Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Venture® 5

Great fit and feel!

Simple good quality shoe for a low price

I used to go into shoe stores where they would take one look at my EEEE-EEEEEE feet, laugh, and reply "We don't have anything for those!" I can now go to Zappos and with known brands (Asics and Rockport) get shoes that fit without ridicule. Thanks!

One of the few companies that does a proper 4E running shoe. HAd to go up a size though. Adequate arch support. Something in this shoe make you strike the ball of your foot and helps in running the correct way. The style is blah, but that maybe because of the only one available in my size was blue.

Great shoe for the price. I have purchased other Asics that were more comfortable, but I have had issues with the side splitting especially on road shoes. These are made like a tank. They unfortunately feel more like one than other models also. If you don't go in with unreasonable expectations for a shoe in this price range you will be very happy.

I have weak arches and these will support them for near 6 months before wearing out. I haven't found another shoe like this and have returned many. Sadly, this item is discontinued, so I will have to search again. Perhaps I could go to a real shoe dealer and ask what replaced these. I did see Amazon has these for a few dollars less, but I think this company ships faster. I needed them sooner than later.

These are great shoes at a great price, but they definitely run small. Order half size larger.

Bought these on sale and we'll worth it. Only complaint is the insoles are thin gargbage, so plan on insoles.

Overall this is a decent shoe and good value for money. It is not extremely light, nor does it provide incredible support, but for what it costs, it definitely delivers.

Fits great, and I love the heel loop. My wife complemented the color. Feels supportive while wearing it, but the amount of cushion could be increased.

I bought these for my nine year old son. Yes he has very big feet, I am guessing he will grow to very tall some day. The only issue my son has are the laces. For some reason he struggles with these types of laces. I usually swap them out for some more traditional lace that is easier for him to tie. I love the dark color so they don't show dirt as much. He loves them because they are not boring.

Really comfortable shoe and good for heel-strikers. I always punch through the mesh on top, but worth it for me for the comfort of the sole.

For the price, these shoes can't be beat, look really good and fit true. They are a little stiff in the sole and sidewalls, its more like a hiking boot style then a walking/running shoe. Hopefully they will break in more over time.

My wife has wide feet (women's 9WW or men's 8W) and finding trainers is a relative nightmare. Her last pair of ASICS was on its last gasp so I was thrilled to find something at a reasonable price in her size here on Zappos. They might not be my favorite look but her favorite color is blue, so we meet somewhere in the middle.

Nice shoes. I wore them to work everyday. I work in tech support so I'm on my feet a lot and they provided support and comfort.

Bought them for my 14 year old son. He likes them both for style and comfort. He uses them daily and they are holding up like new after 3 weeks. He also likes the weight, not too heavy but not flimsy.

I wear custom orthotics and it can be difficult to find shoes that work with them. So far this shoe has worked very well for me. At work I am on my feet a lot, and these shoes have good cushioning for standing and walking. For width they seem typical, but are just a little longer than most 12.5 sized shoes, but not a problem for me. They have good stability for the orthotics. I would prefer color options that does not use neon colors on the shoes, which is fine for running but not what I prefer to wear to work. They are a great value.

These are comfortable and you definitely get a good deal for your money. The arch support is a bit weak for me and the shoes are a bit heavier than what I though they would be. Overall its a great deal!

Pretty good sneakers. The shoe is constructed well, and as a rule of thumb, Asics hold up for a long time. I have to use gel insoles for any shoe, and these are no exception. If you like a sneaker with a lot of padding, you'll need insoles, for sure.

I got these shoes because I took a job that required me to spend 4 days working in a warehouse before taking my admin job. They really feel great but because of my bad back I had to put in an extra padded insert. But overall they felt great during the 8 hour shifts I had to spend on my feet, the width was perfect and were try to size.

Great shoe for the casual runner at a very fair price. Fit well and very rugged.

These shoes will replace my old Gel-Venture 3's. Because the arch support in this shoewear is so poor, I always replace the stock insole with a higher quality, arch supporting, insole. I don't run, but still feel the results of insufficient arch support. If your willing to accept the extra cost of purchasing improved arch supports, you will find this footwear a good choice.

One side more narrow than the other and my feet are the same size.

These are a little tight but are very comfortable to run in. On and offroad
