ASICS Men's GEL-Contend 5 Running Shoes

I have big wide feet and it's hard to find wide shoes that fit and look good so when I buy shoes I try to get a few pairs of good shoes to last for a good while. I pretty much only wear asics because they are easily the most comfortable, best looking, durable, breathable, shoe brand I've ever tried and they carry quite a bit of wide and extra wide styles. Now obviously that's not the most objective statement a person can make because I can't provide statistical data to back up my claims but I know that for me and for my experience with shoes, these last a lot better and fit better than Nike's, they look a lot better and also outlast Rebok's, they fit better and outlast Adidas, and they're more supportive and comfortable that pumas, avias, converse, and sketches and those don't have anything I like the look of. The only other brand of shoes I've had good luck with are New Balance. These particular Asics are my favorite of the pairs I own. Stupid me wore them while using expansion foam to fill in gaps between wall packs in my sunroom to insulate it better and I should a dab of that stuff on the toe. I don't know what they make expansion foam out of but it apparently forms a molecular bond with shore mesh in such a way that it creates a new material impervious to cleaning supplies of any kind. These were a really good price too. I think I only paid $45 for these which is awesome because big fat feet people get penalized by show companies for having big fat feet and they jack up wide shoes and particularly wide shoes over size 11.

When is the last time you were complimented on your shoes? Well not once, in two years of Extreme Dadding that I wore this pair, did I hear a word of appreciation for them.Not once. Not when they kept me comfortable for 2.75 miles of walking with a kid on my shoulders because what they charge for parking near the stadium is unconscionable. Not when they held me upright trying to teach the kids soccer in the backyard. No neighbor mentioned them all the times I circling the neighborhood to satisfy the step counter, or when they passed me applying the proper season's fertilizer to the lawn. If these shoes were so breathable that they never got smelly even when I wore them without socks in the summer heat while futzing for with the generator I have no idea how to fix, nobody said a word.In fact the nicest thing ever said of them was that time I tried to repair my driveway, then hired someone to fix the mess I made, then stood around while he worked talking driveway. The driveway guy said "Stand back, you don't want to get tar on those."If a word was said about these shoes, it was only because they were being (unfairly) blamed for tracking mud in the house, or that one time, tar.But even unappreciated, slightly tarred shoes do wear out in time. If I was fancy or fashionable I might even have taken the opportunity to get different shoes that would occasion more favorable commentary. But I am Dad, so I bought the same shoes again. Had they been on sale, I might have even bought two! You know, just in case--like all the best cargo shorts--they ever stop making them. Perhaps then my Asics might earn a modicum of appreciation for all the wonderful, economic, thoughtful, helpful, and capable things they do, might finally hear someone say "Thank you, dad shoes."

Very comfortable sneakers for both training and walking.Fits my leg perfectly. I am very pleased with the purchase.

They are comfortable, not too expensive, and can handle sports.

Great running shoes. A little stiff and snug out of the box, but my husband, who has a regular width, said they loosened up after a two wears and fit perfectly. He uses them to work out and do yard work. This color works great to hide grass stains obviously so much better than shoes with white heels.

Very nice comfortable. I'm heavy, and I need good shoes.

A year ago my runs topped out at a three or four miles, which had been my limit for a few years. At the age of 40 and some change I didn't think I was ever going to be able to push beyond that. Then I happened on a pair of these shoes at a ridiculously low price, now I'm ripping off 8 mile runs with ease, and even 10-11 hilly miles on occasion. The shoes have held up extremely well over a year and roughly 1000 miles. I'll probably have to change them out soon simply for all the mileage I've put on them, but their performance has been amazing.As for the fit, I take a 9.5, and they fit me perfectly, with not trouble using thin socks in the warmer months and full wool for cold winter days. They breathe well, which is really great in the hot of summer (but of course less than ideal in colder weather, hence the wool socks).Ultimately, it's an amazing shoe, changed my life. An incredible value at its regular price.

At 73 yrs old and weighting in at 257/6'2" I was really hoping to find a new "walking" shoe for my 2+ mile walks on paths (not dirt). This shoe was near perfect in its instant comfort. I wore them around the house for about 4 hours in order to break them in gradually instead of the other way around. Yesterday, I took them on a 2 mile walk with my walking bud, Maddie (Havanese) and I'm here to tell you they performed very well. By the time I arrived home my feet weren't screaming and I knew I could have gone further. Arch support was great, the gel soles were exactly as the seller said they would be. Lower back issues didn't act up on my during the walk which made the walk itself fantastic. We'll be hitting the pavement shortly and will take them a half mile further this time. Gradual is the key to having the right experience. I'm convinced!

Muy cómodos y me convenció el color

Also, ich bleibe dabei, es ist der beste Schuh zum Trail laufen.Habe schon 3 Paar davon durch gelaufen.Halt im Schuh und Grip im Gelände sind unglaublich gut.Das ist die Motocross unter den Trailschuhen Aaaaaber:Die Schwächen auf den Bildern haben Sie alle!Das die Schnürlaschen aufreißen ist das Eine aber dass der Schuh im vorderen Bereich aufgeht und das bei allen 3 Paaren die ich bis jetzt hatte ist ziemlich beschissen (man sieht auch den Klebe versucht von mir - forget it).Habe einige Lauf Kumpel die vom gleichen Phänomen berichten, ist also eine Asics GTX Schwäche!Die Schuhe sind 4.5 Monate alt und nach 1.5 oder 2 hat das mit dem aufreißen begonnen.

Leider hat der Schuh nach 8 Monaten gelegentlichem Einsatz bei, schlechtem Wetter, Risse im Mashgewebe so das ich das Produkt nicht empfehlen kann
