The LOUDEST shoes I've ever purchased! Every step I takes sounds like the shoes are filled with Water. Beyond annoying and embarrassing. I truly am frustrated from feeling like I wasted my money.

Fit and size were very good, I like the wide toe box. Not all 15EEEE's fit me properly. This particular model, Gel Venture 8's filled the bill (is there any such thing as age induced wider feet??!?). I was not happy with receiving a $20 off coupon for my next purchase that expired the day after these ones arrived. I did not read the fine print soon enough-I was going to purchase another pair-I did not, Hint, hint)

9.5 my toes hit the front of the shoe and I could feel it pushing in the toes so I got 10.5 and there is an inch and a half in front of my toes. I have been wearing the same size Asics for 10 years+ and I have never had any issues until this new model.

I am a huge of Asics. I owned older versions of these shoes and loved them, but these were uncomfortable. Their new design caused a uncomfortable rubbing on the outside of my feet. I was extremely sad, because I usually love this model of shoe.

My husband has been wearing the Venture 6 for years. When it came time to buy new ones, I read the Venture 7 did not meet expectations, so went with the 8. My husband is very happy with the fit, support, and cushion of the Venture 8.

Asics is my go to purchase for both of my sons. Very comfortable and true to size. Reasonable price for the quality of the shoe compared to other brands that are usually overpriced. These hold up better than the Air Jordans I used to buy. Go figure!

I wore these shoes all summer and loved them till I didn't. The last month or so I can't wear them anymore. My hips get all sore and stiff. I belive it is from how the insole crushed over time.

I've been wearing ASICS GELs for several years now. This one felt great right out of the box which is what I've become used to with ASICS. Great value in this shoe that I wear daily for 3-5 miles for brisk walks with my dogs. The only negative I have found is the shoe laces are much too thin and get knotted too easily. I found inexpensive replacements, Delele on Amazon, that work great.

These fit well and are true to width. They feel very light on the foot. In fact they have brought back my ability to dance, not really but they are quite comfortable and light.

I have been a Nike guy since the early 80's and after trying these out....WOW! I'm hooked. These shoes are so comfortable and good looking. Exactly what I'm looking for in shoes.

I thought that the extra wide shoe would have too much room but it is more comfortable than my normal pair of gel venture 8's. I wish they sold the all black pair in normal width so they aren't so bulky looking but because they are all black, you can barely notice. They are a good work shoe if you are outdoors a bunch or need a shoe to run in. Not to mention, if you want more height, these shoes will give you a little boost. Ever since I got my first pair of gel ventures back in 2014, I haven't looked back. I probably buy a new pair of gel ventures every year. This is my second pair this year though. Super comfortable, ready for anything.

I ordered French Blue/Pure Silver. Shoes are a completely different color than picture on zappo's website. They are a dark navy blue, almost black. Not the color I was expecting at all. I returned them. Also, if I had kept them I would have had to return for a size 11, I usually wear a 10.5, so they run a bit small, at least for my foot. Thanks to zappo's for good return policy.

They are smaller than my last pair. I don't have time to send them back and reorder larger. Need a new pair this week so they will have to be tight until I hope they break in a little.

Very light weight and good tread. So far very good both on and off pavement.

I have for years worn almost exclusively New Balance sneakers due to my wide feet(4E).And they always fit great.Recently purchased a different brand which were too tight and needed another pair of sneakers.This time I tried this ASICS Gel8 and they are great.Fit just like New Balance.Really comfortable sneakers and the look is good too.Will definitely reorder another pair.

Even after tightening the laces, the shoe itself does not grip well. The overall feeling is very meh.
