Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend® 7

I normally wear a 9, but got these in 9.5 and I get numbness in my toes if I wear them. So odd. Wish I could return them. :(

I've been wearing these Asics sneakers for a few years and enjoyed the convenience of ordering a new pair when needed. But the last two pairs both feel 1/2 size smaller. It would be nice if manufacturers let you know when they change the fit or sizing of their shoes. Oh, well. I need to find a new brand of sneakers now.

I have a pair of these and all my Asics have always been 10 mediums but these are tight and too narrow.

They are too tight! My toes are pushing out of the top.

The thick collar on these shoes rubbed the skin off my left Achilles tendon. I hoped this would lessen with time but nope. Can’t return them since I wore them outside. I purchased another brand of shoes elsewhere.

Marked as a 10 wide but I couldn't even get my foot into it!

Not bad on comfort but I wear a size 9 and these felt between 8-8.5.

Fits to small

I have 2 pairs of Asics in my size, 9 1/2, that fit perfectly. I like them because the run narrow and my feet are very narrow. I ordered these in size 9 1/2 and had to return them because they were too short. I ordered a size 10 and I can't believe it, they are exactly the same as the 9 1/2 that were too small. Must be defective. I am so disappointed as I wanted them for a trip I am going on tomorrow.

I have been wearing Asics for years and I am so disappointed by the drop in quality and comfort. As far as sizing, I ordered a full size up like I always do but they are still way too small. Also, the toe box is MUCH narrower than in the past. I actually held my old pair against this new pair and could clearly see that they have cheated at least 1/4 inch from the width in the toe area. Also, the fabric of the shoe feels like my big toe could wear a hole in it without much effort, which is the first time I've ever encountered that lack of quality. Will be returning these immediately. SUCH A SHAME!

These were shorter than any ASICS I have. Would need to size up 1/2 size. Very disappointing.

These would be perfect if the material at the heel hadn't been cut short, making an otherwise comfortable shoe uncomfortable.

I liked the color, but this style was too tight across top of my foot. Had to return.

The shoes were significantly smaller than expected. I have several pair of ASICS in this size which fit. This pair was way too small.

Even though it says it is a wide width, it was narrow for my foot.

These fit way too short. I've been wearing an 8.5 Wide forever & these were definitely too short & they were a 9! I think the manufacturers are making things too small in an effort to save $$.

The overall look of the shoe is ok, however the comfort is totally not there! The heels slip no matter if it's a light sock, heavy sock worn, two socks, etc. At the end of a 3 mile walk my heels really hurt, red, but luckily no blisters. Heel material and shape feels extremely stiff! I would definitely NOT recommend this shoe and I have worn Asics for many years.

Ordered a size 71/2 W as shoes recently seem to be running small. Normal size is a 7W. Though I barely was able to fit my foot into the shoe, it was cramped and I was unable to wear comfortably. Also width was not a true wide. Shoes are definitely on the narrow side. Returned immediately.

I have been buying ASICS shoes for over 20 years. In the last year or so, I am really disappointed about the quality of every pair, including this style, I have tried, regardless of price. The insoles are thin and glued in. It is impossible to find the "Fluid-fit" style that were so great. The material is cheaper, the laces thinner and none of the shoes are formed the way they used to be. QUALITY of ASICS running shoes now suck!

I always wear a size 8 women's tennis shoes and these felt like a 6.5 or 7. They also didn't run like wide width normally does but like size B. Cute style, but size and width being off surprised me.

Caused discomfort when wearing them

Size 8 wide was really tight!
