Bought the bright pink shoes. They are great for stabilizing my pronation. Harder sole great for jogging/light running.

Great fit in my size! Nice looking shoe that seems to be well made. Lots of cushion. I will be using these for walking, and the tread pattern is great and looks like it will last well compared to the Cloud Comfort Adidas I wore out recently.
I tend to wear out the tread quickly compared to the tops due to talking some miles a day.

I bought these because I wanted a pair of walking shoes and didn't want to wear out my running shoes. Even though I bought a half size larger (as I always do with sneakers), my big toes pretty much touch the inside front of the shoes. During my first wear, the inside of one of the shoes rubbed against my Achilles tendon and caused a blister so I have to wear ankle socks with them (I prefer no-show socks). They aren't very cushiony but I expected that since they were on the lower end of the price range for Asics shoes. For being a pair of walking shoes, they will do the job.

I mistakenly ordered the wrong size sneaker in an ASICS store. I was not refunded the shipping fee. I asked the store manager and she in turn contacted the Audit Department, they also basically said too bad thats our policy. Not only did I reorder again I am a devoted customer who has been buying their brand for many years. Apparently that means nothing to this company. I call it greed, they couldve bent the rules. I dont think theyd miss $10

As always, great sneakers from ASICS! Very comfortable and great walking/running shoe. I buy all of my shoes from ASICS. Will not shop any other brand.

I was nervous at first about changing from my Brooks but these are great! I wish they had hot pink or lime green in my size.

Poor SupportGreat Support
I typically wear an 8-1/2 wide and found these to be accurate in size. The toe box is about average, my toes do not feel cramped. I found the support around ankles and heel area to be very good. The arch support moderate. The padding sufficient however if wearing a long time I might consider a pillow insert. The shoe is rugged and the best feature seems to be the counter heel support. I have narrow heels, so this is a plus. The reason why I don’t give it five overall is it has a harder ride, meaning there isn’t much gel, pillow softness for long walks. The price is reasonable and shoe adequate for my needs for getting back to the gym.

These are the first Asics to cut up my heel. They were also small in length. I have been wearing this brand for over 10 years. Never had a shoe fit so poorly. Wore twice and never again!

These ASICS Gel-Contend 8 are some of the most comfortable shoes I've found since I developed Plantar Fasciitis. I'll definitely be buying more!

i love the Gel Contend shoe, the 8 is a little narrow in the toe box and is a bit tight and painful, i think this version is just slightly more narrow.

I never received them as the delivery person left the box on the very front of my porch, and they were stolen before I could even see them. :(

I tried this as a test after wearing nothing but Gel Cumulus. They are not as wide or as comfortable.

I bought this right before a two-week trip to Europe with an average of 20,000 steps per day, upstairs and downstairs, and I was the only one in my group whose feet didnt hurt. I got the tan/white ones in my usual size, 6.5 and they fit great!

These are my 3rd pair of Gel Contend 8. Love the fit. They are just perfect for my feet. I am a walker and log many miles in these. They hold up very well.
