Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend® 7

I ended up returning these. I liked the look of them, they ran small so I would have needed to size up a half size. The main problem is the last pair of $100 Nikes I bought had the same sort of mesh as these , and ended up ripping within a couple months of normal wear. I wasn’t willing to risk it again with these shoes.

These are such cute shoes, and they got a great review online for walking shoes. Looking to replace my Hoka One One's with something new (and not broken down) I ordered these, which were 50% less than the Hokas. Sadly, after walking around my house in them for about fifteen minutes my toes started to go numb. Had they not, I would have kept them for every day wear. They just didn't have the toe room that the Hokas have, so I returned them, bit the bullet, and bought a new pair of Hokas. FYI, my feet are not wide, but as I've gotten older my toes really need a bigger toe box so...sigh. Wish I could have kept them!

The fit was very tight. It did not feel like a wide width. I think they would feel very comfortable if they were fitting properly.

I got these in a 7.5 wide but they are narrower than the previous version that I purchased in a 7 wide. They were not at all comfortable in the toe box. Pity. Previous version fit well, I just wanted a little more length at the tips of my toes. Will return.

This makes a good shoe to run errands. I wouldn’t run in it because there is not that much padding.

Have been wearing asics-gel sneakers for quite some time. Very comfortable and I have a narrow foot. Unfortunately I had to return them because my regular size 81/2 too small. It appears the sizing is not consistent. I like to purchase from zappos , no hassle and free returns.

This is my second pair of ASICS. They are very comfortable. The first pair I bought had a suggestion to size up a whole size. This pair I bought my normal size but had to return them and size up a whole size. Never worn a larger size in any other brand!

Overall I’m happy with the purchase but buyer with wide feet beware of sizing! I am usually a size 9 wide but knowing ASICS runs small, I ordered a 9.5 wide and I could barely slide my foot into it. I returned for a 10 wide but it really feels like a regular 10…not a 10 wide. I do love the shoe so I’m going to keep the 10 and just wear thinner socks. For those concerned about the toe box for those ordering a full size up - my toe hits perfectly where it should. I don’t feel like I’m wearing clown shoes. Love Zappos customer service and return/exchange policy! They’re the best!

When I first got them I thought I would have to return them, because they felt too small but after I had them on it was a different story. They fit perfectly but I could never wear socks with them. So I’m going to order 2 additional pairs in the next half size up but I’ll keep these for wearing without socks. At 71, post heart attack & leading a relatively sedentary life. I have to credit these for helping me walk more than 28,000 steps this week in total comfort. They cushion your feet so well.

These walking shoes are the BEST I’ve ever had! I have wide feet (but narrow heel), and they’re so comfortable—front (generous toe box) and back cushioning around the top where it meets your ankle and Achilles’ tendon). I also am a supinate (walk more in the outside of my foot than on my arch). I did the research and found a great shoe for supination. (Zappos, you’re great, but you could be even better at highlighting the brands snd styles that are better for those of us who supinate and pronate. ?)

Very lightweight and comfortable perfect for fast walking with the dogs around town. I usually need to add inserts for arch support, but did not need to do so with these sneakers.

I'm so glad I found ASICS on Zappos! What a great selection. These shoes fit perfectly!

Super comfy and don't need to be broken in

My Ascis shoes are very comfortable. Plenty of room in the toe box. Highly recommend these shoes.

These sneakers are super comfortable and fit true to size. Usually I purchase separate gel insoles but with these there was no need. I bought them solely for treadmill running and so far they’re great. Considering the price I don’t expect them to last forever, but I’ll be happy to buy a new pair next year.

Great for a 2-4 mile walking commute! Cushy but supportive. I tried a few more expensive brands at the local sporting goods store, but they didn't seem comfortable or better in any way. I wish they came in more choices of light colors for summer, but at least my feet and my pocketbook feel great.

Never had a shoe by them fit this tightly. Been buying Asics for years, always in the same size. No idea how sizing changed but these shoes were painful to wear. Colorway is on point.

I've worn Asics for years. This style was too short.

Not wide like most wide width shoes and felt too short

This felt very small on left foot (even though my right foot is larger). After wearing it 1 day decision made to return. My left foot hurt badly especially heel. First miss at Zappos. Will continue to order here.

I have numerous pairs of Gel Contend 3 and 5 in size 7 1/2 M. However, I had to return the Gel Contend 7 because I could barely fit into them! I’m very disappointed!

I really think this shoe was mislabeled somehow because when I took them out of the box, they looked too small to be a size ten and they were also very narrow and I ordered a wide width. The inside of the shoe shows is labeled size 10 Wide. When I tried to put them on, I couldn't even get my foot in the shoe.

A little tight on one of my feet but I’ve been doing a lot of long distance walking which is probably the cause not the shoe being wrongly sized. I have very narrow feet and these work fantastically for me. I’m also extremely prone to blisters and in all 3 pairs of ASICS I’ve had this hasn’t been an issue!

Snug fit but comfortable so far. Got these for work as I'll be walking on concrete floors most of the day. Style is cute for being a size 10.

Favorite tennis shoe!
