I love these. They look sleek and they're super comfortable to run in.

Very Poor Quality Compared to Venture 5-
Incredible how the quality goes down!
Flimsier and less support all around then Venture 5

Can't go wrong with these, I absolutely won't buy another shoe I'm a skilled tradesman and got tired of burning through boots in 6-8 months. I kid you not, these shoes hold up better, lighter on the feet and provide all the support you could need. Think you work your shoes harder? Try the ASICS challenge and become a lifelong customer!!!

This is the perfect budget friendly everyday shoe. I am a 21 year old dude that wanted a budget friendly yet a capable shoe. This shoe is good for trails with all types of terrains. I have tested it many times and it survives perfectly every time. I have it in all black and most likely will buy the mid version of the shoe to compliment this shoe and for ankle support

The fit was just right. I used these shoes to hike 200 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail (25 miles each day) and then wore them around Europe for 6 weeks followed by back home running and hiking for another 3 months and still going strong.

Nice but not as sturdy as older pair. Thinner material.

The only shoes I've been able to wear all day without for pain, out of the box. I have flat feet, and have several pairs now because they are so much more comfortable for my feet than any other shoe.

This is my 4th pair of Asics in similar style as they have updated them over a period of time. The shoes fit my feet very nicely and I am pleased with them overall.

Good shoe for the price. Good gripping soles without too much. Last a good amount of time before my feet are tired

Good comfort and support. The material is quality. These shoes are heavier than most trail runners but have awesome grip and sole.

The shoes are nice, but I have high arches and they don't help support my feet

There a good shoe for the money. Nice padding around the ankle Laces are a little flimsy. I had another trail running shoe from Asics but wore them out they did bug my ankles because there was no padding around the ankle these have that but I wore them till they needed replacement. These two are the first pairs that I have deviated from the Kayano 7 and 8 almost 30 years ago to the 27's most recently and I think I'm going back to the Kayano 28 after the holidays. Overall there a good shoe for what I paid for them but I prefer the Kayano's but they are much pricier.

I was so excited for a 4E width shoe that was not either white,black, or grey. Sadly, these do not fit like a wide shoe at all so instead of daily wear they are just for short wears. The soles are very soft though

Just what I wanted, at a fantastic price. Long wearing too! I had tried Skechers with the Memory Foam. I felt unstable in them. I’m sticking with Ascis from now on!

Company stood behind their product and replaced the shoes with a new pair after I showed them the delaminating problem of my 8 month old shoes.

12 may be or 11.5 Wide would have been better for this model. I hope they will stretch a bit . Nevertheless they are great shoes.
