Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Contend 9

What I like about these shoes is that they have room in the forefoot for your toes to spread out. That makes for comfort for me which has been hard to find. The support is great and they feel good on my feet.

I liked the look of these sneakers. However, due to me having high insteps, I had to loosen the ties a lot to get my feet in the shoes. The shoes felt really comfortable once on. Unfortunately, because I had to loosen the shoeties, there was not much left to tie the shoes comfortably and they felt somewhat smaller because the top of my foot was tight. Sadly they had to go back. The shoe entry was a bit shallow for me but if you don't have the high instep issue, I'd say go for it, the shoes are really cushioned and they look nice on.

I ordered size 8 since my old pair of Asics Gel Excite 9 are very comfortable in size 8. These new ones are too tight, even after wearing them around in the house for a morning with thin socks. I love my old shoes, so I'm disappointed. My small toe did poke a hole in the right shoe as a result of my bunion, but otherwise, they have been great. I will return these and try another style.
