Great shoes with excellent support and yet they are still lightweight. I highly recommend ASICS.

These shoes did feel a little narrow, tight on the sides at first, but after wearing them a few times, it is not a problem. I am glad they come in black. I have run with these and have done casual walking. These shoes do well for both activities.

My son loves the look and feel of these sneakers. For a shoe to wear to school and around in a casual manner, you can’t beat the price!

I like these shoes so far. I use them for hiking and work. They do the job you want from a shoe.

Fits perfectly, just what the ad said the shoe would be. Very hard to get extra wide shoes in Hawaii. Delivery was fast.

Comfortable, great arch support. From experience with previous Contend 8's, they clean up nicely, very durable. Keep making them and I'll keep buying them!

I have used ASIS Gel for several years. Wear and comfort are excellent. Usually they are true to size, however, this pair, while comfortable, feel a bit tight
I'd also recommend:
New Balance

Love the shoe (I am never a Nike man, only Asics) but a little tight, perhaps I should have bought the 12 1/2 but my other pair of 12's fit perfectly. Only Asics, always.

Finally found my sneakers. I had midfoot fusion on right foot. Left is close to needing done. Been searching over a year. I tried all the brands Brooks, New Balance, Hoka, and on and on. Went through three other styles of Asics. I found out you don't need to spend a fortune the Contend 8 X-Wide was what I needed all along. I own four pairs just to switch it up and they feel great. I did add a Dr Scholls no sock insert on top of other inserts, just do to my feet difference's from surgery. Shoes are top notch in my book.
