I like the Nimbus 21 larger toe room better that the Gel contend. I just use them for around the house and around town but not for aerobics.

Like other reviewers, I ordered up 1/2 size and the fit is quite good. This shoe runs small so the 1/2 size up made it comfortable. These are very breathable shoes.

The shoes are super comfortable! It's my first time trying them and I would definitely buy another pair. Which I did for my husband.

I love the look of these but they’re not incredibly comfy. Kind of too hard for my foot and made them ache after wearing all day.

These sneakers are super comfortable and I love the color combo. There is not a lot of arch support, if that is what you are looking for.

It would be helpful if you gave info about whether the insole is removable for orthotics and washing. These do not have a removable insole.

I like the shoe. I had envisioned using it for walking 2+ miles each day on paved surfaces. I discovered it doesn't have enough support as part of the upper body of the shoe for this activity. It's great for normal daily activities like errands, short walks, chores, etc. I like the color and the look of the shoe as well.

Fit was perfect for 6.5. I had stopped wearing Asics for a few years because the cut changed just a bit and they were were suddenly not the usual width. The fit is back and they no longer feel too tight over the bunion area. The comfort is good and the padding is adequate. I was happy wearing the NB Fresh Foam Arishi 2 but they are no longer available. The reviews on the next version are not very good. Glad I tried the Asics again.
I'd also recommend:
NB, skechers

The fit is good. The shoes are very comfortable. The one problem is the insole is glued in and I cannot use my orthotics in them. I won't be able to wear them for long walks.

I like these shoes for the fit and style! They're super comfy, but I would recommend them for walking not running, as they don't have as much arch support as I usually like.

Firm sole for support and stability but still enough cushioning for long runs. I really like the tight fit in the heal. Most shoes are too wide for my narrow feet. Runs a little small - needed to size up for length.

I like these a lot! They are super cute and don't make my foot look long which is nice. They are comfy most of the day but for all day wear my feet do hurt a bit by the end of the day but not enough to keep me from wearing them. Also thus far they are wearing really well, they still look new several weeks in.

I really wanted to keep these sneakers, but I had to return. I love Asics and they generally fit me well, but with the left shoe of this style, my pinky toe kept hitting the outside area making it difficult for me to walk. I even tried to put in my orthotics, but it did not help much. Disappointed...

I love my ASCIS GEL-CONTEND 6 they are very breathable, the color is beautiful and there's plenty of space around my toes. With that being said, I would NOT wear this for running. I'm a big fan of ASICS running shoes but this one, does not make the cut for me. The shoe lacks arch support big time. I had to insert insoles. Great news is that my insoles fit like a glove. Also, the padding on the sides is too high that it constantly rubs against my "Medial Malleolus" (inner ankle), tibia and fibula. The insoles help a little with this as well because it raises my foot. Defiantly NOT for running. I find them great to wear around the house though.
Fios,

I return to buying these shoes every 6-8 months, especially now that I have been walking more. The size is perfect for me. I usually add additional heel support to prevent plantar fasciitis which had been a problem for me in the past. As another reviewer noted, I also do seem to wear through the material near my big toes.

I love these shoes! They are very cozy comfy and feel great. They aren't quite as sturdy as my old Asics: they have a bit more flexibility on the footbed. But I like them enough that I bought a second pair!

So disappointed these are too short. I have been wearing these Asics Gel-Contend Shoes for at least 10 years. Due to back and joint issues, I have been wearing a pair daily (swapping out between a different pair) for the past 5 years. They have always fit perfectly and given great service. I think a larger size will be too big.

These are comfortable, but my right pinky toe tends to rub against the side more than with the other ASICS sneakers I bought. Aside from that, the width is otherwise pretty good. Decent amount of arch support without extra insoles. I'm happy with it except I wish the top right was a tiny bit wider.

These did not provide as much arch support as I would have hoped and did not feel as though they had a ton of support. Had to buy other shoes a month or two later.
