Way too small for the supposed size. Had to return them. Disappointed because I have multiple pairs of ASICS in this same size that fit well.

Just like the other reviews, the shoes quality is poor.

This shoe is a really poor substitute for the Gel-Kahana 8. Not nearly the same level of support on rough, rocky trails. I'm extremely disappointed that Asics discontinued the Gel-Kahana line. The Venture 9 is an ok shoe for the gym or on the street. But it's a poor choice as a trail shoe.

I have worn the GEL-Venture 8 successfully for years. I have only worn these 9s for 4 days. They are sloppy, have no support for my feet (even with my orthotics) and have made my feet hurt. I am returning them because I truly cannot wear them without causing my feet pain.

My son wore these for 2 months and the material on the back of the shoe wore off and plastic is now showing. ASICS refuses to stand by their product and warranty the shoe for him. I will never buy another pair of ASICS again. He has worn this model of shoe for 10 years but the quality has significantly gone down.

Odd Fit, does not fit the same size as I expected from having many other pairs of asics.

To narrow and stiff at the front of the shoe. Good fit on back
I'd also recommend:
Brooks, New Balance

The design has changed and they pinched my husband's toes. We had to return them.

Feel like there's no cushioning in these, if they were softer underfoot I'd be happy with them.

Never had an Asics hurt so much just when I put it on. Rest of the time, no better shoes exist. Asics was ALWAYS comfortable. Back to the drawing board on this one.

I should have known better since i have had this problem before with other pairs. The toe area is just not fortified enough. Cheap thread and poor construction. See pictures or only a few weeks of just walking with them around the neighborhood.

Really bad support and didn't fit right. I have another pair of ASICS the same size that fit well but these are bad.

I'm very disappointment with these shoes. After being a happy user for Gel-Nimbus it was time for a new ones, and I thought this would work as well. I mainly use them for walking, long walks some times (3/4 hours) and unfortunately after the first one, I start to feel pain in the heel, bot feet. They are not as comfortable as the Nimbus when walking.
