Overall, cheap shoe. Not that comfy, doesn't fit like other size 13 ASICS I own, the laces are garbage etc etc. I dunno. Just feels like ASICS took all their scraps and threw a shoe together and sold it

Left shoe is correct. The right shoe was made wrong. It feels like a half size shorter, and wrinkles up at the top when i step down on it. It was just a manufacturing mistake. Ill still order another pair when these are wore out and hopefully they'll be correct this time. Needed them for work so i just wore them anyway. Right foot is a little uncomfortable of course. Left shoe feels great. Its a nice shoe for the money i guess.

I'm a cross country coach, and I expected more from this shoe. Small per marked size and poor arch support. I love my Hokas
I'd also recommend:

These shoes are extremely lightweight and flimsy. I have worn gel-Venture shoes for years and always found them durable and long lasting. These however are a watered-down version of previous models. Even the laces are minimal and too short to properly tie. Disappointing.

Disappointedly this shoe was way to narrow in the forefoot (toe area). Somewhat confusing, since I have had the exact same model in 2019 and it fit perfectly? Had to return.

This pair lasted less than 1/2 the time my shoes usually last before the plastic forms around the ankle wore through the cloth and padding to start abrading my skin.

The shoe is short in length and tight in width as compared to my last pair GEL-VENTURE 7.
Also the way the shoe laces is different and it doesn't feel as secure on my foot. I purchased 2 pairs so I will make due with them until they are done and next time find a different Asics shoe that will suit me better. Please make more shoes for the under pronator.

they fit fine but wearing them there was something on both shoes that was rubbing against the inside and outside edges of my feet - very uncomfortable and would have cause blisters with extensive wear, definitely got worse throughout the day. also no support, just flat and hard.

Shoe sizing is not uniform. I ordered this shoe in Gray which had a satisfactory fit. I returned the Gray due to a color preference. The exchange pair arrived promptly, same size, same model, color Black. The replacement pair was more narrow, such that the shoe did not fit. Zappos has great service, and easy returns, but I ended up without a new pair of shoes. Starting over.

With neuropathy in both feet, I was hoping for a stable shoe to help with my balance issues. Because of its mud type tread, it is not stable enough for me while walking on pavement. People without my issues might love this shoe. As for me, Im giving them to someone who can appreciate them.
