Women's 9.5 Wide is not actually wide at all. A 9.5 Wide should be about the same as 10 Regular. They are narrower than a 10 Regular of the same shoe. I have to return them. I either have to find and go to a local retailer or pay a restocking fee, even thought they are NOT the right size.

Wide width was very constrictive in the toe area. Had to send them back

The shoe was not the correct size, it says the correct size on the shoe, women's size 11, but it doesn't even fit my son who wears a size 7 in boys. Not sure what happen.

I bought this walking shoes abt a year ago. They were very comfortable and Iw as happy with the purchase. However after a year the mesh started to come off the edges and leaving holes. This is very disappointing given the amount I paid for, lasting only a year.
I wouldn't buy them again.
2 of my friends in Gemany had bought the same shoes and had the same issue.

Arch support is very important, this shoe has almost no support.

I have a narrow foot and I buy a 1/2 size larger always, for toe room. When I read the other reviews and saw that most people said they ran narrow and tight, I figured I'd be ok. They are extremely narrow and they run a whole size smaller in the length for me. I had to return them, and look for another Asics shoe.

This clearance product was clearly labeled with the wrong size. I have bought this exact item before and size 9 fit fine. This item was a size 8 or smaller. I could not return because a clearance item. So I gave shoes to charity.

Returning because these are not built like the last 8 or 9 pairs of asics I’ve used over the years. Pinched my pinky toes and no cushion

This was terrible, no arch support, much narrower than marked (Medium width) and the 8.5 size felt like a 7.

I have worn these shoes for many years. This pair is too narrow and is an uncomfortable fit. It was not obvious until I was well into a longer walk

I purchased the Venture asics after wearing asics gel kayano for years for running. I was looking for a more affordable, versatile sneaker that would transition well from pavement to trail, primarily for walking. The tread on the venture style is the only positive thing about this shoe. The fit is terrible. Sizing is consistent with the gel Kayano, but the Venture has a lot of padding with absolutely no structure to it. You couldn't pay me to wear these.

I always wear a size 8 with this same sneaker in the past (I am a true 7.5) This size 8 was crunching my toes, but what made it really uncomfortable was the fact that the inner material has no give, it is hard and stiff. My older pair (exact same make and size) is softer inside and flexible.

I usually wear an 8.5D, but the 9D was both too small and too narrow for me.

I got these for my sister size 9 wide but I tried them on and I'm an 8.5. They were to small on me! To small, not wide, no support and not comfortable.

I have been wearing the same size and style of Asics for years. I saw reviews that this current version ran small but ordered them anyway. They are way too small. I can barely get my foot in. I am returning them.

I have had several gel sevens, but this time got a gel eight. The toebox is much more narrow and hurts, even though I ordered a wide. It is also smaller in length front to back than the seven. Looking to figure out how I can return it.

The shoe has so much padding in the back that it shoves the foot forward and into the front end of the shoe.

The shoe stiches have come off. ASICS used to be a reliable brand. Poorly made. I feel like it's a total waste of $.

These used to be fabulous shoes, but the last 4 pairs I've bought have been awful. Wrote the first two off as outliers, but clearly that's not the case.

I have been a fan of ASICS for years however this pair really disappointing as way too small for size labeled and one shoe defective on back near heel as it rolls down instead of being rigid like opposite shoe . Not supportive nor able to be worn long.
