Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend® 7

Before this purchase, ASICS was my go to for shoes. However, I have a pair of shoes that fit, but the heel plate is uncomfortable when the shoe is worn. It feels like ASICS skimped on the padding. Will not purchase ASICS shoes again.

I always buy ASICS and this was a cheap version. My usual 7.5 shoe was a half size too small and snug. I didn’t feel much arch support. Although a good looking shoe, I will be returning both pairs that I ordered.

like the style/look and lightweight, but they run a half size too small. exchanging for a bigger size.

The shoe fit perfectly for me. But after 2 wearings the back of the right shoe started hurting my heel, and when I got home my heel was bleeding. There is something hard at the back of the shoe that is projecting into my heel.....I unfortunately can't wear them. I'm hoping you will let me return them.

Sadly this shoe did not fit in any measure. I could not get my foot into the shoe. That is an issue I have never had with a shoe.

This shoe runs half size smaller than marked (10.0) and its back side felt stiff. I have been using Asics exclusively for the past approx. 15 years and have never had problems with size when ordered women's 10.0. I ordered my previous Asics with Zappos and they worked just great. I am disappointed with this purcharse.

I always buy ASICS and their sizing is reliable. However, these run very small.

I have problem feet and I think this it the first shoe I've ever worn that felt like it was made for the shape of my feet but I ordered a 12 D. These feel like an 11 B. Not for big feet... Unfortunately.

This is the size and style I always wear, but the overall shoe felt much smaller.

I should have listened to other reviewers-this shoe is very tight on my foot. I would go at least a half size up. Once you find the correct size, I think it will be a comfortable shoe. The inside felt thick and cushioned.

Wow, I normally wear a size 9, but in athletic shoes, I order half size up. These at half size up, 9.5, were still too short, big toes hitting the edge, AND way too narrow, squeezing my toes together. Too bad.

Disappointing. Love Asics. Been wearing this brand for many years. This style though was much smaller feel than others I have bought in the past. I always buy a full size bigger in sneakers. These felt narrower and not a size 8. Maybe the laces style? I tried loosening them but my feet felt tight when wearing them.

Sadly another pair of ASICS too small:( I have never worn anything bigger than a 6 1/2 but since the last pair was too small I went up to a seven and my toe is still hitting the end of the shoe. I also ordered wide and they do not feel wide. Very discouraging as I am desperate for a new pair of shoes and ASICS are the only ones that are comfortable, when they actually fit. Second pair I am returning. I will give it one more try.

I was looking for a light weight shoe to use for walking and decent styling. I’m a 9 1/2 and a medium width. Upon arrival I could barely fit my foot into the shoe. These shoes definitely run small especially in width. I decided to return and reorder the same size in a wide. The wide is better but what I would consider more of a standard width. I think I could also size up to a 10 for a better fit. I am wearing the 9 1/2 W around the house to see if they will loosen up or if they too will need returned.

Cute shoes. Run extremely small. For 15 years, I have always worn a 7 1/2 in ASICS. I had to order a full size larger. Shoes are not comfortable. I tried to break them in. I now have the beginning of shin splints and sore ankles. Worst pair of Acsics I have ever bought. I would NOT recommend these. I would return them if Zappos would allow it.

Bought these to replace a pair is Asics. I’m always a size 8 but these were way too small. Felt more like a size 7. Very disappointed and back to Zappos they went. Has Asics lost their quality control?

The shoes are a bit shorter than other Asics that I have worn, and Asics are the only sneaker I wear. The right shoe has fallen into the arch after only a few days causing pronation and some knee discomfort. I'd return them but I've worn them outside and since I've never had a problem with Asics before, I've recycled all the boxes.

I have purchased ASICS in 10.5 M for years. This is the first pair that felt like a man's size. The shoe was too long and the toe was too wide. Very odd.

Was hoping they would be like my last pair of Asics but sadly no arch support and not wide enough

I buy ASICS in size 10 all the time and these were no exception. They’re about half a size too small, and after trying to wear them to work a few days, I won’t be wearing them again.

These do not have a removable insole, which I specifically looked for in the Q&A. They also feel short as my toes are touching the end of the shoe even thought I ordered the usual half size larger (10.5). If the insole was removable, I would have tried the size 11, but without being able to put in my own arch support, there's no point.

The insoles are glued in so I cannot remove them for my orthotics. My toes touched the end of the shoe, which tells me these are shorter than average.

Shoe fits horribly! There is a ton of foam in the back. Fits one size smaller than normal. Bring back the Asics Gel Craze TR!
