comfortable, breathable fabric.

Great

I ordered a size wide and I am glad, they fit perfectly. I do have a wide foot but many sneakers run wide; these do not. But overall the design is good and they are great walking shoes.

I always order a half size larger because I wear thick socks in them. These offer the most stability in a shoe I've ever had.

I wear a size 11 and this was great. It felt super comfortable when I put the shoes on. I'm training to do a half marathon next year, and these shoes made a huge difference in my training runs. My feet don't hurt after running a couple miles, and it's much easier to go faster when running.

So glad I went with these shoes. They are so comfortable!
