Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 9

These shoes are very good looking and feel great. They are a bit wider in the toe box. Nice since they are good for trails and long walks.

These shoes are terrible. My feet and lower legs hurt after the first mile. Very little support. They are advertised as being made for wide feet, but they squeezed my toes and left blisters on the sides of both little toes. These shoes are not made for wide feet. I do not recommend this product.

Solid sole made compared to today's eraser rubber soles. Shoe laces strong. Shoes arrived pre laced.

Tongue needs to have more padding so it doesn't wrinkle & has more cushioning for bones underneath the laces. Good tread & roomy toe box. I like how the shoe has just a touch more stack. Very nice cushioning.

Unlike other sneakers where it takes time to break them in, these sneakers were immediately comfortable. I am grateful for the wide size, which feel much better on my feet.

Every pair of Asics is a winner for me. Continue doing what u do so well!

Very comfortable. Will use them for walking around.

order a whole size or half size up, depending if you wear half sizes or whole sizes.

Comfortable Overall, Supports feet with high arch for long periods of time. I recommend.

I bought these shoes overseas as we were walking/hiking between 7-10 miles a day sightseeing, and I needed a break from my other shoes. I have worn Asics for the last 25 years, and these are by far my most comfortable model so far. The toe box seems more roomy than in previous models, which is perfect for my wide feet. The cushioning feels great and worked even for days with mainly concrete walking. The shoes are very lightweight, which I first thought made them " feel" a little cheap, but - even after three weeks and 150 miles, these shoes still look brand new with no wear to the sole or surface material ... I have two minor complaints ... ventilation and tongue design ... these shoes do get warm on hot summer days but so do most other sport shoes and .... the tongue slides to the side - which interestingly doesn't seem to bother me walking - there is no rubbing but I wish they would have made the tongue wider at the base . These are by far my most comfortable trail runners so far and I own only " super cushioned" runners from several large brands . They will be my go to shoes ... During the entire vacaton and many, many miles through cities my back , legs and feet were not hurting which is a small miracle for someone with arthritis and back issues ... These run true to size for me.

Asics seems to be the only sneaker that fits my somewhat wide feet. I have a bunion on one foot and arthritis in the other, both with bumps on them. Right out of the box, they are comfortable.

Got for fiance. She loves them just like mine. We use for work, only thing is the inside at the heel wear out after about 4 or 5 months.

Great shoe! Perfect fit. Very comfortable! Very true to size.

I've been wearing Asics for work for the last several years... I work outdoors and walk about 8 miles per day, so comfy, durable shoes are a must. I love the Gel Venture series because they're comfortable from day 1! Unfortunately, each new series seems to be less and less resilient. My Gel Venture 7's would last me 6-7 months, but one month into my Gel Venture 9's and the soles are notably worn down.

Great shoes, nice support, love the color, durable

These shoes are very comfortable, and for wide shoes they are great. I love this color as well.

New model is comfortable and looks good. Wear these as my work shoes as a nurse.
