Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture 8

I returned these. The arch support was not comfortable. It felt like the arch support was in the wrong place.

not comfy, very flat, no support. I didn't wear the shoe very often and wouldn't recommend it.

The left shoe fit as expected. The right shoe must have been mislabeled. Holding the shoes together, it was obvious the right shoe was smaller. Am sad.

I always order a half size larger knowing that Asics usually runs small, but even though I wear a size 9 and ordered a 9.5, my toe was rubbing up against the tip. My feet swell during the day and at that point, these feel way too short. Sadly I have to return.

Loved everything about the shoe but felt it was too short. I’m a true 71/2.. have always been with ASICS. I felt these were too short so am returning them.

Great looking shoe did not feel like a true 11 like my other asics

Bought my usual size 6.5 but felt about 1/2 size too small.

I like the style the fit size is good however they are not as comfortable as I expected. I have an older pair of these shoes that are supremely comfortable so these shoes disappointed me.

I had 4 pairs of the GEL-Venture 7, so thought I would like the GEL-Venture 8, but the fit was different. It felt like the toe box was wider but shorter. The overall feel and support of the shoe is not the same. I am returning this pair.

Love the shoe, but runs small.

Fit was Okay , just no arch support , or very little. Not taking a chance on inserts making this shoe fit better.

I always buy the same size ASICS shoes and with this pair I feel like my feet are floating in them even with my standard inserts. I like how they look so I'm going to keep them and live with the extra room but I don't love them.

My foot is narrow, so I have to say that they may be true to width, since they are medium, but too wide and clunky for me. I also did not care for the sole and the upper material. Thankfully, I also bought the contend 7, and they fit like a charm.

The previous model was much better for my feet. I'm consistently a size 8, but these squeeze my big toes - the toe box is just cramped for some reason.

Size 8.5 M. Laces too slippery, won't stay tied for long. Heel good, Fore foot: too tight over the top of the foot no matter what she did to make it fit. She has high arches.

This shoe was too tight across the top of the foot. My size: 8.5 M. My arches are at the high end of normal/high arches.

I like the design of these -- the contrasting colors look good together, and the soles have nice treads. Issue is they run small, and the toebox is very narrow. I wear a size 8 in every brand, but these I'd need an 8.5 at least. It's disappointing to get a good deal, only to have to return them because they run small.

I bought these same Asics more than three years ago. They were great walking shoes and lasted a long time so I thought, I'm just gonna get the same shoes. I ordered these in an 8 (which is what my old Asics were) and when I went to try them on, they were really small. My toe hit right up against the tip of the inside of the shoe. In my old pair, I have at least a finger width gap between the tip of my toe and the tip of the shoe. I don't know if they changed up their sizing or what, but I definitely need an 8.5 (at least). Other than that, the shoes seemed comfy but I had to return them :-(

I love wearing ASICS but have had trouble with their newer styles. I wear a size 10 and my toe was touching the end. I also didn't like the "plastic" around the shoe strings. Made them look very cheap.

There is nice , supportive padding throughout the footbed, but not very much arch support at all. I had to buy an insole to put in these.

Shoe felt a size smaller and definitely did not feel wide.

Love the look of these shoes but there is not as much room in the toe - even in wide with - compared to my previous Asics Gel Cumulus 21. Sadly this style now discontinued.
