Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 9

Like the concept and look of the shoe but the size is a bit shorter than expected and because of the sale I would have to pay to return it. Be sure the shoe will fit before committing to it.

Great fit and performance. I wore them for a 6 mile trail hike in Colorado and no issues. Great stability and cushioning. Traction and durability also great.

I have not received it yet. I am due for a new pair

They are ok if you're ok your feet all day at work. They started out great but I think I've worn through the cushion in a month.

The laces were frayed upon delivery. I sent pictures, descriptions, etc. Twelve days ago, I was told I would hear the disposition of my "case" within 24-48 hours. No word yet on whether Asics will send me new laces. "Returns" wants $4.99 as a restocking fee. Are you kidding me? You can't send me replacement laces gratis? Ridiculous.

Not for full volume feet or tall insteps. When I tried them on, the tongue wouldn't tuck in on the sides of the shoe leaving my socks exposed on both sides of the tongue. The shoe seems quality and like it would have lasted but it just didn't fit.

Good traction and support, but somewhat bulky and stiff. Good for a longer, slower run, but definitely not one for race day (unless it's a somewhat technical course).

I the fit, color, and sole. It was a very good purchase for the price.

I have several pairs of Asics sneakers. Some I've had for a while. Unlike other manufacturers, Asics holds it's shape and is as comfortable as the day I bought them. They are the only sneaker I buy.

I've been wearing this style shoe for the last ten years. From Gel Venture 6 on up. This shoe seems a little wider in the middle than the others. The fit is good, but it just seems a much wider style than the others.

I suffer from frequent plantar fasciitis and overpronation, I have a bunion on both feet and I'm just under 40. I walk a lot and do some cardio work here and there. I can almost immediately tell when a shoe won't work for my foot. I wore these during a five-mile walk yesterday on a paved road and my feet were a bit strained. I'm going to donate them today only after one use. I bought the wide variant of this shoe. This shoe didn't work for me, but it may for you depending on your activity level. I typically walk 20-30 miles weekly and have started rotating my footwear more.

These shoes provided the comfortable, snug fit that I've come to expect from Asics. They were not quite the color I expected from the Asics site, but, they are still stylish.

Runs smaller than previous pairs. I always order my husband a 13 extra wide. This time the shoes were too tight in him. He noticed they were made in a different country than his previous pairs and when placed side by side, the new pair was about 1/2 smaller.

While happy with the sneakers, I was disappointed to the the price drop after my purchase!

I use these for work shoes Im on my feet all day they are great

Not as comfortable as the Gel-Venture 7. Sole is very stiff and noisy on wood floors. Toe box is a little tight.

Basic sneaker. Good price. Wish it had come in a wider variety of funky colors, like the women's.

Bought these and within 5 the left sole had wear. I called Asics and a claim was started. The left sole was wearing out after 5 days. The Warranty claim was closed by Asics the same day. Not covered under warranty. What walking shoes wear in 5 days? Horrible. They don't stand behind their product.

Angled toe box will cause a bunion when sitting. Soft enough that it does not matter when standing.
