Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend® 7

The Gel-Contend 7 are good sturdy shoes, I use them for casual wear as I found them not to have the cushion of the Nimbus or Cumulus and do not work for me running or using the elliptical.

Very nice, well built and comfortable shoes. I wear them all day and don't feel like I can't wait to take them off at the end of the day. The toe box could be a little wider. That is why I ordered them.

Nice sole structure & very soft comfortable upper.

ASICS are the only shoe i wear other than my work boots. They are usually comfortable but I have very wide feet so I have to ( break in) the shoes slowly so my feet are not aching for days.

My old ASICS are about 10 yrs old. With some superglue and new insoles they've been warriors all these yrs. My second pair of ASICS really, my first pair are my yard work shoes. Pretty much only wear these at the gym for workouts so they've never seen the pavement. However with age some sole sections are sort of glazed over and they are a little slippery on the hardwood floors, so time to replace. So I turned back to ASICS. Overall I've found they offer a somewhat wide toe box area. My foot is normally a D width but even in ASICS I go for the extra wide to be sure my toes have the space they need due to arthritic big toes. Got 4E and they are not excessively wide in my heel or mid foot, while my toes do not feel cramped like too many normal shoes that never fit me well. These look a bit narrow in the toe area but they feel ok. Reasonable cushioning and comfortable fit for my cardio workouts. I don't run due to toes problems but I do a lot of indoor power walking, step, cardio kickboxing and similar. These shoes seem decent and should last me quite some time. I generally workout about 1 hr per day normally 5-6 days per wk, so not a heavy user. For my needs these are decent. At the half off pricing, it was a great deal.
