Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture 8

Beautiful shoes; not comfortable, the back is too high up and causes major pain. Would not recommend.

Shoe was to short and to narrow with my socks

I wear an 8.5, but these shoes feel too short in length.

Size feel small tight on my foot

For Asics, this one let me down. There is NO padding or arch support in this shoe so it wasn't comfortable at all. It went right back in the box to return.

Had to return these. I have purchased Asics Gel Ventures in the past, but the toe box on these felt more narrow and very uncomfortable.

Really cute, love the color. I thought I really liked these. They were pretty comfy and easy to wear but they just felt a little big at first, I thought I just needed to break them in but the longer I wore them the bigger and wider they felt. Even the tops were digging into my ankle bones and I just didn't realize it bc I was so happy to find a bright colored cushy pair of shoes.

Tight fit first time ASICS has been too small for me. Return. In the past these shoes have fit well but easily get holes in the toe area. I’m going to try a new style and hope for better results.

These did not have the cushion comfort as described. The soles sound like old hard-like rubber when walking. My short toe nails would catch on the outer band on the toe cage. The are the correct size and fit. I am returning for something more cushioning for joints.

Two years ago I bought my first pair of Ventures and loved them from day one. This year I replaced them as they were breaking down from wear. No problem until I wore my new pair. Why did you change the laces? The new pair are thin, flimsy and come untied or loosen up everytime I wear them. The old laces were stylish, hefty, woven and stayed in place. I have tried tightening the new ones only to find they are uncomfortable. Please go back to the reliables that you used to provide. My solution was to replace my new laces with the old ones. Colorwise they look funny, but the comfort won out.

Color did not work for me. Otherwise good product.

I would like to return these or exchange - the material on the top of shoe sifts dirt onto my socks….it’s been very dry and dusty but still shouldn’t happen.

Felt like my heels were higher than I wanted and that my toes were being pushed into the front of the toe box. Also felt like I was getting blisters on the balls of my feet.

This is my 3rd Asics Gel-venture. I always liked this model but for some reason this one is smaller than normal size. (I wear 7-7.5 and ordered 7.5). I returned it and got 8. And yet it feels tight. And the design makes the feet to slide to the front.

To tight across toes and front of foot. Narrow

I thought these were cheaply made. Nice looking but not as comfortable as all the other I have from them.

I have theses same ASIC gels in 11.5 in another color. I ordered these in that size and had to exchange for a size 12. There is hardly any difference. I am very disappointed in this company now. I have been wearing this brand for years but probably won’t trust their sizing again.

felt very tight sadly most uncomfortable sneakers i have tried

I got these to replace the Gel-Venture 7, and they fit the same as the previous model. I like the Gel-Venture for casual hiking, when boots aren't necessary. Unfortunately, when I was lacing these up the first time, one of the fabric loops that the laces go through just popped open. The stitching wasn't done well. I wasn't crazy about the gray and ginger-peach color combo in person, either. Luckily, Zappos makes returns easy and free.

The inside near the toe had a seam that rubbed the toes, very uncomfortable.
