Excellent for a 4E wide foot!
As a female with a wide foot, it is very hard to find a good, comfortable shoe for walking, running and hiking. These were immediately comfortable and really didn't require a break in, although they are more comfortable after a few days of use. My 1st day I put about 5 miles on them and they were great. The cushion isn't like a cloud, but it's there and very responsive. These are very supportive and breathable. I have gone on a few Easy to moderate hikes with them and they're just fine for a dryer trail. They have good grip for rocks as well. 10/10 for these! I will also add that I underpronate, and these provide wonderful stability for that.

Good shoe, probably runs small but works for me
Comfortable shoe. Some might find it runs small. I usually get a size 13 but they typically feel too big (looking at you Nimbus). Most Asics sized 12.5 seem too snug. These Contend-9 are just right, the 13 is almost like a size 12.75 and a perfect fit. The white shoe material is very bright, the plastic areas are almost an off-white/creamy color which distracts from the look. I don't run but do weights and cardio - I'd recommend for those uses. Unsure about comfort for running.

Good arch support and cushioning. Size up by 1/2.
I’ve been wearing this brand and similar styles for years. Initially, I started because of my long hours at the gym working to lose weight and get in shape as a middle-age person. Then, I realized my knees were so bad that changing shoes could cause pain so I always try to get something as close to my favorite as possible. There are two things that are super important to me. The first is a lot of cushioning because I have zero cartilage in my knees. The second is good arch support and fit that holds my feet in the right place so that my knees are aligned as as well as as they can be. These shoes fit the bill! They’re quite similar to my last two pairs with the noticeable difference being I needed a size 10 instead of a 9 1/2. I’m thankful prior reviewers notice this so I didn’t end up returning these for a larger size and got 10 to start with! The one thing I noticed, which is really just kind of comical is when I look down at my feet, the profile looks snatched in the midsection of the shoe. Part of that is the optical illusion because the white portion of the soul of the shoe is flared out from the black portion, and the other part is just a function of the arch support giving the appearance that the midsection of my foot is actually much smaller. I will say when I initially put these on, I was skeptical because I felt like the heel portion was not going to be high enough and stay on. I don’t know why it felt that way at first, but once I started walking, it was fine. Possibly just the feel of a new Spring issue instead of my old pair. Also, just a note in case it’s important, if you love the smell of the new tires as you walk out of Costco, you’re going to love these shoes! (yes I’m one of those strange people that think that the tires smell great. It has to be some sort of nostalgia.). The first time I wore, I did go to Costco and my whole car smelled like new tires. I didn’t smell them so much when I was walking around Costco and then Walmart although I could but definitely in the car they’re smelly. I’m assuming this will go away but for me it doesn’t make any difference. However, I know some people are sensitive to odors so it’s on the. “ good to know list”. Chances are throwing them in the laundry will remove the outer

Fit, style, and comfort for a good price.
I have foot problems and my podiatrist told me to get better athletic shoes with support...and specifically called out ASICS--a brand I had never considered before. I need a 12 1/2 WIDE and ASICS does it right. These offer good support with a rigid enough sole to hold my feet in a good position. I do more cross-training than running and my feet thank me for buying better shoes. Even in classic black and white, they're still fairly stylish. Fit, comfort, style...all at a good price.

Lots of cushion and comfort
Love these sneakers! The shoes look amazing and they feel fantastic. I’m not a runner but the cushion feels very substantial so they feel great walking and for standing for long periods of time. The mesh material is breathable and the sole is lightweight. Highly recommend!

Really great support!
I've been wearing these shoes while being on my feet all day for work, and they've been fantastic. I also have back issues, so good support is really important to me. The support these ASICS provide is well above the rest of the shoes I've tried, and they've made a noticeable difference in my comfort throughout the day. They're very comfortable right out of the box, and even after hours of walking and standing, my feet still feel good. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet.

Unas zapatillas confortables
Las uso para salir a caminar y algunas veces para correr, y la verdad es que son bastante cómodas. El tejido exterior para mi gusto es demasiado endeble, pero en general la zapatilla cumple con su función. El tallaje es ideal, como todas las zapatillas de Asics. Tienen una buena relación calidad y precio. Las recomiendo.
