The shoe felt unstable to me. I use arch support insoles and inserted them in. My ankle constantly rolled outward.

It's a comfortable shoe. Looks a lot better in the picture than in real life. Seems like more of a trail shoe than a running shoe. Not sure how the sole would hold up to a lot of hard surface miles. I bought it for casual wear so it suits my purposes.

Shoe fit well as usual with asics. Initial comfort was good. This is not a serious running shoe. Ok for short soft surface runs.

This shoe is comfortable, feels stable when running, and is light. Compared to the Asics Gel Flux it is a better running shoe for me. There is more support. I run on trails most of the time.

I'm on my 3rd pair of this particular style of Asics. I wear them daily as a regular pair of shoes (work, errands, etc) They are categorized as a trail running shoe yet the tread isn't so aggressive so as to feel weird wearing them at the grocery store. I wear the black/phantom color and they are dark enough to be considered socially acceptable attire at most places despite being a sneaker. The mesh is breathable, limits odors, and dries relatively quick if you get them wet. Finally, I have a bunion and the material is pliable enough in the toe-box that it doesn't cause pain due to excessive rubbing.

This shoe is very comfortable, as most Asics are. However, there is a problem area on the bottom of the shoe in the heel. I walk a gravel path every day and rocks and pebbles make their way into the bottom of the shoe ultimately pressing into my heel making it very uncomfortable to walk. I have to pry the rocks out only to have them refilled after walking a bit more.
This is very frustrating. I've stuffed electrical tape into the hole but that was only a temporary fix and honestly, I shouldn't have to do this with shoes that are less than 6 months old.
These shoes look great! But I'm still going to have to throw them away and order another pair in a different style.

I currently wear this shoe in grey/orange and when I saw this one available in wide - I bought it in all black. Reason? This is the most comfortable athletic shoe I have ever worn. It's like walking on pillows. I also was sent a notice that it after a few days, it became available in wide with the blue trim. Bought that one too.

Version 5 was much more comfortable. This new version 6 is huge in comparison and has almost no support inside. Bummer

I love these shoes. They are comfortable, and look cool. They provide good cushioning for my feet. I like how the bottoms of the shoes are not white, so they will look new for longer. I don’t think I’ve ever had a pair of shoes come with instructions on how to keep them clean.

I purchased these when I decided to start walking to work. Initially I kept a pair of Clarks oxfords in my desk to wear at work but now just keep the Asics on all day since I am most often behind a desk where my shoes aren't seen. Clarks, Rockport, and Born shoes are comfortable--for a dress shoe--but cannot compare to the walking on air by comparison feel of Asics. I walk to and from work every day and most days walk at lunch as well. Obviously they don't look as sharp as my polished Tilden Caps, but the blue does match our corporate color so a couple days a week my shirt and shoes match spot on. I have worn them 5-6 days a week for about 6 months and they still look and feel as new. Highly recommended
I'd also recommend:
Adidas, Born, Clarks, Rockport, Teva, Merrell

This is my third pair of Gel Ventures, overall bought because they come in Wide size which feels so comfortable for my normally E size, but these 4E are great and fit comfortably. The uppers mesh like fabric sort of fit around the feet like a sock. Other then that they look good and very durable. The overall design doesn't seem to attract as much dirt and grime as other shoes, not sure why, maybe i dont notice it as much on the darker colors, but a quick wipe with a damp paper towel and they look good as new. Walking/running on dirt has been fine, they feel secure and sole has been lasting with low wear, unlike pavement. Arch feels fine and i'm slightly under pronated and these shoes are rated for under to neutral which i think most people are. The soles i think are the heavier part of the shoe and is probably why the soles seem to be more durable then say a normal running shoe with very light rubber compounds. But dont be alarmed, they dont feel heavy to me and sometimes i just wear them all day and to work. I wish these had forefoot gel as well, but overall a good shoe for the price.

Bought these sneakers for my brother. He said they feel fantastic. They have great support, comfortable, and feel durable. I will definitely buy him another pair in a different color. Its not easy to find shoes for him that fit him so well.
