Disappointing
Disappointing. I've bought Asics running shoes for years and years and this was my first entry into 'walking' shoes. This Gel-Contend walking shoe lacks any style, compared to the Asics running range. I accept that I opted for the colour black, but these look like two lumps of molten lead! Yes, they're cheaper than what I'm used to paying for running shoes, and I'd forgive that if they were a good fit. However, I bought the correct size US13 (which is my Asics size for running shoes), but these Gel-Contend's are uncomfortably tight, which the running shoes never were. It will take so long to bed them into my feet, that I can see myself changing back to running shoes for walking. I won't be going back to Asics for walking shoes!

Still moving!
I’m a senior citizen and I really benefited from the comfort provided by the gel- contend. I still hike and this shoe helps make walking possible during my golden years.

These shoes gave me arthritis in my knee
The first thing I will say is that these shoes cost me 40 bucks so I shouldn't expect a whole lot from 40 dollar shoes. But. I walk my dog a mile every morning and afternoon with these shoes and also run 18 miles a week with a different pair of ASICS. Ever since I got these, my right knee has been bad. Like really bad. Walking is painful. Running is agony until the pain goes away. Went to the doctor and was told I have arthritis in my right knee. Only started after wearing these shoes. I started narrowing down the issues and decided to stop wearing these shoes for a week on these dog walks. No pain. All gone. I feel 100% again. My running times are back to normal and my pain is gone. So just be aware before buying these shoes that they can cause issues.

Walking Shoe
Most uncomfortable shoe I have worn for years. The heal / shoulder is to firm, the shoe rubs against the back of the ankle with excessive friction resulting in the removal of skin and causing open sores. Very disappointed with this shoe

Flexibility
A bit tight on the feet, particularly the toes. It needs more flexibility to reduce the sense of stiffness when walking.

Gel-Contend SL
This pair of running shoes are comfortable. Typical of ASICS shoes, they are well designed for fast running (speed work) as well as the fact you can comfortably complete a long run in them. I carry out a 26mile run in these shoes each Sunday without any issues. The perfect shoe for continuous effort and training.

A shoe great for fallen arches and walking 4+ mile
Great shoes for those that have fallen arches and last a long time walking 4+ miles a day. Water does not seem to damage them either.
