Very cute, but I had to return. Even though at the top of my usual size, my toe was to the end. I anticipated that a hole in the toe would happen in a few months.

The toe box is really small. I ordered up a half size (and got the wide) and the side of my big toe still rubs. Overall a good value, but definitely need to size up!

I walk/run an average of 10 miles per week. I ordered a half size larger than I usually wear in these shoes and they are very comfortable. However, after 4 months, they feel like they are breaking down and not providing as much support as I need. I recommend them if you don’t need specific support for specific foot issues (i.e. bunions, high arches, etc.).

Comfortable shoes. I ordered wide width but these definitely do not fit like wide width in other shoes I wear - they are narrower.

I love the Contends, but the 6 doesn't have as much arch support as the 5's. My arches get ouchy if I'm on my feet all day, but that didn't happen with the Contend 5's. They are comfy and I would still recommend them.

I liked the shoe, but my toes pushed into the end of the shoe on my slightly longer foot. The toe box seemed to be narrower than other ASICS shoes I have purchased and loved. I returned them and didn't think a larger size would work either.

These were too snug to were my regular sox in them and my lighter low-cuts always got pulled down into the heal. This style doesn't seem to have enough arch support for me either so I'm returning them, have ordered another Style of Asics.

I just bought these in the black/rose gold.
I'm not denying that they are a reasonably priced, good quality support shoe, but the look is very dull. I was attracted to the" rose gold" trim, but the trim is actually a peach colour. Not true to online appearance.

I have worn this style Asics for at least 7 years, I add a thin heel, arch insert to make my heel elevate slightly. I walk a brisk average of 3mi. per day . I am 72 years young, and the Asics have been the best Shoe.

I can actually jog in these shoes. I have very high arches. I have been buying ascics since 2002. I have not been able to run in a pair of their shoes since 2003 due to poor quality after I wore out my favorite pair from 2003. I had to get Dr. Scholls arch support inserts for this shoe, their arch support was insufficient. These shoes are very light and breathable. Sometimes they are snug on my heels which can be a little painful. They are the only shoes I have found that are 80% great. The old ones used to be solely for high arches and I did not have to wear arch support.I do not like the new high and normal arch design combined together. I wish they still made strictly high arch support shoes like they used to.

I haven’t run in these yet, but they seem to fit well. I have bunions and the wide option is great. The only downside is the color options now available in wide. Not for me.

I love these shoes. I wanted a pair of sleek black athletic shoes without spending a ton of money. I love these. They are so comfortable, fit true to size. They have parts on the bottom that are just mesh material, so be careful if you’re out in the rain or hiking and come across water. The photos are a little deceiving. But overall, happy with my purchase

I bought ASICS tennis shoes for my daily walk. It is difficult to find walking tennis, usually the one they sell re for running. This are awesome for daily wLk, perfect arch for my feet and perfect cushion. Very confortable!

I ordered a half size larger than I normally do as I have a very wide toe box and use orthotics for my plantar fasciitis. The wide with was just right and so was the length with the half size larger. I normally have a very difficult time finding shoes that fit so I am very pleased that Zappos lets you try them for 30 days to make sure they are a good fit.

These shoes fit well even though the toe box is a little tighter than previous models...not too tight to make them uncomfortable. They have good cushion and a very good neutral fit
