Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend 9

Cute shoes, but my flat feet stayed just that, flat, they weren't comfortable, they hurt in the usual places. I don't think they had any arch support, which my feet need, but I'm not positive, plus the right shoe rubbed on the side of my foot in just one spot. Otherwise, they very nice shoes.

Asics gel contend 9 is great fit for my size 11.5 wide lady feet. The material has enough give and the toe box is deep enough for comfort on my bunion and hammertoe.

These fit a lot better than the Gel 1000. I do put an insert in for extra support. Need the heel cup and arch support. Have liked Asics for many years now. Hard to find White sneakers and Black without all the colors these days. Still searching for these. Settled with the Gray for now, do like the fuchsia accent color.

Ordered a 7 wide, but the fit is close to a standard width. The mauve is a very nice color and they seem well-ventilated. Love the price!

Toes were at the very end of the shoes with lightweight/thin socks, while sitting. Can't imagine if I had stood up in them. Also, absolutely no arch support. I have high arches and these would have needed inserts... and there wouldn't have been room.

I like Asics in general, and I recently tried on these shoes in a store, and they were a smidge small, but they were not "Wide". So I ordered Wide size on Zappos, and they don't seem to fit any differently than the non-wide shoes! Ultimately, the toe box is too narrow to be considered a useful part of the shoe- my toes are not shaped into an arrow, for Petes sake. I got Topo Athletics instead, those allow my toes to actually splay in a normal fashion.

I wear size 7 in shoes and most of my sneakers are 7.5, however, I had to get an 8 in these, which wouldn't have been a size I'd ever try. The 7.5 fit, but wasn't as comfortable as 8 for some reason. I previously bought the Asics excite, which I think is a more beautiful design, but ended up returning as they were squishing my toes. The contend has more room for the toes (I bought regular width). They seem comfortable so far, but I've only walked in them, have not exercised. I have high arches and the support seems fine for me. The dessert rose color is very pretty.

Extremely comfortable shoe. A little clunky - but great for lots of walking.

I ordered 1/2 size up and wide. The shoes fit and are comfortable. I wear them as a casual walker, not as a runner.. Previously paid $140 for Mizzuno running shoes.. these are just as comfortable for casual wear.

They fit great. Good toe space, very comfortable sneaker.

Not wide at all. My feet could not even go in.

I normally wear a 10 Narrow but these only came in medium. From past purchases of Asics I know they run on the small side so I ordered a 10 1/2 medium and put an insole in them and the fit perfectly.

This pair of Asics Gel Contend-9 are SO light & instantly felt like a perfect fit! They're grey with a little cranberry stripe so would go with casual or going-out-to-dinner outfits! Usually I love a sneaker but one foot might hit my beginner bunion or rub the toe on the other foot! Not these!! A M width was fine--soft fabric & yet feels structured & supportive on the inside (I've had plantar fascitis and need good heel support.). I'll wear these walkkng the dog, shopping or anyplace but the garden--shoes get wrecked pdq there!

These look great and are comfortable for running.

Perfect for working on my feet all day... ordering another pair!

I ordered 8.5 wide, perfect fit, toe box is wide enough that my toes are comfortable. Shoes are light, good walking shoes.

They are a true 12M. I love the support for my old feet. The color of purple is so awesome. I'm a purple lady!!

I'm very satified with the shoes and the service.
