The shoes fit well but if I lace them as tight as I typically like my shoes the right one digs into the back of my ankle. Also, it could just be a break in period but the first few days my feet were killing me and I couldn't wait to get home and take them off.

I buy Asics because their wide sizes have always been perfect for my foot. This show is satisfactory but feels more narrow than the previous 4E shoes I have ordered.

If you're coming from Contend 6 to the 7, here's what you want to know. The shoe overall is the same. There is less padding/cushion in the new 7 than you're used to in the 6. Thus, there is a size difference (imo). In the Contend 6, I had to go up to 12.5; the 12 were ever so slightly too snug and 12.5 ever so slightly too large but usable. The Contend 7 size 12 is perfect, I think this is due to less padding. The pair I purchased however is going back due to a noticeable difference in L vs R, the L feels a few mm lower than the R, the thought reinforce by tight tendon in L leg after a short walk. Hope that helps. Wish shoe companies would anchor a few shoes for more than a year!

I bought these for my husband, and he loves them. Wears them for our road walks and bike rides. They are comfortable and good looking (but they do pick up dirt because they're light colored).

Got these a few weeks ago cause they are similar to the 2015/16 Nike Free Runs and they're 100% more comfortable. Nike just isn't the same anymore. So happy with these I ordered another pair and a pair of the contend 8 before they sell out.
Stop looking at the reviews and just order already!

I've bought and used ASICS running/walking shoes for over a decade and have been very pleased with the fit, comfort and distance (~1,400) miles with each pair. The GEL-CONTEND 7 Extra wide is consistent with my experience of previous pairs.

Very comfortable and versatile. I use them to run in, lift weights in, do plyometrics in, calisthenics in and martial arts in and these shoes hold up wonderfully. So much so, that I bought a 2nd pair before they are discontinued.

I bought these for my 17 year old WIDE-FOOTED son. He loves them so much that he tells me weekly. "Thanks mom, I have never wanted to run so much in my life." These have solved his arch pain. I just bought a second pair and put them in my closet, just in case they go out of stock when we need more.

Switched from Brooks Ghost and this shoe just seems more stable, breathable, and more comfortable for 1/2 the price.

I love my new shoes! I've had Asics before and liked them a lot, so they were my go-to first when looking for new shoes. I like how Asics follows up with customers, especially right after I received them. When it's time for new ones, I'll be back!

Great fitting shoes that are very comfortable. Like most new shoes they were a little stiff at first, but after walking in them a few times they loosened up and are very comfortable with great support.

Great fit. Note that the sizes run smaller than average, so order 1/2 to 1 size larger.

My son's favorite shoes. He has wide feet and I get the extra wide. He has a hard time finding shoes that he finds comfortable.
