Perfect amount of cushion and arch support. I can always count on Asics for a consistent feel from shoe to shoe - as well as consistent sizing. I have purchased Asics exclusively for the last ten years and have never been disappointed with any of their products.

The fit is excellent, true to size. They are wide width, roomy toe box. Very comfortable. I work in a busy urgent care clinic and these are perfect work shoes, comfortable from start to finish.

I have always been an Asics fan. Shoes are always lightweight, which is one of my more important considerations, Great style and the perfect color blue.

Fits well and seems well made. Was looking for a less expensive alternative to the brooks ghost. So far so good

My feet are very wide at the front, narrow at the back, and require an orthotic for plantar fasciitis. Finding shoes that fit is a real struggle, and I send back 90% of them. This is my first pair of Asics; previously I had good luck with New Balance but the last few pairs haven't worked for me. These are perfect, and my feet don't hurt after I wear them. I ordered two more pairs right away!

I wanted a pair of GT- 1000s with a little more padding but could not find any in size 10 Extra Wide. So I ordered the first Asics in stock in my size and up came the GEL-CONTEND 8. THEY HAVE TURNED OUT TO be a comfortable shoe for walking the streets in our neighborhood. My wife thinks the Midnight Blue pairs well with Levi's. And the Extra Wide width prevents a Tailor's Bunion on outside of foot caused by too narrow of a shoe width from becoming painful. I have been walking comfortably in my neighborhood and taking longer hikes in the mountains of the Baja Penninsula in Asics shoes for more than 50 years.

These have been my go-to walking shoes since they arrived. I'm a big guy (6'4", 255) and these have held up well. I try to walk a few miles every day and these have been very comfortable.

They are the latest version of the same model I purchased a couple years before. This version is lighter but just as comfortable. I like the wider toe box even though it's a not "wide width". I will keep coming back.

They are comfortable and provide solid underfoot stability. The only caveat is I had to order a full size up. In the swooosh shoes or sketchys I wear a 10.5 wide, in Asics i wear a 11.5 super wide.

These were recommended by my doctor to solve my foot issues. I love them. By far the most comfy shoes I've worn in a long time. I hope they never change them.
