Toooooo tight around the sides of my foot. I ordered my normal size 9, and wore them around the house for a bit to see if they would break in and feel better. Nope, I like the price, but not the fit so sending back.

I needed to wear these shoes with inserts and I couldn't even get them in so have no idea how they would feel on. Very disappointed.

I have tried 5 pairs of Asics in the last couple of months. The first 3 were ordered in my usual size and were all too small. This pair was ordered in WIDE, and it is still to tight and too short. Funny thing though, all my other shoes I have been wearing at the regular size and width still fit!. So there is a problem with Asics' sizing now. These shoes are attractive, but don't come in the new size or width.

i got these because they were supposed to help with plantars fasciitis (according to google). they don't. it feels like i'm being stabbed in the foot if i wear them for more than an hour. also they seem narrower than other shoes and aggravate the bone on the outer side of my foot.

I was very disappointed in this Asics Gel-Contend 7. No matter how much I opened the laces and spread the shoe apart I could not get my foot in. I always wear an 8.5 M in Asics. Don't know what happened with this model but it is so off size. Packed it up to return it within 30 minutes of receiving the package.

These shoes are a half size smaller than what you would normally get. Also, they are relatively narrow so if you have a wider forefoot, these shoes will probably squish your foot.

I have an older pair of Asics that look identical to these, that I was hoping to replace. I ordered the same size (7.5) - but these shoes are much more narrow, to the point of being uncomfortable on the outside of my toes (this was a normal, medium width shoe - same as the previous shoe). Immediately noticeable (I only had to try on one of the two shoes in the box!) and uncomfortable, had to return as they were too uncomfortable to walk in. I'm disappointed, since the old version worked well for me and confused about the narrowness of the front/toes of the shoe (I've never needed a "wide" shoe).

I’m usually a size 5.5 or 6. Ordered these in a 6 but I couldn’t even get my feet half way in them. I felt like I was putting on children’s shoes.

The Gel Contend 6 were my favorite running shoes ever! The 7's are waaay too tight at the arch and cut off my circulation.

Tried these on in a store. Ordered from Zappos- the right shoe felt smaller than the left one. They also felt cramped in the toe area (my toes were right up against the front of the shoe). Also, the shoe does not look attractive at all, too bulky. Returned promptly.

Right shoe fit was not good. It was much smaller then left. So I reordered and same problem. Before you think well her right foot is larger I have been wearing Asics for years & had ordered other styles that in that same order & all other Asics I ordered did not have this problem only this particular style. Not sure why. It's a cute shoe but did not work for me.

The shoe I ordered was a 9.5 ... My right foot is a touch larger, but I always fit in 9.5s. This shoe has SO much padding in the back behind the heel, that it pushed my foot further forward than normal - making my toes hit the end. Also, when this happened - the arch support fell in the wrong place, causing my foot to turn outward, making me walk on the outside edge of my foot (which in turn can cause pain in the ankle). It's also a touch wider (I have narrow, but large feet!) - so this would most likely cause slipping and blisters. The "style" is very nice / color combo ... I loved the black with light purple stripes, just very sad they didn't fit. Sadly, I had to return. It's a shame shoe companies keep adding in so much extra foam on the interior, ruining the actual shoe fitting properly (not the first shoe company to do so). Wish they would add foam to the base of the heel / striking areas - not within the shoe. Make the side walls lighter so the shoe can tighten around the foot (narrowing / able to tighten appropriately) so the shoe doesn't slip. Just my two-cents ... hope this helps!

I have been waiting for over a week for sneakers that you can’t exchange for a second time . you have to reorder and pay and send back a over sized sneaker ? next time Amazon , has faster delivery and fantastic customer service . sorry there’s a reason they are on top !

If I hadn’t already thrown away the box and worn these shoes on a couple of walks I would return them. After walking in them my feet, legs, hip and back hurt. I have never had a problem with ASICS before and have owned several pairs. I always used them for exercise class and taking walks.

I purchased 2 pair of Asics in my normal size 7.5w. The length was fine but they run extremely narrow and are not made for a high in step. I couldn't lace them more than the first few.
