The fit was fine. I just don't like the way the sole sticks out in the back

This is my 3rd or 4th pair. I am 7 1/2 slightly wide with a medium heel so I always get an 8 medium (B).

I was looking for a new sneakers as I walk 4 miles to and from work everday. So far, they feel great. I feel supported, my arches don't ache and my ankles feel secured.

These shoes never fail me and I continually replace a worn out pair with the exact same shoe in a different color. Great for everyday wear and as a cross trainer for athletics.

I know Asics is more of a running shoe brand than anything else, but I was looking for a new pair of everday/walking shoes since I do a lot of walking and this one was recommended to me. They have been great as walking shoes, even after a couple hours of walking my feet feel fine. I do have two (very minor) nitpicks, and both are just appearance related. I got the Indigo Fog/Monument Blue color, and the actual indigo color of the shoe leans more purple than in the listed picture. And as for color in general, I'd love to see some more variety. But I'd definitely consider getting these again once I inevitably wear my current pair out.

I have a slightly narrow, medium width foot. Size 10 has always fit in ASICS, but this shoe felt like it was made for a child. It was extremely shallow and although the size was correct I couldn’t fit my foot into the shoe without forcing

They fit a half size smaller. The back of the material runs up against the back of your ankle. However, the cushion feels great

We bought these shoes for my daughter for cross country because we had the same pair last year. She really likes the fit.

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.

I ordered my usual size in ASICS and the fit was very small. Not only was my big toe hard up against the toe of the shoe, but the shoe was very shallow in depth. My feet are on the slightly narrow side, so the fact that the shoe did not full embrace my foot was a shock! My foot was spilling out of this shoe. I never had that experience with ASCIS or any running shoe. IMHO the shoes are Defective and are being returned.

I usually wear a 9W and that is what I ordered. It is not wide enough. I liked the shoe and wish it had fit correctly.

The product arrived in a plastic bag in obviously used condition. I've purchased from Zappos for many years and never had this problem. I returned them without trying them on.

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!

I am a fan of ASICS shoes – love the fit and style. They are super comfortable, lightweight and a great buy. I buy my usual size and they always fit well right out of the box.
