I returned this pair because at size 10 there was too much room in the front area of the shoe. Otherwise it was well made.

Asics Gel Venture 8 are primo; super comfy, super supporting, sturdy, sharp, daily shoe - you can wear them with your tuxedo too. Get a pair.

I favor Asics Gel; the Scrams are excellent as well.

The sneakers fit perfectly, and they were the style
I asked for. One good thing about your site, you show
The width size. Most sites state standard width, which I have no clue. Zappos got them delivered fast,
Which I appreciate. Thanks

I have owned Asics Gel 6, 7, and now 8. The 6, which I loved and still have, is the best true to size fit and most comfortable. Both the 7 and 8 fit smaller than the 9.5 I ordered and are narrower. Don't know why shoes, and clothes for that matter, no longer fit true to size. I realize most of these items are made out of the U.S. anymore but what about quality control? If it were my company, I would be keeping a close eye on it rather than lose business. Looks like I find another shoe brand in the future.

Bought these as role placements for the Gel Venture 6. They feel smaller across the toes, and the laces are super thin and shorter than before. It's difficult to tie them for heel-lock, and the thin lace is challenging when hands are cold or wet.

I wear them several times a week. I wish there were more arch support so I bought some to add to the shoes.

Comfortable out of the box. Had to size up a half size for length and still a little snug in the width (4E). Arch support only fair.

This was my husband 2nd order. The 1st pair was a half size smaller fit than his normal size. This new size was perfect. I am going to order another pair for him to save for later.

A very comfortable shoe that required no break in period. I was able to wear them all day right out of the box.

Love these shoes BUT the laces are junk ... not as pictured. They are also too long.
I had to buy aftermarket laces for proper fit.

I just walked 600 kilometers on the Camino Frances in a pair of these. Not one blister! Just bought another pair for a 1,000 kilometer Camino in 2023. That distance will be the max for the tread, but should make it. Highly recommend!
