Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend® 7

I wear an 8 in regular shoes 8 1/2 in tennis shoes giving room for athletic sox. Shoes were way too tight. Normally and 81/2 with sox is a perfect fit. Unfortunate as I really like styling, color etc.

I had been very happy with prior pairs of Gel Venture 7 (all size 10 wide), but no longer in stock. These Gel Contend in a size 10 W seemed a good next attempt, but they were not as wide. Interesting, it was not at the ball of the foot but closer to the instep that I felt that my foot was hanging over the sole and would quickly be a problem. So return they go (thanks to zappos easy return at least) and I'll try something else. The design and colors were fine.

Freakishly undersized. My daughter has had several pairs of Asics'. She normally wears a 6. We couldn't even get the 6 from this style on her feet? We tried a 7, still too small. We're waiting on a size 8 now. If you look at the US sizing on these shoes and her other Asics, they don't correspond with the Euro sizing, it's weird. IDK what's up with the sizing, but the quality seems good, and the colors are cute.

Felt smaller Than most brands

The sneakers were cute enough but the left foot was too short. The right sneaker fit okay. Sent them back.

Cute but too snug. I used to wear ASICS all the time, then switched to New Balance.

The sneakers were too small although they were the same size of my exact current sneakers. Not comfortable at all to walk - too short in length.

inconsistent sizing - my last pair was the same shoe, same size, fit perfectly - this pair is too small.

Nice looking sneaker, good cushion support. I wear wide but it took a few weeks for them to stretch out and feel comfortable. I’ve had these for 8 months and I see a hole forming on the top right shoe.

Super cute color combo but the width and length were smaller than expected...I have a wide foot but a narrow heel. Unfortunately I didn't feel a half or whole size up would have helped.

A little small compared to my other Aspics.

The toe box on ASICS athletic shoes has gotten smaller over the years. This shoe follows that trend. If you don't NEED a wider toe box, they may be fine for you. They are painful and uncomfortable for me. It's too bad because I think the shoe is insanely gorgeous.

The wide is not wide enough!

Size 8.5 M. Has high arches. She couldn't get the shoe to feel less tight across the top of the foot. Heel fit well. Style is fine.

Unfortunately they were much too small. Have not had this problem previously with ASICS so this was disappointing.

These felt narrower than what I ordered. There is very little arch support.

Just not enough cushion so I returned and purchased nimbus

loved the color but ordered a 1/2 size up but when tried on they are a bit narrow in the footbed

The fit is a little snug. I like the style and material.

I purchased in 9wide. Cute shoe.. the width is way off. This is not a wind by any means.. wore it around the house and had to take it off in 1 hours time.. very uncomfortable.
