Running on Cloud 9: A Blissful Journey in ASICS Gel-Contend 7 Running Shoes!

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2023

Size: 8Color: Metropolis/MurasakiVerified Purchase

Pros:
Cloud-Like Comfort:
The ASICS Gel-Contend 7 is like wrapping my feet in a cozy cloud. The cushioning feels like walking on marshmallows, making every stride a delight. It's as close to a foot-hug as you can get in a shoe.

Supportive Embrace:
These shoes are the best running buddies a gal could ask for. The arch support is like having a personal cheerleader for my feet, ensuring a comfortable and supported journey on every run. Say goodbye to achy arches!

Breathability Bliss:
My feet have never felt so fresh. The breathability of these shoes is like opening a window for my toes. No more sweaty sock situations – it's the perfect blend of ventilation and support.

Style That Stands Out:
The Gel-Contend 7 doesn't just perform; it's a style statement. The sleek design and vibrant colors make me feel like I'm not just running; I'm strutting my stuff on a fashion runway. A+ for both form and function!

Durable Delight:
These shoes are built to last. The durability is like having a pair of trusty sidekicks for my fitness journey. They've tackled everything from pavement to trails, and they still look and feel brand new.

Cons:
Warning: Shoe Envy Ahead:
Be prepared for fellow runners to give your shoes longing looks. The Gel-Contend 7 has the power to induce serious shoe envy. You might need to share the secret to your stylish and comfortable runs.

Risk of Overrunning:
The comfort is so addictive; you might find yourself running longer distances unintentionally. It's like the shoes whisper, "Keep going; you're doing great!" Warning: Marathon training may become a spontaneous hobby.

Overall Impression:
ASICS Gel-Contend 7 is not just a running shoe; it's a commitment to comfort, style, and durability. It's the footwear equivalent of a perfect playlist – each step is a note in a harmonious symphony of fitness.

Recommendation:
For women seeking the perfect blend of comfort, support, and style in a running shoe, the Gel-Contend 7 is a must-have. Lace up, hit the pavement, and get ready to experience the joy of running with happy feet. ASICS, you've created a masterpiece for every woman on the run!

Size: 7.5 WideColor: Black/Lilac OpalVerified Purchase

These shoes are so comfortable. Iv had them for about a week. My feet can start to hurt easily with the wrong pair of shoes and these haven’t made them hurt once. I will say I go a wide pare and the don’t seem made for wide feet. So the she is kinda snug but hasn’t been a problem yet.

Tight at first and slow delivery.

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2024

Verified Purchase

At first I thought I might need to size up, but after wearing a few days they fit nicely. I love the look of them. I have narrow flat feet, so I would recommend getting wide or sizing up for normal size feet. Not sure they would work for feet with large arches, as mine fit pretty snug. Shipping gave a whole week window for delivery and it still didn't ship until the day after the window, luckily it shipped next day.

Great running shoe

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2024

Size: 6Color: Metropolis/MurasakiVerified Purchase

I have several pairs of this shoe. I run about 5 miles every day and the sneaker holds up great. I have had several other sneakers that get holes or the heel wears out and I have no problem with the these. Sneaker is very comfortable and I never get blisters. I do order up a size in this brand shoe. Great price

So comfortable with soft inner sole!

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2024

Verified Purchase

This shoe is my go to for walking comfort and support. This is my third pair. It comes in a variety of colors too. I love the fit. I have bunions and Morton's Neuroma which makes for painful feet. I ordered this 1/2 size larger than my normal size and in wide to accomodate my feet issues. The extra width prevents rubbing on top and sides of my feet. What I love is that they don't make me look like I have big feet! I ordered a 10.5 wide and I couldn't be happier.
It is like walking on a cloud! These shoes are accompanying me to Europe where I plan on wearing them with knee length dresses.

Great running shoe for high arch, order half size larger

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2023

Size: 8.5Color: Midnight Blue/Hot PinkVerified Purchase

I am on my 4th pair of the Asics gel-contend 7 running shoe. I have a high arch and speed walk about 30-35 miles/week. For over a decade I wore Brooks Ghost shoes and with a change around Ghost 13 I could no longer wear them without getting heel blisters. It forced me to find this shoe which is a lot less expensive:) I do wish the bottom didn't wear out as fast. I have to replace about every 6 months, however, I noticed that with the more recent Brooks shoes also. Although with the recent pairs, my tween girls have still worn my retired shoes since they don't need the same support and besides the bottoms they still look great. In October 23 I purchased the gel-contend 8. I returned them and got the gel-contend 7 because I didn't feel like it had as much arch support and the heel height seemed shorter. The 8 was not as comfortable as the 7. I also have bunions that make my foot a little wider, but not wide enough for a wide version of shoes and I think these fit well (so maybe not the best shoe for someone with narrow feet). I usually wear a size 8 and from the reviews I ordered and 8.5 and it fit perfectly.

Size: 11 WideColor: Sheet Rock/Pink SaltVerified Purchase

I liked this shoe a lot but it was way too little. I wear an 11 and really was hoping these would work but ran a half a size to small and they didn’t have any 11.5 shoes available.

Great sneakers. White sole. Not for mowing lawns in.

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2024

Size: 9Color: Black/Lilac OpalVerified Purchase

If you wear this sneaker and mow a lawn, the green grass clippings will stain the white sole green. Other than that small detail that I found annoying, I’d recommend this sneaker because it’s comfortable.
