Review: The perfect running shoe for value and comfort - I've had a couple periods of my life, each lasting a few months, where I ran pretty consistently--but I never kept it up. I decided to take up again almost five years ago in my mid-30s, and I haven't stopped since (only for water breaks)! This was the first time I realized I needed an actual running shoe, and somehow I stumbled upon the Asics Gel-Contend series (I think the 3rd generation). For the last several years, this is my sole running shoe--pun intended, because if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I know my size, they are comfortable and supportive without feeling overly-cushioned, and they've kept me mostly injury-free through a marathon, a half-marathon, several 10Ks, countless 5Ks, and thousands of miles of training. Best of all, they're CHEAP! My running buddies often spend north of $100 on shoes and have different pairs for races, etc. But I never use anything but these and have never paid more than $50. As a result, it doesn't pinch my wallet to replace them every 400 miles (about every 3 months). In my return to running, I've discovered that cheap new shoes are better than expensive old ones, so I will just continue to buy these as long in whatever generation is on sale at the end of my 3 months. Or, better yet, just check periodically and buy them when they're on sale and have a pair in reserve. My only gripe is that I always get a blister on my right second toe with these shoes. But since it's been so long since I've worn any others, it might not be the shoe. Not enough to take off a star. PRO TIP: Keep these things from stinking (especially after running in the rain) with something like this: https://www.desertcart.com/Sof-Sole-Sneaker-Locker-Deodorizer/dp/B003IJ6HFM/ref=sr_1_3?crid=194MBZ176NAEZ&keywords=sneaker+balls+shoe+deodorizers&qid=1563493495&s=gateway&sprefix=sneaker+balls%2Caps%2C145&sr=8-3
Review: Very comfortable cushion with a nice style - As someone who's had a narrow foot most of his life, the medium felt a little snug at first. Suffice to say I didn't have to lace them through the extra holes to make them tighter. I shouldn't be too picky as they are quite comfortable and the amount of cushion feels just right (not too squishy and not too firm--kind of a Goldilocks thing!). It may have a bit too much cushion for a seasoned runner but I just wanted a pair of sneakers for walking my dog--my running days are over. Considering the price point, they're a perfect match. Perfectly suited for my needs without having to go "high end" as I'm not concerned with trimming ounces for a long-distance running shoe.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great shoes
*by K***Q on December 31, 2020*

These are the best pair of Asics I've owned. They are durable and great for walking, I've even hiked in them. Asics and other shoes companies changed their sizing a few years ago, so I had to go up a half size from 11.5 to 12 and get the extra wides in order for these to not pinch my feet. I tried extra wide in other Asics and they were too roomy, these fit perfectly. I've tried on the more expensive styles of Asics, if you weigh 150 pounds and are built like a gentle gazelle those are great. I am not a gazelle, and I'd wear shoes like that out in 2 months which is why I like these –– 10 months and still going.
