I’m usually a size 8.5 but the 9 fits perfect. This is my 6th pair of ASICS. Love them.

Very comfortable. True to size and width (I wear an 11.5M). I use these at the gym for aerobic and strength training 4 days/week. I usually replace the factory insole with a better one, but this insole is pretty good. I will wait a while before I replace it this time.

Beautiful navy, aqua, lavender, silver colored. Felt cushy just trying them on! My feet seemed to mold into the insoles after just a few days and felt even better than the 1st try on. I wear them for 8 hour days of work and my feet aren’t sore at all. I wore the Venture 5 for 2yrs; these are better!

My 12yr old daughter loves these sneakers! With the extemely limited selection of wide options, it's difficult some school years to find sneakers that she really likes. She used to wear New Balance in the past exclusively, but has worn Asics these past few years. I'm partial to Asics since I usually need a 4E and they typically have a model that fits & looks great.
As far as coloring, the "black/silver" is FAR from black and/or silver anywhere on the sneaker. Color blind people should surely not be naming color based products. They are as they look in the pictures thankfully - a navy blue base with hints of purple and light aqua.

I have a lot of problems with my feet and these were great. I do a lot of walking and had no problems right from the start. Would buy these again.

Fit like a glove on first wearing. Feels like a memory foam insole.
Only complaint would be the flimsy shoelaces and how they lace which has changed from the previous Venture 6 version
I have bought ASICS brand for over 10 years including running, trail running and cross training shoes and have never been disappointed except for the change in laces over the years.
Would still recommend but suggest to buy better laces

I purchased these shoes to do a 10k trail run. I needed a little extra width so I purchase a wide and they are perfect. I usually wear superfeet in my athletic shoes and have not felt the need for those in these shoes. I took them out a couple of times and they are very stable and provide great trail traction. And I love the way they look!

FINALLY! These shoes are wonderful! Years ago I was madly in love with Asics sneakers. I have wide feet and many shoes cause me to pronate. Asics were the only ones that fit. Then for years, every new pair of Asics I tried were deeply flawed! I have been wearing some very old, stinky Asics to work out in because all the new ones I tried were horrible. THESE SHOES ARE AWESOME! The only thing is, the sizes change every year. I used to get 9.5W, but this time I had to go down to 9W because 9.5 was longer this year and the ankle whole was wider. So I am a bit challenged by the fact that ASICS seems to change their dimensions every year. But now that I found some that fit I will be ordering several pairs!

I bought these shoes to train for a trail run and they were comfortable immediately. Loved the sole for all the surfaces I was on. AND they're super cute!

ASICS is one of the few shoe companies that makes a 5W. I've worn this brand before and bought this style because of the good reviews and the color combination. They also fit my new custom orthotic inserts perfectly. They are a little chunky looking, but overall I am very happy with them.

Liked these shoes. The fit is good for my slightly wide feet. They are comfortable and seem to have enough support. I am using them at the gym, not for running though. The only thing I'd like to see done differently is a patch of leather over the area where the big toe is. Mine big toe sticks up some and eventually will wear a hole in the mesh. Otherwise these are a fine shoe for the price.

These Asics are very comfortable and stylish. The wide width was tru to size and they look very good with jeans.

These fit true to size for me. I ordered the wide width and had plenty of room for thicker socks. Good heel support and very comfortable. A nice shoe for the price.

This is the first time I tried Asics and I found them to be very comfortable. The wide width fit very well and the style was graet..

I'm VERY picky about my trail running shoes - got these earlier this week, used them yesterday and today on mountain trails - and I'm back to buy a few more pair! I have a fairly narrow foot - the toe box fits well for me, I don't have to "cinch" them so tight that it hurts the top of my foot. I'm also a forefoot striker - and these shoes felt great! I've had trail running shoes from Asics, Brooks, Solomon, New Balance and Saucony - and tend to favor the Asics.

The shoes are very cute. I ordered them in a wide width but they were still tight. I returned them because they were too tight to be comfortable for me.

I was skeptical to try these, having gone through so many different shoes to find one comfortable enough to fit my size 11 wide feet. But these have been wonderful through my walking/exercise class. If they keep feeling so great, I may have to order them in another color.
