Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 9

Love the shoe but it's a tad too small, my toe almost touched the front and it was my normal shoe size.

These shoes seem well made and would have been perfect - they just hit a little high on the ankle for me. Definitely a nice choice for someone who needs a soft, comfy shoe (and has less bony ankles than I do).

Very comfortable

I thought they were navy blue from the picture, but they are black. Still love them.

I was trying to replace my old pair of the same shoes. Sadly, nothing feels the same: they are shorter and wider (in the same size) and the sole feels squishier - fine for standing around, but providing less stability for walking. Had to send them back. Other reviewers seem to notice the same issues, so I don't think it's just me.

I like aesics but these shoes are too big.

A little boxy but very comfortable and durable

Shoe is very comfortable to wear especially 8 hour shift. No more foot pain after work.

I don't own any other ASICS. I ordered these for the midnight blue color. The color is perfect. They have great support. The only negative is that they run short. Had I known that I would have ordered up half a size.

I tried these shoes and loved the color, but the top bunched up weirdly over my foot when I tried to snug them up and tie them. They looked weird and felt big.

These shoes are divinely comfortable! Great for indoors or warm weather.

I loved this shoe...it's looks and comfort! Unfortunately it ran a little short, and you were out of the next 1/2 size up.

Solid walking shoes

I had to add arch supports (high arches). Otherwise, very comfortable. I always order a half-size up for running shoes, not for casual walking fit but for function for long-distances/guaranteed no issues.

This review is specific to the ivory/dune color. I love these sneakers and have used them for years. But I got these as a new pair and the color is awful! It’s more of a green-grey. Returning for a different color way.

Fit well, comfortable, like the color.

Even when wearing a thin, lightweight sock, the shoe feels a little tight, so I'm going up a half size.

I like Asics and have had good luck with them. This shoe I had to size up 1/2 size. But I forgot that I need to order a wide to accommodate both my arch supports and my wide toes. So I'm not really happy with the fit, because after awhile they rub on my little toes. If you don't have a spread-out forefoot like me, you may like these just fine.
