ASICS Men's Gel-Contend 7 Piedmont Grey/Asics Blue Running Shoe 11.5 XW US

Replacing much loved ASICS running shoes. The new ones are great. Very comfortable, fit as advertised and are significantly cheaper than my trusty old ones.

I recently purchased a pair of ASICS shoes, and I have mixed feelings about them. On the positive side, these shoes offer an incredibly comfortable fit and cushioning, which is perfect for long walks and light jogging. The softness and support in the sole make every step feel like walking on clouds.However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind before buying these shoes. First, if you need significant arch support, you might find these lacking in that department. I have fallen arches, and I had to insert additional insoles to get the support I needed. So, if arch support is essential for you, be prepared to make that adjustment.Secondly, the sizing was a bit tricky for me. I usually wear a size 12-12.5, but with these ASICS shoes, I had to size up to a 13 to get the right fit. It's crucial to follow the manufacturer's sizing guide and, if possible, measure your foot accurately before purchasing. This can save you the hassle of returns and exchanges.In conclusion, these ASICS shoes are a great choice if you're looking for comfort and cushioning, but be aware of potential issues with arch support and sizing. Make sure to measure your foot and consult the sizing guide to ensure the best fit for your needs.

Always liked Asics, shoes are comfortable and wear well, very durable. This particular pair was a lot more narrow in the toe box and about a half size shorter than my previous pair. I've never required wide shoes so something changed in their factory last? Still, I recommend Asics, just wouldn't work for me this time.

May not go back to NikeVery wide and great lookImpressive

I have been wearing these shoes since I had surgery for great toe arthritis two years ago. Far more supportive, comfortable, and durable than Brooks shoes I wore immediately after surgery. And half the cost!

I walk a minimum of 2 miles a day on concrete in the inner city daily. I developed health issues that would often impact my knees and feet, and my doctors finally suggested trying different shoes as there was no medical evidence of anything that required an operation or physical therapy. The act of walking on concrete alone every day or standing for large periods of time never bothered me throughout my life until this past year when I hit 50 years of age. My "go-to" pairs of Nike running shoes and Hurley walking shoes were showing significant wear after three years but the typical brands I buy were not helping with the constantly present pain. I have never purchased a pair of ASICS, but after research I gave these a shot blindly. WOW! What a relief! From the minute I put them on I felt the support and they hugged my feet well. The sturdy build kept my posture straight, but I was concerned about the break in period. Other brands would fail after a day or two on foot. Not these! I walked close to seven miles the very first day with NO PAIN during or after, and that is nothing short of a miracle. I will definitely be purchasing more pairs, as any shoes I buy that work well end production within a year or so and cycle out for a newer version that are not always well made. Thanks ASICS!

First, I ordered a pair of Asics in the size I ordered last time. They fit horribly.Second, I ordered another pair of Asics in the size that usually fit with another vendor. They did not fit either! The third time was the charm with these Asics! I normally wear a size 9 3EE, but ordered a size 10EW in these shoes and the fit is comfortable and plenty of cushioning when I walk.

These are very comfortable for me, nice snug fit and have been helpful in relieving leg and back painThat's what I'm experiencing everyone's different
