Asics Gel-Contend review

Asics Gel-Contend

The pair I kept by the door.

8/104.5 / 5

Asics Gel-Contend is the other budget Asics, and the reviews treat it as the sensible one. I kept this pair by the door. The gel is familiar, the fit is secure, and they did not fall apart during the test.The comments that repeat are comfort for the money and a fit that suits a normal width. The comments that warn you are about weight, they are not feathery, and about the upper looking dated. Both fair. I cared more about the fact my feet were still speaking to me afterwards.

£40
