Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Venture® 5

I like these shoes. I usually work out at the gym so these were perfect. A little narrow but I do have narrow feet!

I recently had foot surgery to remove a bone spur on my big toe. I needed a sneaker with a wider toe box, and had a difficult time finding a pair that were comfortable and stylish. After shopping for endless hours and trying on numerous sneaker styles, I finally settled on the ASICS-Gel-Venture 5. I ordered up half a size in a wide width. The sneakers are very comfortable, have great look and I paid less than expected. I would definitely recommend them!

This is my second pair of Asics (first pair was gel resolution for tennis) and I am sold on the Asics brand. True to size, very comfortable and good support. I would definitely recommend a try with these if you haven't yet!

I recently joined a gym and have been doing Zumba classes. I wanted a reasonably priced, yet supportive sneaker. Very glad I went with this one. It's extremely comfy, has great support, and really cute! Excellent quality.

I love these shoes! They were great right out of the box! They were true to size and offer a great amount of support. I would by another pair! I've gotten so many compliments on the pistachio and pink combo!

I really like these shoes. They have good support for running and they are very comfortable. I have pretty good luck with the Asics brand.

My first pair of Asics. Yes, really! I had a terrible back issue over the winter, and my physical therapist recommended these for walking. They have lots of support and so far, after two months, no back trouble while walking! I felt like they were a little stiff at first, but after just a few walks, they're very comfortable.

Hello. I do crossfit twice a week in outdoors. I had bought a pair just like these before when I used to train indoors, and I've had them for 3 years now, they're still good as new, and super comfortable. I used them to run, do weights, do crossfit and all sports I was into at the moment. Since those were such a good buy, I decided to buy new ones in another color. I have worn them for 3 weeks now, and so far, so good. Just like with the other pair, I have no complaints whatsoever. The best pair of sports shoes I've bought. I highly recommend this brand and these sports shoes, you won't regret it.

Just what I have come to expect from ASics. Lightweight, comfortable, and ready to run right out of the box.

Great Asics style. Very comfortable. I'm keeping this shoe because it's a nice contrast to typical white walking shoes. Fits well and gives a nice "spring" to my step!

Zappos was amazing with exchanging one size for another in a day's time! I ordered Friday and by Tuesday I had already received the other size I needed. I ordered these for running on my treadmill and on trails near my home. I had to order a half size up and it was amazing how quick their service was. I've always gone back to Asics because of the gel soles...my heels tend to get sore in other brands' sneakers. I got the pistachio and pink ones...they are even better in person. They can go with jeans or workout gear. Love them!

I am so happy that Zappos got these shoes. I was having a difficult time locating them anywhere in my size. I can't believe how light these shoes are! They are much lighter than I was anticipating. I tried them on about half way through the day and the size seems true to fit. Also, the colors are much more appealing in person than they appear in the pictures. I purchased these shoes for more outdoor activity as I did not want to wear the gym shoes I wear out side on pavement. These shoes have great traction on the soles. I haven't run yet in these shoe but I am sure they will be great for that as well. I am looking forward to incorporating more outdoor activity in these shoes!

This a good fit. You can't wear thick socks if you order exact sizing. Overall, I like them. Color availability is not great. Would recommend for fit.

Overall very happy with this product.

These shoes are great for daily wear. I wouldn’t recommend running long distances in them due to lack of cushioning.

Didn't feel comfortable out of the box. Felt narrower than I was expecting.

I ordered a wide width but the sneakers were too narrow. Returning them. Nice looking

These are a great supportive walking/hiking shoe. They're a little too stiff to run in, but walking is very comfortable.

I purchased the wide (D). But footbed was not wide at all at the arch area, just the toe box. I don't consider myself to have wide midfoot, and my ankles are actually very slim, so it was a surprise. Couldn't actually test it because the arch area was so narrow it hurt.

These were for my daughter who wears a 10 wide. She tried that size for these but they were too tight on her feet. An 11M worked perfectly. She has been wearing these to the gym and while running errands and her feet never get sore or tired.

Love the colors! Asics are my go-to sneaker for logging miles on walks and for comfort around town. Good support, excellent cushioning. Like other reviewers have mentioned, this pair runs small- but has a great footbed and is very comfortable.

the style runs too narrow for me. even the wide rubbed my instep and the toe box is not very deep. My husband who doesnt have wide feet made the same observation on his pair

I think these shoes offer good support in the arch and are comfortable in the heel. For me, the wide width was a bit too tight across the wide part of my foot. The toe box should be a bit roomier than it is.

These shoes run truer to size than the Sketchers I ordered. The medium width is perfect for my narrow foot. The sole is not excessively cushy, it's more solid-feeling so if you are looking for a cloud-like ride these may not be the shoes for you. I love them, though and the turquoise-lime-gray color scheme is right up my alley.

I ordered medium, and love the fit on my narrow foot. I don't run but I think they'll be a good walking around shoe.
