Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 9

Although the width was D it seemed a little tight on me. My other Asice pair were D's and they fit fine.

ASICS broke this line. I’ve ordered GEL-Venture for years and they’ve been making them worse and worse with every model. This year, they finally cut enough corners to make them unwearable. This is the shoe of less. Less color, less padding, less durable, less availability… Except for the price. That went up. Now I’ve got to find another shoe line or brand again.

Shoe fits well. I don't feel I get the support I need for my feet, including using orthotic inserts.

I have bought ASICS many times in person, Zappos and Amazon. The product gets cheaper and cheaper. I certainly would not use these for running….maybe mowing the lawn. It’s sad that one has to spend $100 or much more to get a quality shoe that might cost less than $30 to manufacture in Asia. ASICS is not the only one to blame.

These felt at least a half size small. Possibly close to a full size. Will be on their way back to Zappos today.

Sizes run small.

Sad but this pair was to big! Same as bought before, love my ASICS Returned for 1/2 size smaller

they look great but smaller than expected

I always order size 11 and they fit perfect. But the new venture 9 runs small. Toes were touching the inside end of sneaker but never did with venture 7 or 8

They're okaaay, but they don't seem to fit as well as the Asics Gel-Cumulus or Gel-Nimbus that I am used to. I thought these would be somewhat similar, but more rugged. They are certainly more rugged, but they don't support my ankles, as well. I wear them primarily for my drive into work where I change into my work boots, but outside of basic walking around for shopping and such I don't really feel inclined to recommend them for much more. They do look cool, though.
