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.

So I've been a faithful asics gel-venture wearer for many years, and an evangelist for the brand. I have wide feet and they have served me really well over the years. Something happened with the Gel Venture 7 and now 8, now they are absolute trash. I knew something was up when the laces were these crappy flat laces. And now after a couple months, they're literally falling apart. Don't do it, it's not worth it. Let me save you the heartbreak. Don't get these.

These trail runners are extremely flimsy, especially the front of the shoe. The twist and turn and feel like I'm wearing slippers. May be ok for basic road running but I like something beefier for a trail runner. These are way too soft and flimsy.

This is the first new sneaker I've bought in 5 years. I was excited because it looked like a good comfortable sturdy shoe. After wearing the Gel Venture 8 for two weeks, I can say this shoe has issues. No matter what socks I use with them they slide down. I have even tried tying the shoes different ways. This causes my skin to rub up against the uncomfortable siding. I was so disappointed I threw my first new pair of sneakers in 5 years into the trash.
