Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture 8

Overall, the fit was good

Nice walking shoes. Looks great too.

These are good walking around shoes, however, I personally would not use them for serious hiking or off road as the lugs don't have much grip. I have owned several pairs of these and they are comfortable and add stability. I have one negative comment and it is a big one - they do not breathe at all. Living in a hot and humid climate, this is an issue if wearing them even for just a few hours (both inside and outside). I sometimes have to take them off for my feet to breathe. Even in winter, long walks and long wear results in very hot and sweaty feet. If you can tolerate that or find a way around it, the shoe is well-constructed and stable. I probably will not buy them again. As always, I appreciate the quality service from Zappos, particularly for VIP customers.

Shoes are comfortable and look good. Would highly recommend this brand.

Shoes feel great. Break in not needed.

These are great for walking or standing for long hours. I have wide feet and like to spread my toes and these shoes fit me perfectly.

I have a pair of the Gel - 7s and they are wider up front. The Gel -8s pushed the wider part of the top box back which made it narrower up front and pushed my toes together (see attached widths). Had to return. Maybe it was just this shoe? Other shoe felt fine. Would like to try another pair of same but will do some research on other shoes

Happy with the purchase for my son

Have another pair of similar Aisics, so choosing the correct size was a breeze. The shoes are very cushiony and comfortable. My feet feel like they're bouncing a little when walking over hard services, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. My other Aisics have held up well over the year + I've had them and I expect these to be the same. Can't say the same for a number of New Balances I've owned. The only complaint I have are the laces: they are too thin and too long.

I've worn this shoe off and on for nearly a year now, and as much as they seem to be the right size, they always seem to be smaller the longer I wear them during the day. I know that sounds weird, but they start off feeling ok, but after several hours just seem smaller. Also the footbed is rather rather uncomfortable. I probably will not by ASICS again, and definitely not these.

This is perfect shoe

Shoe runs half to full size small.

I really like this shoe. It’s supportive and comfortable. Being a gel time I had expected the foot bed to be more cushioned, but it’s good.

I ordered 8.5 4E. The size indicated on the box is 8.5 4E but inside the shoe is 8.5 regular.

Shoes look great! No problems.

everything was perfect

These are awesome Asics well made and good fit.

Great shoe and I have repeated this style for many years. A go to in my book.

This is my third pair of Asics Gel Venture. I will continue to buy them.
