Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Venture® 5

Good fit - good trail shoe.

shoe is too tight

My husband has large feet size 15 and he likes these. He says they are comfortable. I was worried he wouldn’t like these because he usually wears Columbia sneakers. He wears these around town for running errands and so far so good.

Great to wear comfortable

Absolutely love this shoe. Size 10 Width 4E. I have wide feet and always struggle to find a pair that fit great but also provide good support to the arch. I just started working out again and needed a shoe that would feel great on the treadmill as well as in the weight room. Good support, light shoe and seems to be holding up well. Just bought a second pair to keep in my suitcase for weekly travel.

I love these shoes ...they look and feel great and even better over time. this is my 3rd pair and I am ordering my fourth today!

Bought these for my partner for Xmas and he loved them! He has size 15 feet and he said they were light as air and comfortable! I was worried these would be to narrow for his large feet but he loves them. He loves the color (black and grey) and style cuz they go with everything.

Very good comfortable shoe for the price.

For the money? A "best buy"

Excellent show for the price. Feels a tad narrow but I’m sure it will loosen up with wear.

I can't believe how they make something this good, this inexpensive

Never go wrong with ASICS

Felt half size smaller and a bit too narrow , great quality though

The laces won't stay tied! I'm almost 50 years old and have to tie these shoes in double knots (like a first grader) to try to keep them tied. Even then, they sometimes still come untied. The laces are slippery and rigid (no stretch). What can be done?

These shoes were ordered for my father. He has very thick and big feet so I ordered a size 14 extra wide. Although these were comfortable he didn't like the traction very much. Walking on concrete is very difficult he says.

I use these shoes for running on trails/streets and hiking. They're supportive, comfortable, and hold up to moderate abuse. They're my first pair of "trail running" shoes, and I'm hooked. ASICS has always been reliable in terms of quality/value. When I wear these ones out, I'm going to buy another pair.

I got these in extra wide as my husband complained about how his toes were squeezed by his old shoes. They fit perfectly. Right amount of arch support for his slightly flat feet. He likes the style too.

I am very pleased with this shoe. It has had zero problems. I have worn it about 50% of the days for the past 6 months and it is doing great. I would get another one just like it.

I like this sneaked a lot. I wear them back and forth to work 5 days a week 10 blocks each way. They seem to be holding up just fine. They are mesh uppers and not good for puddles. But very comfy. I've had them for about a few months, I can't remember, I Had to size up a 1/2 and get wide. Waiting for sale so I can get more pairs.Thanks Zappos.Q.Crutchfield

Runs very narrow

Asics shoes look great and provide very good support. The toe box in this shoe however is narrower than in my older Neo Walker shoes. I don't know if that is just this model or an overall change in the newer shoes. I could try going up in size but wonder if that would bring looseness in the overall fit.

I like these sneakers a lot. one thing for me is that they seem to be 1/2 size small. And if you are on the fence about wide or not.Go wide. Other than that they are great. Also very nice customer service rep. name Lea, very helpful and fun.So first time Asics buyers half size bigger worked for me and i went with the wide. Now I have to go, my North Face "Vault" back pack should be here any minute now.Thanks Zappos. Q.

great value

Had to ship back the Run All Day Nikes...the Asics fits like a glove and my feet love it! Hats off to Zappos for their patience with this picky consumer!!

I have purchased two pairs of Kayanos in the past and for the money these feel just as good.
