Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Contend 9

I run with my dogs and have been wearing a Brooks Glycerin and needed to replace then, but thought, oh, they cost so much, why not get some basic Asics. Big mistake. I miss the stability and the cushioning and really wish I had bought the Brooks at the same time as I would have sent these back, these are probably fine for walking, but really want a more substantial running shoe. The pricier Asics have worked too in the past. Good running shoes seem to cost more.

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 really like the shoe. But after trying it on and walking around a bit, the shoe felt short. My big toe and second toe, left and right foot, were touching the inside toe end, making it pretty uncomfortable. For myself, I prefer a better insole.

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

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.

I already did

did not fit

I use these shoes for high intensity workouts and they’re great! I’m buying another pair for outdoor running/walking too.

Great shoe for all around activity

Generous toe box

This were a very hard shoe with regard to support.
