Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend® 7

very comfortable, decent support, smooth inside toes don't rub up against.

Comfy

i ordered a 9 because i knew thats what i needed BUT im usually an 8-81/2 in most shoes. they were comfortable, just too chunky looking for what i wanted.

I initially ordered a size 8.5, my usual size in sneakers. They were a little too short in length and too narrow in the toe box. I sized up to a size 9W and they fit perfectly. Sizing up to a 9W didn’t make the sneakers look too big or clownish, they are still very cute!

I like the look and color of this shoe. I'm really a size 10.5 but in a sneaker I always order an 11 so there is plenty of room for my toes and any swelling while I workout. Oddly the 11 was very tight on my foot. I had trouble getting my foot into the sneaker, and my toes were very close to the end. I would have re-ordered in a size 11.5 but they were out of stock at Zappos. I ended up ordering the 11.5 directly from a Asics instead. I love Zappos though with all their sizes and free shipping and returns, and I'll be a loyal customer whenever I can.

These were too small, so I had to return them. My past pair were a perfect fit, but higher end ASICS? I am still awaiting my refund.

The shoe was too small i my regular size. Width was ok but not the length. Love the color and the style

They’re cute, light-weight and comfy but they run small. I had to order a half-size bigger that what I normally wear in sneakers/ASICS.

Asics is my go to sneaker; however, I feel they have changed the quality. The size is good for me; however, they appear to be more narrow than the other pair I purchased last year. I am keeping the sneakers and using a support cushion inside as I don’t feel they are as comfortable.

cute, comfy, light but runs too small. exchanged for a half size bigger

These are smaller than my last pair of Asics. They are still ok, but not as comfortable as I would like

Not much arch support for me but I have unusually high arches. I ordered many different walking/running shoes ( thanks Zappos!!) before choosing these. I can't believe how small all of the athletic shoes are now, I am an 8 and a half size medium in everything EXCEPT athletic shoes!!! Had to get a 9 wide to be able to wear the thick socks and arch supports I need for comfort. Liked these so much that I ordered a pair for my sister too.

I have always just reordered my shoe . . . but had to do this new version . . . felt smaller than previous shoe and there is much less arch support . . . after months of wearing them, though, they are ok

This brand continues to be the brand that works for me. But this pair does fit snuggly and I think I’ Get a half size larger next time.

I had to find a shoe for my custom orthotics…..I think I found it with this shoe!

The shoes are acceptable but I'm beginning to think I need to order a half size larger as my foot may be "spreading" out a bit. Regardless I am sold on Aspics for my foot because that brand hits my feet in all the right places.In addition they look good and the lighter color will transfer into spring/summer will.

The shoes were very attractive and seemed well-constructed, but they fit me too snugly and I had to return them. This was my first pair of ASICS. I do not know if they run a little small, in general. I wish the shoes fit me better. I am hesitant to order up a half size, because that never seems to work out for me. This might just be a brand that doesn't fit me well.

I bought my usual size 7.5 and size 8. I had to return 7.5 mainly because it is too narrow in the midfoot where the arch starts. These are very light and pretty. They are comfortable too but due to a slightly larger size than I need, I am afraid that they might become too loose after a while. They might not be the best for running as I planned but definitely good for different activities.
