Ideal for wide feet

My husband was always looking for comfortable running shoes. He has wide feet and not many wide shoes. I read the positive reviews on ebay and came across this product. He loves her! Good cushion support, comfortable, light weight, perfect for running. I love the color choices and the great price

Pros
  • Very comfortable walking shoes at a very good price.
Cons
  • Not wide enough. It wasn't comfortable. returned

Great for my wife's feet

I have wide feet and I have a hard time finding the right shoes. I ordered 4E shoes and they fit great. The gel sole is very comfortable when walking. I loved these so I ordered a second pair.

Pros
  • no complaints - they have endured walking/running/gardening very well for several months
Cons
  • Too narrow. I had to go back. But ebay makes it easy

Terrible support in my review

I run all the time (multimarathons). I've never had a problem with running shoes. This pair gave me back pain as soon as I started using them. I've been trying for the past few months with no success. I read other reviews and expected them to be of higher quality. I would have avoided

Pros
  • I've had shoes before and they are the same model and they fit great
Cons
  • I used to like Asiki. I wish they had more structure like Hokas.

Poor quality: my rating

I buy shoes in advance because it is difficult to find size 8xw. They must have been wearing them for 3 months and the upper part already has quarter sized holes due to the mesh on both shoes. Wouldn't recommend anyone to buy these.

Pros
  • I love these for my husband who runs 3-6 miles every day. With this use, they last about 4 months.
Cons
  • The surface of shoes can quickly become slippery, creating a risk of slipping and falling.

The third pair of them

I'm pretty strict about shoes. This is my third pair in the last three years. They are very comfortable and offer excellent cushioning.

Pros
  • As expected
Cons
  • The shoes are relatively heavy, which can lead to fatigue during long training sessions.

These shoes are the quality I always expect from ASICS and they were delivered as promised. However, since I didn't have any width options on the order page, I ordered a size 13 (my usual size) expecting them to fit well. This is the first (and last) time I have bought/will buy shoes without trying them on first. This pair fits less than I expected and as I have wide feet I had to loosen the laces a lot to put them on. I only wore them a few times to get in. The seller sent what was ordered, so

Pros
  • Always buy these shoes for everyday use on the court. Buy a new pair every six months to support your foot.
Cons
  • Due to the lack of quality materials, significant wear and tear on the sole and upper may occur after a short period of use.

Good product, fits well

These shoes came out a few years ago and fit very well. I've since tried buying Asics and they didn't fit at all. I have a pair I bought earlier this year that don't fit. Asics seems to have stopped offering shoes in different widths. I'm so glad I found theses online because I love these shoes.

Pros
  • Very good shoes. The only problem is the seam at the bottom, the laces are very tight on the toes.
Cons
  • Nice looking shoes, not durable at all.

Finally a real "wide " shoe for those who need it!

It's so hard to find shoes that fit my husband and match the description and size. Asics never disappoints but I can tell you that you have to be careful what type you have let's say 4E or 2E, we've bought one before and they were narrow. It was not! beautiful and spacious.

Pros
  • Well made, fits well, comfortable and inexpensive.
Cons
  • The lacing system is not very strong and may loosen or break after minimal use.

Great shoes for the price

Great shoes for the price. While I'm not a "great runner," I do run a lot (mostly half marathons but a few full marathons) and have tried many brands and models. For me it fits and works very well. It may not be for highly competitive runners - they say they are entry-level and novice - but it's a solid shoe that fits me perfectly. With the right lacing - not too tight and not too loose - I don't get blisters even on very long runs.

Pros
  • Ideal
Cons
  • Not that convenient

Love it! my pros and cons

I received my product today and drove for 40 minutes. Perfect. I've been using Mizuno Wave Creations for ten years now and decided to give it a try here. I like it a lot more than my Mizunos. And he looks beautiful too. Good price.

Pros
  • You can no longer find these in stores. I like the landing very much.
Cons
  • The color scheme isn't for everyone and can be tricky to match with workout clothes.

Great running shoes!

I've tried the more expensive Asics models and wasn't as happy as the Contend 3. Trained for a marathon and rode 150+ miles a month and they work great.

Pros
  • Superior comfort
Cons
  • Doesn't provide enough arch support for longer runs or high-intensity workouts.

Corresponds to my rating

I ordered these shoes because I've had them in the past. I have flat, wide feet and usually have to order larger ones to fit the width of my foot. Everything is as expected. Very happy with the width of the shoe, it's just what I need

Pros
  • I want to buy an extra pair
Cons
  • The gel sole is no longer soft.

very good heel hold

I've only been using Asics at work for about 15 years, the Gel-Contend 3 model for about 5-6 years. I hope they always succeed. I order 3-4 pairs at a time. Fits as expected, very good heel hold, last a long time, no negative comments.

Pros
  • not bad
Cons
  • Expensive compared to other brands offering better quality in the same price range.

Good shoes for thick-footed idiots. lol jk

Great shoes. 240 pounds, I run 10 miles a week and they are still in good shape. Cheap and comes in 4e, which is crucial for us Bigfoot relatives.

Pros
  • I bought these to wear to work as a neutral color. They fit as expected. You are cozy. I wear them when I can!
Cons
  • These shoes were ok. Not the best I've ever had and not the worst. Nothing special that would make me recommend them.

His favorite sneakers

Bought these for my boyfriend to replace his current pair. You are beautiful! We first tried Gel-4 but it wasn't wide even though it was listed as wide.

Pros
  • Great shoe at a great price, exact size fits perfectly
Cons
  • The cushioning of the sole is insufficient, which causes discomfort and pain in the feet.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Like a product. The delivery time was also fair.

I liked the price of the shoes. This is a repeat purchase of this item. The cost was also comparable to the prices in a shoe store. Shoes fit as expected.

Pros
  • My husband loves these shoes. He had many pairs of this version. He wears size 15 shoes and Asics is his favorite brand.
Cons
  • I have a bruise on my right toe because the boot is too small!

Great shoes for my husband

I bought my husband a pair of these sneakers over a year ago and he wore them almost every day so he decided to buy him another pair as he has a hole in the top of one of them from excessive wear. He likes them a lot and they have a great breadth that he needs.

Pros
  • Great shoes at a good price
Cons
  • Shoes do not let air through, which leads to sweaty feet and an unpleasant odor.

The general fit has changed.

I have ordered the same shoes multiple times in the same size and this is the first time the overall fit has been too tight. I wore them for one day, so I guess a return isn't possible

Pros
  • The third pair, a very good shoe, lasts about 18 months at a slow pace of two to three miles a day.
Cons
  • Not for me

I will buy a few more

You are perfect for me. I was going to say they run a bit small but I have to buy ALL THE SHOES a whole size up so they will probably fit most people. I have a large volume (wide high arch) of the foot.

Pros
  • I like them. Good fit and comfortable
Cons
  • too small
