Purchased 2/6/22. Already have a hole in the fabric near the pinky toe. Regular use. Nothing wild. Just really thin, cheap material.

Maybe they need to be broken in, but I felt no refreshed support with this new pair. I bought the same style for the last 4 purchases.

I have been wearing Asics for 25 years and never have I received a pair of shoes as bad as these. They are not true to size, the are short, tight, and generally uncomfortable, even after trying to break them in for 3 weeks. I hope that this is just a quality control issue with this pair, but even the sole makes it feel like walking in work boots. I will continue to buy Asics, just hoping this is a one off

I just bought the Gel Contend 7 in size 11 and a half 4E because I have an old pair of Gel Contend 3 in the same size. That shoe is so comfortable, it is like wearing slippers. This new Gel Contend has a very narrow toe box. I feel my little toes crushed with every step. I wear out a pair of shoes every six months as a I walk miles every day. I cannot wait to wear out these shoes so I can buy another brand.

I don't know how they can get away with calling these extra wide. I seriously wonder if they accidentally sent regular width shoes - though the box says 4E. My son is so disappointed.

I've bought ASICS for quite a while and I think they are the best shoe out there. Unfortunately the Gel-Contend 7 is not up to the standards of previous models. The biggest problem is that they are severely small. My big toes are crammed into the inside of the shoe to the point where I can't wear them. They are also extremely narrow in the toe area. If you're going to buy this shoe, then order a full size larger and wider.

There was something strange about these shoes. I have bought tons of Asics brand shoes for myself and my kids. They are usually great. This shoe had different materials and weird soles. They seemed cheap and small. I'm wondering if some kind of knock-off got into the supply chain. Don't give up on the brand.

Super comfy shoe but zero durability! Not even six months with intermittent wearing, the bottom is separating from both shoes starting at the toe.

I purchased these shoes based on my previous experience with Asics running shoes. I walk as a means of exercise and have never had issues with my feet. After one wear, my arcs are destroyed. I can't put weight on my right foot. I do not recommend these running shoes to anyone. Other than that, they look good.

Bought these for my son for work. He works a restaurant and he said he cannot wear them after wearing them one time because they were so slippery he fell twice. Very unfortunate that I cannot return them because they were worn once. Beware of anyone buying these for a work shoe as generally all black sneakers are bought for that purpose.

Stylish shoes. However, for me, they were too tight and crushed my feet. I sent them back to Zappos.
