Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Venture® 5

I recently started running more and need a shoe that was not only comfortable but cute and there were perfect. They are support comfortable with great arch support. I just ran a 5K in these and my feet felt great afterwards.

Love these shoes. I have somewhat narrow foot and these shoes fit perfect, especially the heel! Great price and style. I highly recommend!

These are really comfortable & fit great. I think they will be a great walking shoe with good arch support.

These shoes felt very comfortable and fit my feet well in regard to toe room and they felt firm enough for my arthritic feet. My orthotics fit well in the shoe. I have not worn them on the trail yet but I will be putting them to the ultimate test shortly when I go on vacation. Love the color combo!

Really nice looking shoe, wish I could keep them, just not wide enough on my foot with the bunion. Looks very well made. The Rykas I ordered at the same time fit like they were made for my foot and they are both 8W.

Comfortable right out of the box! I am between sizes 8.5 and 9 with a narrow foot. Based on reviews, I ordered a 9. Maybe slightly big, but I think 8.5 would have been too small. Happy with this fit. Great price, stylish shoe, serves its purpose.

I found these shoes narrow and smaller than expected.

Got the silver turquoise ones at a great sale price for my now sized 10 wide feet. I will use them for mixed fitness activities. I have a bone spur on my right heel, a falling arch, and possible plantar fasciitis. The toe box is roomy, the heel fits my narrower heel, and there is support for my arches. These will do and I will look to Asics Gel in future for fitness shoe needs.

Great arch support in these! I have plantars fasciitis, so this is so important --plus there's the added benefit of these being so darn cute!

Like all Asics I have had over the years, these fit me like they were 'custom' fit for me. They appear to be excellent quality, and I love the color I chose.

I bought a size 11.5 and they fit like a size 11. I got the gray with blue stripe, which is pretty cute. I would recommen these for anyone looking for an all around tennis shoe.

Love these shoes. Great fit and very comfortable. I need a wider shoe and these are just right. They have been comfortable from the first day and I do a fair amount of walking. I'll probably order another pair in the near future, since these have worked out so well.

Very comfortable shoes! I got wide because of my bunions!

Love these! Super comfortable and lightweight. Great traction.

Ultra comfy from day 1!

Nice looking and the price is easy too. Comfortable, light and there were no pressure points on my foot or toes. My 3rd pair and I will be buying more.

Love these shoes! My commute to work is just under 8 miles, so I need a shoe that can hold up to the mileage. Just got these and took them out for their virgin commute and felt great. The toebox is nice and wide so I don't feel my toes are crunched up in there. I do use a Powerstep Insole for arch support, but otherwise am super pleased with these shoes!

These shoes have great cushioning and support!

Very comfortable. Decent arch support!

Been wearing ASICS for years and these are another good pair!

Colors are bright and look great. The gel is very comfortable.

Nice shoe but toe box slightly smaller than I need

I bought these as an intro-to-running (on the street) shoe, as I'm just starting out. I usually wear either 6 or 6.5, but after reading some other reviews I opted for 6.5. Glad I did, because they fit like a glove. Definitely order at least a half size up. My trial run with these initially had my feet aching during the run, but that may have been due to my running stance not being up to par yet. Plus I wear flat shoes for the majority of the time, so I had to get used to the arches in these. After that first run though, my feet feel fine now. The laces are the perfect length, not too long and they are not "floppy." Overall I think these are a great affordable option for anyone starting out.

This is my first pair of Asics. They were a little stiff in the beginning, but have turned out to be good shoes. Very supportive. Good price!

Great durable shoe. Asics concave heel on the sole of the shoe is perfect for power walking on asphalt. I can break down a pair of Sketchers in 3 months. The price on this shoe is wonderful.
