I bought my first pair of ASICS a year ago and once it was time for a new pair, I knew right where to go. Unfortunately, when I was looking in stores, they didn't have my size in the gel contend 4s. I was disappointed because I loved the gel contend 3s and wanted to just get the latest model. I bought a pair of sauconys and Im thankful I only spent $50. The traction wasn't that good and they were blocky. I then had the realization to check amazon, which is what I should have done in the first place! Not only did they have my size but they also had multiple colors to choose from! Wore them for the first time today and walked over a mile. Felt perfect and they are t even completely broken in yet! I won't make the same mistake and buy another non ASICS running shoe again!
