Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture 8

The shoes felt shorter than I expected. Had they been a half-size longer, I might have met them.

These were so small in length and width

Always wear a 7 1/2…but these too short. Exchanged for an 8 and almost feels too big. Trying them now with a heavier sock.

I bought two pairs of Gel-Venture 8, one for using at my indoor gym and one for jogging at the local park. The first pair fit perfectly, and I made the mistake of assuming the second pair would fit the same way. Bad assumption! The second pair (black/purple/white) fits at least a half size smaller. Wish I hadn't recycled the boxes before making sure both pairs fit well.

Shoes fit perfect. I ordered this specific brand/type because I have pair just like them that are gel and have great feel for walking in hard surfaces. This pair seems to be missing some support, compared to my prior pair, but overall still a decent shoe.

I always, always wear size 8, even in previous versions of Asics Gel (venture 7) but these were very short and my toes were pushed up against the front of the sneaker when walking. Otherwise, very comfortable and supportive.

I have wide feet I think next time I need to buy Aiscis in wide my feet were busting at the seems. Too bad because my last pair was awesome but these felt so cheap like I am stepping on an old mattress after being on them for a while or playing tennis in them like I did. Prob better for walking shorter distances or Standing at soccer field

They fit ok. They were narrower than other Asics I've worn. They were uncomfortable to make it through the day in. They started out fine, shortly after my feet started to hurt and then my lower legs. I tried to wear them a second time think maybe the first time my socks were to thin. Nope pain shortly after putting them on. I have never had shoes hurt my feet or legs like that before. Returned them for a different pair of sneakers. It's a shame because they are so pretty but they are painful. Maybe if they made them a size or half size larger it would make a difference but I bought the largest size they make.

Usually wear a 9.5 but these felt smaller. Both my great toes feel too snug at the tip of the shoe.

Shoes arrived with dirt all on the bottom of the shoes. It was obvious they had been worn outside in dirt. I ordered new shoes not previously worn shoes. Very disappointed.

These are definitely not true to size. They're too big and I developed pretty bad blisters on the first walk I took them on. They look ok, but are useless as a sneaker for me.

outsourced to china vibes... sizing off... felt like a knock off

Runs very small, and very narrow, hard to get on

I ordered a size up from my normal size. They were still too narrow in the toe box and I don't have a wide foot. After a few minutes wearing them around the house, my right foot was numb and cramping. I've been wearing Asics for decades.

Too short/small. I couldn't even get away with thin socks. My toe was jammed in, hitting the shoe tip. No ruler on the site to compare measurements with. Sent them back.

These shoes were too wide. Also, my heel slipped while walking. Not a good fit for me.

These received 3stars because the left shoe squeaks when I walk. Annoying. I buy ASICS all the time and this is the first disappointment. Eil

Footbed feels like concrete - not enough cushion for me

Runs bigger size then 8 1/2 Not comfortable and had to return.

I really liked the shoes but the 7 1/2 was too small and the 8 was too large...strange.

I’m normally a size 6 in shoes but after reading reviews I ordered a 6.5 and these shoes still feel too small.
