Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend® 7

I have ordered several Asics sneakers in the last couple years, same size / width, with no issues. If this is a 9.5 w, then the size / width has been totally redefined.

The fit and size are ok I don’t know why this sneaker make me a blister on the side of my heel. This is my second pair and occurred the same situation.

They may be marked WIDE but these shoes are not wides let alone 8.5s. Very disappointed.

The reviews said it fit true to size, but if you have a wide with order 1/2 size bigger. I don't have a wide foot. All my shoes are a size 9 and this one you could not even get your foot into the shoe. Runs Really SMALL. like the color.

I'm a 7.5W so I bought a 8.5W as recommended. I bought my first pair (in black) months ago and loved them... so I bought two more colors recently. The new ones are not even remotely the same size. I would said they fit like a regular 7.5, not even a little bit wide. I wore them for a full shift at work and I was in agony by the time I went home. I'm so mad at myself for throwing the boxes away and detagging them right away (they were the same size! they looked the same size! I thought it was fine!) because now I can't return them and am out ~$100 (since I do need shoes for work, I will have to buy new ones).

Returned. Very uncomfortable on me

Wore the ASICS 5 times since purchase. Today I noted that the stitching on the side of the shoe was open and giving less support and ugliness to the look of the shoe. Since i needed them and had no time to return them, I brought them to a shoemaker to stitch up the side (part attached to the design)

This was my 3rd pair and previously I loved this shoe. I purchased this for daily walking 30-60 minutes/day. This pair were short in the toe box and were uncomfortable from the on-set. Very Disappointing!!

I should have listened to the other bad reviews of these shoes. The toe box is weirdly small? I've always been a size 6 but you should definitely think about sizing up with these shoes. They're awfully tight, narrow and much smaller than advertised. Also, the arch support is super weird. They make you feel like you're about to tip over constantly.

I ordered my size 5 Wide and these shoes are not wide. They squeezed the sides of my feet and my big toes were jamming the front of the shoe. They are smaller than 5 for sure. I will be returning them. Very disappointing as this is not typical of Zappos.

Asics has a tendency to run small; but this one is like 2 sizes too small.

These shoes fit weird they run small. They fit like a wide (which I ordered) until you get to the toes and then they pinch. I actually wear a size 9 to 9.5 in regular shoes. I first ordered a 10 as these are for working out they were small I sent them back and ordered an11, side note I have never ordered an 11 in my life these too did not fit. Crazy I sent these back too. I’m going back to the Under Armour brand as soon as my size is back in stock.

I ordered a size 9, that is a size up from my original purchase of an 8.5 that I returned. The 9 fit the same as the 8.5 too short, also returned. I will need to find another style. I always wear an 8.5 in Asics.

way too small and tight

I had a pair of Asics in 7.5 and they were a little tight so i ordered an 8 this time. Hardly a noticeable difference in size and when laced up i felt like my foot was being relentless squashed down. From what others have said it seems like the manufacturers are calibrarted their machines wrong and you can no longer really trust the size. The lack of arch support was a deal breaker though. Will cross all Aisics off my list for a while.

I'm disappointed in my fifth-ever pair of Asics. I tried this model for the first time and regret it. The shoe offers very little support in any respect, and the ball of my foot and heel ache when I get home from even a 30-minute exercise walk. I've tried them twice, so I can't return them (simply wearing them around my house doesn't give me an accurate idea of how they'll perform outdoors). Ugh--moving on to a different brand, even though I used to love Asics.
