ASICSWomen's Gel-Contend 7 Running Shoes

I absolutely love Asics shoes and have worn them for many years. I wore them mainly while playing sports but they are also wonderful for working in a restaurant! I used the same pair for 3-4 years and they lasted through volleyball, exercising, working outside, and working in a kitchen.I recently purchased a new pair when my old ones finally wore out and the cushioning is amazing. I can work 8 hours, constantly on my feet and come home without pain. These are extremely high quality shoes and the price is unmatched! If you want a good pair of sneakers that won't break the bank, this is the pair. I have used my new pair for around 2 months and they are just as comfy as the day I received them. These asics are beautiful shoes and highly recommended!

I am on my 4th pair of the Asics gel-contend 7 running shoe. I have a high arch and speed walk about 30-35 miles/week. For over a decade I wore Brooks Ghost shoes and with a change around Ghost 13 I could no longer wear them without getting heel blisters. It forced me to find this shoe which is a lot less expensive:) I do wish the bottom didn't wear out as fast. I have to replace about every 6 months, however, I noticed that with the more recent Brooks shoes also. Although with the recent pairs, my tween girls have still worn my retired shoes since they don't need the same support and besides the bottoms they still look great. In October 23 I purchased the gel-contend 8. I returned them and got the gel-contend 7 because I didn't feel like it had as much arch support and the heel height seemed shorter. The 8 was not as comfortable as the 7. I also have bunions that make my foot a little wider, but not wide enough for a wide version of shoes and I think these fit well (so maybe not the best shoe for someone with narrow feet). I usually wear a size 8 and from the reviews I ordered and 8.5 and it fit perfectly.

I read reviews (about running small), I ordered a 10M which is what I normally order for sports shoes and boots. I have orthotics because I have very flat feet and pronation. But with the orthotics in, I was worried they'd be too tight. I removed the pad insole and placed the orthotics in the shoes. They are a little snug, but still, toe room is fine. I like that the shoe is more structured, not soft...I need a sturdy shoe to keep my ankle from rolling inward. They're really cute, don't make my feet look huge like flippers! Wearing for first time today, so I'll maybe update my rating after a few days...

I bought these sneakers on line, because I was unable to find any in local stores that fit me at a price I was willing to pay. I have worn Asiscs before, so I took a chance. They are a little more narrow than I was hoping for, but after a few wears they were more comfortable. They are now my everyday walking sneaker. I am very pleased with the quality. They are light weight. Arch support is what I look for in a sneaker, these fit my needs well. You can count on the soles not to slip on wet surfaces. There is only one other brand that has the arch where I need it, Nike. They have gotten much more expensive, more than I am willing to pay though. This sneaker is a great alternative.

These shoes are very comfortable. Give me a lot of support and look very nice.

They are super cute, but run extremely small. I’m typically a 7.5 or 8, so I went with the 8 and my toes are squished and trying to bust through. Ouch. I have never had to size up to an 8.5 in any shoe. Seem like they would be comfortable otherwise.

I have a hard time finding shoes that are wide enough for me. These are amazing every summer. I’m gonna buy these shoes. I’ve thought about actually buying about 10 pairs of them all at once and just keeping them up in my closet when one wears out I get another pair. I’ve been wearing these for a year and they’re not worn out at all and I wear them every day, very well made and so comfortable

I love these runners. They do not slip on the treadmill. So comfortable. I ordered 2 pairs. 1 from Amazon which I kept, and a size smaller fron northern shipping. But the o e from northern shipment had to go back as they were tight. Should have ordered 2 from Amazon. Amazon stuff is way better than northern shipping

Comfortable. Sized correctly. Delivered quickly. I'm happy.

Cómodos, lindos, talla exacta, excelente calidad. Asic no decepciona nunca!
