The fit is fine. I liked my previous Asics better than this pair

I have been a 7.5 in Asics for ever but these are my first purchase that are too small. I will have to try an 8.

Unfortunately I needed 91/2W for right foot and 9W for left foot. So I had to return both pairs and will keep on looming. Wish there was a program you accommodate two different sizes. Love Zappos!

Great look! However, runs really wide for me in a size 8.

Awesome fit! Finding that I need more arch support than what these shoes have. That's why only a 4 .

Just a tad too short. Not as crazy about style as I thought when ordering.

For years I've worn Asics Gels in 9.5. In this shoe, I needed at 10.

I have worn Asics for ten years. They have now changed their sizing. Order up a half size.

I have been wearing Asics for years. Been very happy with them until recently. I had to send back the Gel Nimbus 23. They were, along with other Asics are becoming more narrow. Also difficult to get my orthotics in. I usually wear a 12, and went to a 12 1/2 but that didn't help. So I tried the Gel Venture 8 in a 12D and so it seems ok. Very disappointed with Asics as I love their great colors. Don't know if I will try an Asics again...to narrow!!!

I tried a Brooks and so far so good

Unfortunately, the shoes were too small. I always wear a size 8, sometimes 7.5 but I have never bought an 8.5. Also, they lacked good insoles.

Love these for hiking. The Gel Venture has the support and is just light enough to hike in.

I have a narrow foot and Asics usually fit me well. Unfortunately, this VERY cute pair did not....toe box too wide and when I tried to cinch in for my foot, due to material bunched up in a weird way. Even the heel was a little loose but more easily addressed with a thicker sock than the toe box. Bummed as otherwise love these

I got a .5 size larger than my street shoe and it still feels a little tight in the toe area. These are for walking. I typically wear a shoe out at the big toe first....

Nice shoe but if you are a wide, this may not be wide enough. The tongue isn't wide enough either. Disappointed as I like the brand.

Ordered my normal 6.5 size I wear in walking/trail hiking shoes. These were too small and, when lined up with my older size 6's, were even smaller than those! Will return and order size 7.

Shoes are great but they do run a little short so I had to send back. I recommend ordering a half size up.

Love my new shoes and have received many compliments. Only complaint is the arch isn't as high as I would like.

I never used to wear anything but asics, they were always my go to shoe for comfort. I bought 2 pairs on my last order and they unfortunately both are uncomfortable. This one already seems to feel like my last pair did when i got rid of them a year in.... and ive only had them a few weeks. Very disappointed & may have to find a different brand

I purchased 2 Gel-Venture 8 shoes: one pair fit perfectly and the other pair was tight... my left toe was up against the tip of the shoe. I purchased these shoes without trying them on ahead of time. They were recommended for high arches.
