Product Description

This all new version of the popular GEL-Contend™ shoe is designed to provide ASICS hallmark performance through exceptional cushioning and great fit, ideal for entry-level or low mileage runners.

In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

Great running shoes, but a little snug... until I found a remedy
As soon are I received these running shoes I knew I would love them. They are really well made and the colors are fab. But, when I tried them on they were a little snug. They weren't snug enough to order the next half-size up, but definitely not entirely comfortable. I also didn't want to order up because I didn't want them longer. The pretty laces that come with the sneakers aren't long enough to give much added width. So, I swapped the laces out for elastic lock laces. (see photo) That helped a lot. Then I swapped out the insole with a slightly lower profile, but still very comfy and supportive, insole that I had from another pair of sneakers. Voila! Now they fit like a dream. They look and feel great. And I love the air venting so my feet stay cool and breezy. I wear these to hike around and also with jeans when I'm running errands. Versatile, cute and, with a little adjustment, very very comfy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful - (read reviews, they run narrow)
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2016
Verified Purchase
Unless ur foot is extremely narrow, I highly recommend ordering wide. I have a narrow/average foot, but after reading Amazon reviews & looking at photos posted, I took a leap of faith & ordered wide. I'm certain I made the right choice. As for size, I wear a 9 1/2 in sandles/shoes, but I wear size 10 in tennis shoes. I ordered a size 10W & they fit perfect. I have arch issues - Heel Spurs & even started feeling like I had fractured a bone or something on the outer side of my foot - & had to stop wearing regular shoes because of the pain in my feet (the pain was waking me up at night - it was terrible). I was limping pretty hard by the time these arrived. Over the last week I haven't taken 1 step without these shoes except in the shower (something I learned from a foot doctor 20 years ago). The support is wonderful & in 1 week my feet feel completely different. Also, my feet tend to get hot in enclosed shoes, these shoes have a sock lining or something so I'm not wearing socks & it turns out the front material will vent air into my toes & upper foot area - very nice & they are extremely comfortable without socks. These are not cushy cushy shoes, they aren't hard, but they are meant to support you foot & hold that support if you're an athlete (which I'm not). Still, they are high quality & I love them.

I'm a nurse and work long hours on my feet. I've lost my arches and it's difficult to find shoes for my feet after 21 years of nursing. I wear size 10 -10.5 . Nikes run small and I have to get an 11 so I shy away from Nikes. The reviews on this pair of shoes had the most consistent true to size comments. I have never had a pair of these shoes nor have I eber ordeed shoes in liNE before. I did order a 10.5 just to be cautious and they fit like a charm! Comfortable on my first 14 hour shift! The backs are a bit higher than I'm used to and did rub the back of my heel on one ankle but nothing terrible. I do have to wear my arch supports but to be fair I have to wear them in every pair of work shoes. I get them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and they slide over my foot and are padded underneath the arch. They are heaven. The soles don't have much cushion but it didn't bother me at all. It usually takes me multiple shoes to try on in the store to find something my feet can tolerate. These shoes are fantastic! I recommend them highly! I'm going to buy another pair to store away for when I need another pair! Reasonable price as well. And the Prime free returns was why I even tried this new adventure. And I don't have to use it! Win:win!!!! Go for it!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2016

My podiatrist recommended I get a pair of Asics after I presented with chronic heel pain caused by Plantar Fasciitis, and now they're all I will wear. I'd been dealing with the pain for a few years and had undergone several ECSWT sessions without any positive result. Finally, when I could almost not walk at all, he gave me cortisone injections in both heels and recommended I stop on my way home from his office and invest in a pair of Asics and wear them exclusively. Our next option would be surgery. Well, I did buy some Asics (in my opinion, all Asics run a little small...I have always worn a 7 1/2 - 8, but in Asics I had to step up to a 9) and immediately when I arrived home, I laced those bad boys up and put them on. I wore them around the house for a few days, immediately felt relief from the chronic pain, and ordered a second pair for when I have to go out of the house. After a week if wearing Asics Gel shoes, I returned to the doctor's office. He had been expecting we'd be discussing scheduling surgeries, but I was walking normally and pain-free for the first time in over a year and when they did the ultrasound it confirmed that there was very little if any inflammation in either foot at this point. Asics has earned my business for all sports shoes I buy in the future. When I know I'm going to be on my feet for long periods, I double-down and use the Powerstep Protech Control full length orthotic inserts inside the shoes (once you've had that kind of chronic pain, you don't take any chances). I've gone from not being able to walk at all without excruciating pain to walking a mile at a time without any pain at all...IN THREE WEEKS! Now, Asics are not cheap, but I keep my eye on them on Amazon and once I had my first pair, I have been successful in ordering four more pairs through Amazon at reduced prices and the fit has been the same with each pair. I have a wide foot and order the D width (which significantly limits style/color choices) and the fit has been reliable each time. I love my Asics and I love my Amazon! Btw, I also buy the above referenced orthotic inserts from Amazon at less than half the price my podiatrist charges for the same product. Win-win!

I love them! I would possibly reconsider the mesh for my next pair, but you should be avoiding puddles anyway. Still 5 Star, they are super cute as well.

These runners met my expectations and then some... they are so comfortable and fits perfectly - I usually purchase a size 9 because I like the extra room for thicker socks - I purchased an 8.5 and they fit my feet like a glove with gym socks - they are not loose at the toe - very snug without being too tight - the material breathes, you can feel the air on your toes - I bought them to help alleviate the noise on my treadmill and to walk an hour home from work about three times a week - they are very lightweight - like walking on air... Best purchase I've made in runners in a very long time...

The Shoes are asics so of course they are great! They seem very comfy. I bought a half size larger than my usual as I just had my foot measured at the podiatrist and I am actually a size 9.5 c/d not 9.b The delivery was slower than I'd hoped for. But all in all very satisfied.
