I bought this as a replacement for the ACSIS Gel-Contend Walker 2 since apparently they don't make them anymore . I have major underpronation issue with my right foot and the ASICS Men's Gel-Contend 2 Walker did a GREAT job of addressing it and allowing me to walk 5-6 miles per day in comfort.
These (the GEL-Contend 9), however, do not provide anywhere near the support I need and I am having increased pain in my right ankle. I can't wear them anymore after a couple off weeks (I cut my distance in half in hope of relief) and am now trying to find a better alternative. Depsite what ASCIC says, these shoes are not that great for underpronation/supination.

Too soft for me. The side of the heel already gives too much just from the quick try on. shoe will wear out quickly. I only tried them on and did request a return but have not driven over on that side of the metro. I always have better luck when I go into the store and pick a shoe.

I love the Contend models and own a lot of the previous models (3-7). The 9 is a return to comfort that 8 was not (I did not find the 8s comfortable at all). The Contend 9s are as comfy, maybe comfier, as the 6 and 7s. I'm ready for my second pair already! Just have to decide on the color.

Very happy with this purchase. I keep coming back to Asics since because the shoes I've bought have been consistently good and comfortable. These shoes feel very light and provide the support my feet need. The extra wide size gives me a great fit.

Great support, comfort, look! I need another pair. ASICS are all I wear for shoes. My feet need a comfortable fit that supports my whole body. I would recommend trying these shoes for day to day wear, running, walking or any activity that is a part of your day. When I phase out older pairs of ASICS I replace them and wear the other shoes for yard work and gardening until they no longer offer support or fall apart

Great looking shoes, my feet have gotten wider as I have gotten older/bigger, shocker, I know. But these fit perfectly and looked exactly like what I wanted.

ASICS has been my go to brand for years. I like the removable inserts where I can use my custom insoles. Zappos makes it easy to find my 8.5 with a wide width. Comfortable fit right out of the box.

These shoes felt instantly comfortable on the first wearing. There was no "breaking in" required. The shoes conform to my feet and feel very light weight. My first wearing was on a long and active day and I didn't experience any ill affects from wearing new shoes.
