Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend® 7

There is no arch support

The color on these shoes is great. They look nice and cushioning on soles is springy. For me, they were too small and too narrow, though, and even when I exchanged for a half size up, they really are still tighter than I wish they were.

Asics for the most part is the only brand I buy and this pair is not the standard 10.5 I always buy. By the time I realized why my toes had been bothering me I had worn them quite a while. :(

I normally wear a 9, but decided to order a half size up. They are too small in the toe area. For this reason, I am returning them. They are really cute!

Like them but definitely smaller than my last ones.

great sneaker

I've bought these shoes before and they're comfortable. After a year or so they start to wear down...especially the mesh top got holes in it. Overall, a good shoe since I'll be running into the ground anyway.

Very comfortable everyday shoes. Like most tennis shoes go half or a full size lager.

I measured my foot as described- 7. Shoe was way to small. But it was a nice show otherwise

They are very comfortable and I love the way they feel. I need a wide width and was very happy to find these in a color and style that I like. Asics are my new go-to brand for comfortable sneakers.

I felt they were a little smaller than my other size 8's but not enough to size up.

I love this ASIC tennis shoe. Fit right to my size, my width and a very confortable shoe for walking. I will take them for a trip I’ll take.

Felt a little tight around the heel . I returned them and will reorder a half size bigger and try the wide instead.

For some reason these ASICS do not fit in my normal size 7, all my other ASICS fit perfectly. I had to order a 7 1/2 and probably could have done an 8. I would have liked a wide width, but they didn't have them in my size. These are super narrow and I had to buy a longer pair of laces just so I could tie them. I can see my socks between the tongue and the lace holes(have dark socks in this picture), but I am hoping they will stretch some in time. Even though the size is way off, they are still comfortable so I kept them, they are for work.

I usually wear a 7 in Asics, and ordered my first pair in size 7. I had to return them as they were too small. I ordered a 7.5, and just tried them on, and am returning them as well. Again, too small. My toe is near the top. I will now order a size 8.

I have inserts I have to put in my shoes and they felt great right away.

Great looking shoe and very comfortable

This sneaker runs way small. I've owned many Asics sneakers and this is the only one that I've had to return twice because it is too small. I wear a 8.5 B width in a sneaker and I had to order the 9.5.

Glad I read reviews and sized up half size. Normally wear 9M in ASICS and these were definitely snug. Very comfortable and great arch support for high arches.

Very supportive shoe that I got for work, 10 hour shifts in a hospital, and I wore them for a few months. They provided the support that I needed for plantar fasciitis, but big toe pain from hallux limitus continued. Still, a good solid shoe. I will switch these over to casual wear, light hiking or walking, rather than the 10 hour work days. I'm trying Allegria professional for work now.

So. I had two pairs of Gel-Contend already; Contend 4 and Contend 6. Both pair are size 10 medium and were a delight to wear, cushioned and supportive. The Contend 7s that I received in a 10 were way small. I couldn't begin to get my feet in them. Mismarked? No idea. I exchanged for size 11s and they fit. Today I am wearing the 6s in size 10, and they fit. I think the newest pair is also less cushioned/comforable, but they are ok. Not great, just ok. Next pair I will branch out, sadly. I really liked the old ones.

At first I thought I would need a size up because they were tighter than some of my other Asics, but the size up was too big, so I went back to my true size...an 8 1/2.

Shoes were for my daughter going back to school. I ordered the correct size but they seem to run half-size small. But Zappos customer service was great in helping me with quick return/exchange and sent me new pair and arrived days before the first day of school ? ??. Thank you!
