Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture 8

These run small. I normally wear an ASICS size 8. I ordered these in an 8 and 8.5. Both too small.

The color and look were great. Unfortunately, when worn for a full day, they made my feet and back ache. They are really comfortable when first trying in, but after 8 hours (not all spent standing or walking)

Cute shoes but too small. I wear an 8 in Asics and these are too short and narrow. I will be sending them back. I recommend ordering at least a half size larger if not a full size. Luckily, Zappos has a good return policy.

The picture does not represent the actual colors. The orange parts (and I love the color orange) are actually a neon pinky-orange that will probably glow in the dark. Not what I was hoping for.

I really liked these sneaked, super cute and comfy. I liked them so much I bought a second pair. However, not very well made. I wore them maybe 4 times when a hole in the top mesh section started to appear and then run, making it a very visible hole. I do not recommend these if you are looking for durability. ??

i’ve been wearing the same asics size across different styles for years. the shoes however are very tight and not true to size. uncomfortable for walking

Thought I was reliably a 7 1/2 but this shoe was short. Toes were snub against the front just standing, and would be worse on trails. Shoes are going back.

The length of these is short. I wear an 8 in all of my shoes and I have several pairs of Asics, also in size 8. These fit more like a 7.5 and my toes feel like they are crammed in there and actually will start going numb after a while. While I like the looks of them, the comfort leaves a lot to be desired. If you order these, I highly recommend you go up a 1/2 size.

I did not like these from the moment I tried them on. They felt too small, and like my toes were too far forward in them, but I had some room behind my heel. Not comfortable for my foot bed, either. I’m returning.

it looks like big but not as big, also usa size is not same as it is europe size

These are pretty shoes but very uncomfortable. I hate them and they hurt my feet/legs when I walk.

nothing to comment on here since I returned them

I love ASICS and only wear ASICS. But these were obviously the very cheaply made, base level ASICS… they are inexpensive for a reason. Poor support and not a good shoe for any level of fitness. Not even an acceptable walking shoe in my opinion.

Since I own numerous pairs of Asics, I thought I could make these work, but they were just too small. After trying to wear them a few days, I gave them to a friend who wears a size smaller then me. They were perfect for her.

These look OK (cute colors), were a terrible disappointment to try on, after 2 years of wearing the ASICS GEL-Excite 8, which I adore. Unlike the Gel-Excite 8's, which feel like walking on a cloud (tons of cushion and support), these felt like they didn't even have insoles, just hard, scratchy inner fabric and stiff uppers, vs. the soft fabric uppers of the G-E8's. So uncomfortable! Couldn't even wear them for a walk around the house, they felt so awful just stepping into them. I will be returning these and hopefully going back to the ones I love.

Ordered med and wide in a half size larger than my 3 pairs of now worn out ASICS. They were too small and narrow and there was no difference in fit between medium and wide width. I’ve loved this brand in the past and am disappointed to have to send both pairs back.

Least favorite Asics I have owned. It has a very thin sole and isn't very comfortable. I am disappointed because I am a huge Asics fan. Its a pretty shoe, just not very comfortable.

These shoes wore down so quickly for me. I was completely unable to wear them after just 6 weeks — obviously *just* longer than the 30 day return window.

They are cut small. My children destroyed the box when I was trying them on so I have been sucking it up and wearing them when I have minimal walking with the squished toes

Even though another Asics sneaker fit perfectly, this style was too narrow.

The cushion around the heel pushes my foot forward making the shoe, even though a half size bigger, was too small.

This is a beautiful sneaker, but the toe area was a little snug. i sizer twelve would have been perfect.
