Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend® 6

I wear a 12W and was happy to find feminine looking sneakers in that size. Since I bought them for walking, I was disappointed there isn't any arch support at all (they are flat). Since the price was okay, I would have kept them, except the narrower toe area began to hurt my right big toe after walking around my house for 10 minutes.

I will admit, I have problem feet. I have a Morton's neuroma, I have high arches, and plantar fasciitis. I used to run, but now I can only walk, and some days, barely shuffle due to pain. So, it's important to me to have shoes that support my feet. I have an old pair (probably almost 10 years) of Asics that were great, super arch support, and a wide toe, so I was looking forward to getting another pair. Unfortunately, these shoes did not have the same qualities. I run 8.5 - 9, but these shoes were so tight I could probably go up to a 10. I ordered the Wide, but the toe box was cramped, and with my neuroma that is just asking for pain, so I didn't dare walk in them even a little. There was no arch support at all, flat as a pancake, which was disappointing. Especially since they are SO CUTE and I love the reflective material since I walk in pre-dawn hours. Luckily Zappo's has that great return policy, so back they go.

I feel like I’m falling forward and they fill heavy

This is a very nice looking shoe but the fit was not for my foot and sadly I had to return them. I have a long narrow foot but with bunions that need extra room in the toe box. It seems that manufacturer is making shoes smaller in length and width even in in the widerD .

By far not the most comfortable Asics for longer walks. My feet felt rather warm on the bottoms and not a lot of cushion or support is provided.

I buy Asics shoes all the time and not liking these gels no arch support. my feet were sore. they will sit in the closet i guess.

To me, these are more like good walking or everyday wear shoes, but not running shoes. I felt like there was not enough cushioning of impact for running. MIght be OK on a treadmill, but that's not where I'm running these days.

Much too narrow and i ordered a wide felt a little short as well

I have never purchased a pair of ASICS and was hoping to find a new brand. I love the way these shoes fit, however after wearing them I noticed that my ankle hurt. They also caused the skin to tear on my toes. I have never had this issue with other shoes. All the problems resolved when I switched shoes. Not sure why this happened, but I definitely would not recommend this shoe.

I bought a full size larger given the reviews, I think I'd have been fine with a 1/2 size larger (which is more typical for a running shoe). The shoe feels like it has very little cushioning - the opposite of what I'd been looking for. Worse still - after 3 5-mile walks in 1 week, I'm now having severe heel pain. Something I've never had. Bad shoe, will have to replace asap.
