Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend™ 2

These are comfortable shoes and they look pretty good. The colors are quite bold for me, but I love the colors, and they are growing on me. The best thing about these shoes for me personally is that they come in a very wide width (4E). I apparently have wide, duck feet, and unfortunately, this greatly limits the shoes that I can buy - whether sneakers, dress, or athletic shoes. So it is nice that one of the only 4E shoes available anywhere looks good and is reasonably priced. A potential concern is the arch support. I typically use Superfeet insoles (the green one), but on my first time wearing this out for an entire day with the stock insoles, it was comfortable all day long, and I had no pain. So it must have at least decent arch support. I will probably reinstall the Superfeet at some time. Overall, I like the shoes, and I would recommend them.

Fit great. I'm not a runner so I can't say how they are for running but I wear them for general use everyday and have been very happy with them. I will probably order another pair for when these wear out.

I love to order from Zappos because I get my order quickly and hassle free. If the shoes I order don't fit, I can return them for free, unlike many other sites. It is hard to fit my feet as I am a EE in width, but I can usually find a great shoe at a great price. I highly recommend Zappos!

These are great shoes. My foot size is 12 1/2 EEEE, and they fit and breath. I highly recommend to Dallas Cowboys fans, because they match the colors!

Excellent choice for anyone looking for a comfortable and supportive pair of running shoes, the gel makes all the difference. Excellent, durable, good looking design.

Using them one month now, very satisfied, perfect fit, great price. I always trim the arch out of the insole, improves comfort. I do not like arch support.

I've only had the sneakers for a few weeks, but so far, they're really comfortable. I only wear them out and about (not to exercise).

I've worn Brooks for some time now, but I am here to say that these are the best feeling shoes, I've ever owned. These shoes feel like I am walking on a cloud. I've had foot surgery on my left foot, and feel no pain at all in these. Thank you Zappos.

Feels great for an inexpensive shoe. I am a little heavy and at some times I can feel the horizontal lines across the ball of the foot. The shoes are holding up well after walking about 100 miles in them.

I absolutely love these shoes. They are very comfortable and feel true to size. I have been using them for walking and biking. They have been durable and even look close to new still. I'd definitely buy another pair once these wear out.

I am so glad that Zappos has wide shoes for the baby boomers who are now having bunions, crossed toes and wide feet! My husband has all of the above and I have purchased many shoes to try and get something he will wear. Also, we live in south Florida, so I needed something that he could wear in the boa, rinse out and hang up to dry. These shoes fit the bill completely! Not only am I happy, he said these shoes do not rub his toe raw, and he actually rinses them and hangs them in the sun to dry. We did get them a size larger, so in case they shrink a little, they will still work. He is happy. I am happy! Thanks, Zappos!

I needed a basic shoe for use with some home equipment. I searched local stores and Amazon, and decided to try these Asics. Very comfortable shoe, true to size, and excellent support for a bit of cross training. I'm tempted to buy a second pair to have on hand when I wear these out.

Great shoe and especially for the price. These fit as expected and are quite comfortable. And since I like the color blue they also look good as well.

I love these shoes! This is the 2nd pair I've bought. I rarely find a pair of new shoes that don't need any break-in period but these fit and feel great right out of the box.

Very happy with these! Light-weight, but seemingly well-constructed. As a size 15-W, I often have trouble finding shoes that fit. These are truly 15's and feel great.

I love these shoes. The fit is perfect and I can wear them all day without any problems or discomfort. Excellent shoes!

Great shoes. This is my second pair. I have had plantar fasciitis in my left heel for several months, and these are the most comfortable shoes I have found to minimize the discomfort on my heel.

I am on my second pair and for the price, these are great shoes. I run every day and wore these shoes in 7 5K-10K events! I also have wide, flat feet, and they fit with adequate breathing room.

I love the feel of these shoes. Not too much cushioning and I like out that way. Great bang for the buck.

Very good shoes at a good price. Timely delivery. Zappos delivers in more ways than one.

I have bought this model many times and the quality and performance is top rate. I am a fairly low mile per week runner and the shoe is perfect for me. If you run more you can always go for the upgrade. Nothing better than cruising in the Asics on a nice day.

Just bought these shoes and couldn't be more pleased with the product. Comfortable and a third the price of many other running shoes. Zappos free next day delivery is out of this world. Five stars.

Great fit as always. These plus an exact same pair for my husband and girl versions for my 2 daughters all really smelled after wearing all day on our vacation? My Gel Exalts didn't smell. But overall, great shoes for walking miles and miles on vacation!

I was looking for an affordable pair of workout shoes that wouldn't break the bank or hurt my feet after a few weeks. I had never owned a pair of Asics but read the reviews and gave them shot. I've been super impressed! They were light, incredibly comfortable and look great too. I'll be buying another pair or two, you can't go wrong with these shoes.

Easily the most comfortable tennis shoes I have ever purchased. Asics are the best. From the first time I wore them excellent look feel like a million and great to workout in. My feet are flat lots of support.
