Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend® 8

I use to be a new balance girl but recently have been loving the colors and comfort of ASICS. Thanks!

My Fav! Contend is probably my favorite style of Asics. Super comfy

I recently started to pick up running after several years away from it. I had a great pair of Asics previously and they have always been my go-to running shoe. Being able to utilize the pronation guide gave me a lot of comfort that I was getting the best shoes for my feet, and helped give me the confidence to start running again. It's been a month and I'm feeling great! Still working on my endurance but the comfort of these shoes makes such a big difference.

I'm not happy with these shoes for the purpose I bought them. I bought them to replace my older asics walking shoes. I wore these new ones 3 times on walks of 2-3 miles each and I got blisters each time. One blisters on my second to pinky toe and a blisters on each of the balls of my feet. And since I've work them outside, I can't return them. Unhappy.

Just arrived. Exactly as expected. Hope the pictures help. I don't have any foot issues so these will do with the gym and light jogging. I like the stability around the ankle. However, I do feel like support is lacking in the mid sole region. I am okay with that but it might not be great for someone with flat feet or other feet issues that require high stability. The heel feels great. It's quite narrow. I have sorta slim feet so it grips them well from the sides. Size ordered- 11 normal women's. I weigh around 164 lbs, 5'7 height.

These have been my preferred style for years, so I can confidently order new. They last much longer than other brands, for me - soles, insoles, and uppers - so replacement time is long enough that Ill have a slight panic theyll have stopped making this style, lol. I order both regular and wide widths as neither is too extreme and sometimes I want the extra comfort of a wider shoe if Ill be out all day walking distances. I used to run in these and thats when I fell in love with them. Now I just wear them for everything.

I love these! They are available in a lot of different colors, so I love them so much, I am probably going to order them again in another color! They are so light weight, they feel like you aren't wearing shoes. I think they are as light as a feather!

I love my asics, only sneakers I'll buy. They're so comfy!

I like my ASICS, just disappointed that I couldnt cancel my order after JUST three hours after have placed it. I found the same shoe $10 cheaper at another website. ASICS wouldnt price match and was going to charge me a restocking fee if I returned them.

The shoe was beautiful! Great color and the gold in the shoe was nice. But the fit was weird. Tight along the laces and wouldnt loosen, even with adjusting the tightness of the laces. I had to return.

They fit and theyre super comfortable, I always like to use assics!

Disappointed in support Ive slwsys gottdn Asics in the past and found them to be supportive and well fitting. These seem not have any bottom foot support and are wider than medium in my opinion I saw thrm in a store and ordered on line because store didnt have my size. I love the purple colors on the shoe but need to add arch and metatarssl support

It took nearly 3 weeks to get my order. It was lost the first time by the shipping company, Pandion. I called Asics to get it resent and I was told they would process my request as "a one time courtesy". What the heck? It's not my fault the shipping company lost the package. I won't do business with Asics again. The shoes themselves are fine.

My wife loves them. She wears them to work almost every day.

These have been very comfortable to walk-in. I have not tested them for running.

These sneakers are exactly what I was looking for to replace a pair of Gel-Contend 3 that I wore out. I have very small feet so I usually have to order shoes online and these fit perfectly. Love them!

I love my new shoes! They are perfect for my feet! They are comfortable. They don't sink in heel and don't put extra strain on my feet. I wish I would have found them sooner!

Nice shoe but miss the Gel Contend 7. Felt like a completely different shoe. I accidentally ordered the wrong size, but another plus of Asics is half sizes over 10! Who else offers a womens 10.5 with choices of colors?

They were a little tight trying to put them on and I've never had that problem before but overall they're OK
