Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Venture® 5

These shoes were very comfortable right out of the box. I'm a nurse who works 10 hour shifts. I have awful feet: bilateral tendinitis, bunions, and plantar fasciitis. I wear a 9 wide but needed shoes in black, so purchased the men's size 8. I'm very happy with these. One complaint is that one shoe has begun to squeak in the heel area when I walk

Bought these size 12s for my 13 year old son who apparently has flippers for feet. Keeping shoes on him in the first place is tough since he's rather be barefoot. But looks like Asics wins the battle because he keeps them on with no complaints. Room in the toe box to breathe yet keeps a tight grasp around the heel. Highly recommend.

I bought this shoes for my son. He loves them. He is wearing them every day... comfortable even with the extra arch-sport-insert. I am planing to get a second pair :)

Very comfortable shoes - as to always be expected from Asics. Since they're a new shoe, I don't have enough miles to comment on the durability, but my first impressions are very positive.

Asics are my go-to shoes! I've tried other brands but I always come back to Asics. Whether I'm running on a paved surface, trail or everyday wear, I've found that they are good to go right out of the box. Just make sure you choose the right shoe for your feet.

This shoe is fantastic for me. And the price was good, considering comp shoes are $140 I have a size 12 4E foot and I wear custom arch supports. This shoe has good heel control and is very comfortable out of the box. So much so, I'm buying another pair.

For me was the same size like other brands. Nice fit and super confortable, for the price is the best quality shoes.

Always a great shoe. Everytime my wife talks me in to trying a new brand it's always regretful. Keep up the great craftsmanship. Buyer forever.

Great Looking Shoe. Just too short!

I have problems with my toes, so need to order a little extra larger size than normal and even some times they prove problematic. These fit great. They were so comfortable I took them on a 2 mile walk without even breaking them in. I ordered 2 pairs and am glad I did. This was my first pair of Asics and will look to this brand again.

Extremely comfortable shoe, especially footbed. Shoes used for biking, tennis and all around sports! Purchased this shoe for my husband who is hard to fit because he has such a wide foot. This ASICS shoe fits the bill and this is his 3rd pair! Has enjoyed 3 different colors, but the same style. Past brands worn have been Nike and New Balance, these by far are the most comfortable. Wish that ASICS would produce a "Tennis" shoe that fit well and was wide...

Fits perfect. Look good. This is my second pair of Ventures and my 3rd pair of Asics in a row. I have found my everyday shoe brand

Great price. Fit to size. Have worn them for work 2 weeks so far and are plenty comfy when on my feet for 12 hours.

I have work Asics (Originally Tiger) for over 50 years. The Venture is possible the best value shoe they produce.

I wouldn't wear these shoes for running all the time but they are a great everyday tennis shoe. The wide fits my foot very well. The style is not too flashy, just what I need for work.

Got these for my son, age 13, for track season. He is doing middle distance and these shoes are petfect for mileage days (2-5 miles) on the road and sprint days on the track. Because he is growing so fast, I appreciate the value. Can't see buying more expensive running shoes which he will outgrow/wear out in 6 months. Bonus: He likes the color...??

This shoe is good for plantar and hill spurs

Purchased these sneakers for my father who absolutely loved them. My father stated they fit well and he like the colors (Silver/Light Grey and Royal Blue)as it is versatile. Thanks Zappos.

Great shoe. Fits great. Enough support but light weight. For a low cost running shoe. Perfect.

This is what a shoe should feel like! Straight out of the box this shoe felt great! Buying another color too!

The shoe size is perfect for wide feet. Shoe is very comfortable while running.

Super Comfortable and easy to wear

I currently have 5 other pairs of Asics a few Kayano and Sendai and having paid a lot more for those I was a little skeptical about this pair. I am very pleased so far having got these at such a great price. Time will tell how they hold up but so far I think they are great for the money.

Fits and feels great. I've only walked about 5 miles so far, but they've been very comfortable. My one complaint is that the traction doesn't work well on wet city streets and in particular wet metal.

I ordered 4e wide perfect fit very well made my second pair of this same shoe.
