Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Venture® 5

These are wonderful shoes. They have a nice tread and are comfortable. I bought them for walking and golfing and they're great for both. I ordered a half size smaller due to other reviewers' comments and they fit perfectly. Plus, they're really cute!

These shoes were immediately comfortable when I put them on. They look exactly as they do in the picture. We will see how long they last--that is the problem I have had with some other brands--they fall apart after a few months. So I am hoping for longer out of these.

These shoes are awesome! I overpaid for a pair of 2000s about 2 years ago that are sporting a new hole. I decided to buy these to save some cash. I'm glad I did! They were a bit stiff when I received them, but they were pretty comfortable. So far so good in my shoe world. I would recommend these shoes if you're looking to get a good pair for a reasonable price.

Shipping was fast and free! Ordered came exactly as described. I've only worn the shoes for 1 week, but very comfortable so far! Glad I took other reviews advice and got a 1/2 size bigger than normal, as they do run a bit small. Overall great quality for the price!

I bought these in another color at a department store and I have worn them every single day since without issue so I thought I'd buy a second pair. I'm not sure if my feet have really changed that much since the last pair but these seem really narrow. I haven't worn them yet, hoping I can wear them around the house to see if anything changes. Other than that I love these, and would definitely recommend them!

Good bargain, we'll see how long they hold up.

Wonderful support and comfortable feel for moderate exercise and everyday wear. Good value but not the most attractive shoe. Makes my feet look significantly bigger than they are.

These shoes are comfortable and look good. They felt pretty supportive right out of the box, but I replaced the insoles with my orthotics just because my plantar faciitis has flared up recently (also why I purchased these shoes). The right shoe takes a little extra attention when tying because it can feel a little too tight across the top of my foot, but I think that must be an issue with my foot and/or orthotic. On days when we are allowed to wear sneakers/athletic shoes to work (elementary school) my feet, knees, and back are virtually pain-free. I give full credit for that to the shoes themselves, not my orthotics, because I can put the othotics in other shoes but not get the same pain relief. I can't wait to wear these shoes out on the trails. One word of caution - they can be slippery on wet floors.

This shoes were super cute and colorful but unfortunately they were too tight on my foot. I really love Asics shoes and Zappos is the best company for ordering online.

This shoe is so cute. I am sad to be returning it. It seems a little small when I usually order 8.5 there is a bit of room so my toes do not feel smooshed. I wore them in the house for 30 minutes and my right bunion hurt for 2 days after taking them off. I like the thickness of the bed (makes you a little taller) and great arch support! Sad to return these.

I've been wearing Asics for awhile for running and I really love this style. There is a lot of support and cushion but the shoe is not heavy.

These shoes are so cute and comfortable. They are a little more narrow than I am used to, but when you loosen the laces, they work great. Super cute and comfy shoes. I bought them for everyday wear.

Wide shoe with good support. You'll need to give your feet time to adjust to the arch. I was in pain the first few times I wore them.

This shoes felt comfortable, but it seemed a little wide in the foot bed, usually that is good for me, but this shoes had just too much room there

I wasn't sure about these at first, as they seemed stiff and not as comfortable as my old pair. After a few days, though, they have become quite comfy.

I thought this shoe might be good for walking, but it's very stiff. That's probably a plus for trail running, but I'm used to memory foam sneakers - ha! Regardless, there's something strange about the arch support: it trails off into a ridge that runs alongside the heel. Maybe that's for pronation? I found it uncomfortable. This is a fine shoe, but it's not the casual walker I need.

I needed a more sturdy pair of shoes for the rocky trails I run on. I bought a half-size bigger than I usually wear so there was room for some gel inserts. The shoes are a little heavier than I would like, but they definitely do the job.

My favorite shoe for work, I'm on my feet all day. I even bought a pair for running, but needs more support, so I bought a half size bigger and used insoles.

Good shoe, stylish and comfortable

Great looking and feel really comfortable.

I have only worn the shoes for a short while but so far they're working out fine. I had to switch out the laces, though, because they tend to loosen up.

I've worn Asics for years and wanted another pair to replace the old ones. I always order up 1/2 size on this type of shoe. Usually I wear a 7, but ordered 7.5. The toe box felt snug and the end of my left toe was right at the end of the toe box. I loosened the laces, and the shoe felt ok, but I needed a little more room in the toe box. I ordered a M width and am wondering if I should order a W, which I have never had to order. The style is very nice. Finally a shoe that doesn't have a white side sole...I don't get the white side soles which will show dirt quickly. I ordered the black/aqua/coral color....which I love. Now to decide if I should get a W or go to a different style.

These shoes are cool and really comfortable! I had to exchange for half size larger, super easy.

I started wearing asics at work because I'm on my feet on cement floors for anywhere from 6 to 10 hours a day, asics are the only brand I have found that give me the comfort and support I need to get through them days! The gel series are the best I have found yet! Thank you Zappos for have my favorite shoe and for have such a great variety of styles and. Colors!

Tight in the toe area. Very nice looking well built shoe. Bought to wear for work, but they hurt my toes, just wearing them around the house a few hours to try and break them in.
