Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 4

These sneakers are very light and comfortable. The toe box is perfect for me. Though I don't have a wide foot, I usually struggle finding a not too narrow, not too wide sneaker. This is the perfect width. I definitely recommend these.

This shoe is perfect! I wear a neutral running shoe and have found this one to be neutral with an added but of support. Fits true to size and is great on the trails!

Great for trail running either paved or unpaved. I have been training in these for a month and was able to wear them with no 'break in period'. Fantastic fit and light.

I have a high arch but these fit great. I bought a wide width and am not disappointed in the room it gives my feet. Love the color and fit.

These are lightweight and fantastic! I run 30-35 miles per week, and was shocked that such inexpensive shoes do the job. And they are pretty!

This is my absolute favorite shoe. I have had 4 knee surgeries and a back surgery and this is the only shoe I can wear and not have any pains at the end of a 12 hour shift. After my first pair had to be retired, I purchased the exact same pair/color! Best purchase ever.

I love this shoe! I have horrible peripheral neuropathy which means my feet hurt all the time and it doesn't matter what shoes I wear, they hurt. Asics Gel shoes have not hurt my feet whatsoever from the time I took them out of the box. The first 8 hours, I was getting used to having actual shoes on after wearing sandals with socks because I couldn't find shoes I could wear, but that wasn't the shoe's fault. After I was used to the shoes being on my feet, I've not taken them off since! If you suffer from bunions, get the wide width; otherwise they're tending to be a touch large. I just went out and bought fat socks to take up the extra room I now have!

Everywhere I go I get compliments on these shoes! I've been wearing Asics for about 10 years, love them. The most comfortable shoe for a narrow foot, that also wants more space through the toe box. If you like a snug fit through the foot, with space for your toes to breathe, these are the shoes for you. And the color is really great in person. Love.

Wow, don't go by the price of an item to determine the best fit. I ordered several pairs to try because I have a hard-to-fit foot and plantar fasciitis. The most expensive shoe -- which I would have been willing to pay it for a good fit -- was really not for me, no cushion, and wide. This one at half the price was perfect. I would have rated it as Excellent on arch support which I get with my orthotic in it.

I love Asics so much. It is all I will buy. These were true to size with good support and I have pretty bad feet. I run, walk, workout and hike in these with no issues at all. Super versatile and the price can't be beat. I get compliments on their style all the time as well. Easy to wear outside the gym.

I usually wear a 10 in shoes, but for these sneakers I had to go a 1/2 size up. I have also added the Spenco insoles to them and am ready for my bootcamp workout tonight.

This shoes by far are the most comfortable sports shoes I've had. I was a Nike girl and I was afraid of trying another brand and i don't regret it! Asics are much more comfortable that any other sports shoe. These are great for walking and running! I also bought a pair for my mom and she loves them!

I bought this pair of Asics to replace a worn out pair. The Gel Venture was the closest I found to the pair I was replacing. The sneakers fit great and are comfortable in use.

First time wearing these shoes, but they are great. Feels good to my feet. Fits very good. Normally don't order shoes online, but these are great. Will be ordering more shoes on Zappos. Hard to find shoes that are wide enough but did not have any problem here at Zappos. Service is very good, sales people are willing to help you find what you need. Very nice people to deal with.

Great pair of shoes! Fit comfortably, very comfortable and sturdy. Did not get blisters the first time I wore them either!

These sneakers are a bit unconfortable. At first I bought my size 10 but the cut was too snugged. I returned those and got a size 10½ but I am realizing that they are ok but when you run/walk it is still a lil uncomfortable. I just kept them because at this point I already wore them. I will definitely consider getting a different cut sneaker because the Asics are made to run small.

I bought these for mud runs. I am just practicing in them now. I will update after they actually make it through a run.

On the narrower side of wide but very stable shoe. The mesh on a lot of shoes allows my foot to "hang over" the top of the footbed when any lateral pressure is exerted but these kept that from happening. It was comparable in comfort to more expensive shoes I tried also. I have orthotics and have had a hard time finding a cute shoe that fits them but this one works. I use these for the gym, walking on trails and just running around town. I would love to see more supportive, stable, CUTE shoes from Asics in a wide width.

Great shoe, love Asics! Great arch support. I use this shoe for 15-20 miles of trail running per week and it has excellent support.

Needed some shoes for light hiking. I have problematic feet and flat arches. These fit the bill. They have stability in the inner foot area but are super lightweight. I wouldn't recommend for heavy hiking but are very comfy for shorter hikes. (5 miles).

These shoes had all the things that I was looking for; good arch support, breathable uppers, and impact cushioning. I did have to order half a size larger than I usually wear. I give style only four stars, because I wish they were available in a basic color without neon accents.

Ordered these shoes in the boysenberry/lightning color on Friday, got them on Monday (you can't beat service that fast!). Love these shoes. They are so cute. I only have two issues - the first is one that has been mentioned in other reviews so there seems to be an issue with the website or the camera used to take the picture - these shoes are not in any way shape or form red! The part that looks red in the picture is actually very very purple! Still a very sharp looking shoe though! The second issue, and I have this issue with my other pair of Asics as well, is that the shoe laces are way too short. I can barely tie a bow with them, never mind double knot, to keep them tied. Granted they are so short that when they do come untied they don't trip you up but I would still have preferred longer laces that don't come untied in the first place.

Amazing shoes! Colors go really well together and I get compliments all of the time since they aren't normally what you see in the stores. Fits like a glove - though ran .5 size small (normally wear 9, had to order 9.5). Perfect for my arches. Love Asics, love this shoe! Highly recommend!!!

This one is a keeper! I loved it as soon as I saw its picture. The pale blue (mesh) is very attractive. It's different without being too bright and/or vivid. Fortunately when the the shoe arrived, it fit me perfectly and was very comfortable. I wore it the same day it arrived...put it on right out of the box and walked around for hours. I'm very happy with this shoe.

I love these shoes and they're such a comfortable fit. Really supportive of my bad foot also. I think at first I got a pair of wrongly labeled sized shoes because I ordered the same size I always do and half my foot wouldn't even fit in the shoe. Customer service fixed it quick and I got them the next day. I've been enjoying them ever since.
