I love this shoe. I have two pair and I purchasing a third right now. I buy everything on sale. For the price the gel-venture 5 is a great shoe. My favorite feature is the sole, this pattern holds up well. Unlike a few others that Asics makes. No names will be mentioned for now. Thx, hope this helps.

Been wearing NB for years but find their new shoes are so stiff(soles) like walking on 2x4's. So I switched over to Asics and Nike. These shoes for $60.00 are a great value. Not as comfortable as the Gel Nimbus but for the low price, I won't complain.

These shoes really made my feet hurt when I got them. There was no arch support, so I went out to buy insoles for them. Add the cost of the shoe to the cost of the insole and this is the real price.

This is probably the worst shoe for running that I've purchased over the past 5 years. I run 5 miles 4-5 times a week. On the first run, the bottoms of my feet ached, my calves ached, and my heels were rubbed raw. "Just breaking them in," I thought. After several more runs (with bandaids on my heels), the same thing. I just walked back after going .75 miles because the pain. The weird thing is... my previous pair of shoes were Asics.

Great fit and comfortable for long walks, hikes or all-day wear. They could breath a little better, but you can't expect goretex at this price point :)

This is a great shoe for the price. I'm a pro trail runner and I train in real rugged rocky terrain. I go thru shoes so fast and destroy them so quick. This shoe has great traction on even wet rocky trails, good arch support and sole hasn't come apart ( not yet). But they will, that's why I got them. To test them and put the thru hell. I'll shred them in three months, about my norm. If they last four months, I'll get another pair.(:

Nice light shoe, feels like it has solid construction and will last. Good support. I generally wear 8.5(US Mens) to 9. The 9 was too big.

I purchased these shoes for my son, who has narrow feet and plantar fasciitis. He loves them, says that they are very comfortable and ease the pain of his plantar fasciitis. I am very satisfied with this purchase and would definitely purchase these shoes again. By the way, I own a pair of Asics that I wear for walking/jogging and they are among my favorites.

Great fitting shoe and amazing look. I love some of the color schemes used by Asics. This shoe was also particularly light which makes it for a really nice running shoe. Can't beat the price either and believe me, I looked everywhere.

For those who have wide feet, you know the challenge of finding shoes that are actually wide and comfortable. The ASICS Gel-Venture are AWESOME! Bought these for my husband, and he was shocked that they were actually wide enough for his hobbit feet, as was I because we've tried so many shoes. These were a winner.

Lightweight, comfortable,and a strong arch. I have to go with a slightly larger size with these than some other brands, but that is not a problem at all. They actually fit properly, support my arches and cushion the heel just right.

My husband has large feet size 15 and he likes these. He says they are comfortable. I was worried he wouldn’t like these because he usually wears Columbia sneakers. He wears these around town for running errands and so far so good.

Absolutely love this shoe. Size 10 Width 4E. I have wide feet and always struggle to find a pair that fit great but also provide good support to the arch. I just started working out again and needed a shoe that would feel great on the treadmill as well as in the weight room. Good support, light shoe and seems to be holding up well. Just bought a second pair to keep in my suitcase for weekly travel.
