ASICSMen's Gel-Venture 8 Running Shoes

I wasn't sure how they would fit because the 1st pair of Asics I had always felt and looked a half size too big. A second pair I owned felt just a tad too small. This pair of gel venture 8s feel perfect! I have bad hips and need both of them replaced eventually so I'm always looking for a good comfortable shoe. I put these on and was wowed! I tied them up and walked around the house a little. It feels like the toe box widens as I take a step making these feel even more comfortable than they already are. They're light and just feel so good on my feet. Not too tight and not too loose. Just such a good fit. A guy I work with has the same pair and loves them! He wears them everyday so they're well worn in and he says they're still comfortable and he even bought a 2nd pair to have ready to go for when the current pair wear out. Which will be very soon 😆 Anyway that was enough for me to check them out and I'm so glad I did! He had no idea what model they were so I had to research a little, but it didn't take me long. I found a great price here on Amazon so I ordered a pair and couldn't wait for them to arrive! They were definitely worth the excitement! My brooks ghost 15s are like walking on pillows but I just love they way these gel ventures fit! I use insoles in my brooks and other shoes. Not with these though! They're good as they are and much cheaper! So dang glad I came back to asics. All because of a guys worn out pair at work. Gotta love it! I highly suggest checking them out! I even ordered a 2nd pair to have on deck because they just fit so good and feel so comfortable! Nvm the great price! I didn't want to miss out on the price but also didn't want to worry about them not being made anymore since the 9s are now out. Been seeing and hearing really good things about those now! I guess they deff improve on the 8s and actually are better. I'll check them out eventually. I'm happy enough with the 8s! Great job Asics!I tried the venture 9s and I don't like how bulky they are. The toe box has too much space between the top of my foot and the top of the toe box. They're comfortable, but the 8s seem to be the sweet spot for me. They've been great so far! They just fit my feet so good! I also like the toe box mesh material more on the 8s. I just love the 8s so far!

Very comfortable, light, and seem to breathe well. I ordered the extra wide and they fit well, seem true to size, and appear well made.

I bought these Asics Gel-Venture 8 shoes for walking in nature mostly on asphalt paths through the woods/nature. They are not as comfortable as the Asics Gel Nimbus shoes but they are half the price and they are still comfortable. I like that these shoes are more rounded in front not smashing my toes together which can force the big toe inward which can create a bunion [A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe. It occurs when some of the bones in the front part of your foot move out of place. This causes the tip of your big toe to get pulled toward the smaller toes and forces the joint at the base of your big toe to stick out]. For added comfort I installed my favorite insole [CVS Health Men's Copper Foam Insoles. I add those to all my shoes/boots; It has a decent thickness under the toes for added comfort; It's like 1/8 inch thick dense black rubber that has a fast bounce back unlike memory foam that bounces back very slow; Having a faster bounce back rubber insole will give more support, the support will always be there; With memory foam you press down and it stays down for a long time before recovering back into shape which is the opposite of consistent support]. I will update this review after I see how long the rubber outsoles last; The rubber outsoles on my Asics Gel Dedicate 7 shoes I use for tennis wore out in just 1-1/2 months and Asics said they will not send me a replacement because they stopped guaranteeing how long the rubber outsole will last [They use to have a 1 year guarantee; If the rubber outsole wore out within 1 year Asics use to send a replacement]; I've found that the rubber outsoles on Asics shoes wear out too fast; I'm in search of shoes that have a more durable outsole rubber; Prince Tennis shoes have a 6 month outsole durability guarantee; So for now I will go with Prince tennis shoes for tennis and for walking in nature.

Was skeptical about purchasing shows online, even through Amazon. The shoes arrived in undamaged, original box with original tags. They look awesome and fit perfect. Very lightweight and comfortable. Perfect for work. Probably gonna order a second pair.

I was tired of buying my same old $100 Nikes for how much I was running and working out and these shoes have lasted longer than the Nikes that I was purchasing. Keep in mind that these aren't "Flashy" by any means but if you're looking for a shoe that is comfy, inexpensive, has longevity and is a great running shoe than look no further than these!

I was traveling in a foreign country and the Asics Venture 8 I was wearing was getting old. I bought a pair of Nikes. Nikes only come in regular width. I bought one size up from my regular size so the width fit my feet. The Nikes felt comfortable so I bought it for about $100. After walking around for a full day I could feel the shoes were noticeably tighter. When I got back to the US I ordered another pair of X-wide Asics Venture 8 at my regular size. Asics fit is comfortable even after a full day of walking. Nikes are fine if your feet has regular width. My feet are wide and Asics offer the X-wide option for superior fit.

These are fabulous shoes. I had a rather old pair of shoes that I was using for my daily walks and jogs, but my feet started hurting so I knew that the shoes were wearing rather thin. So, I saw these online and bought hoping they would help. Everything is very comfortable about these shoes and they are great for walking and just being active. And the price is excellent! So I will be getting more of these in the future. Definitely recommended for anyone who likes to walk every day or is pretty active on their feet. Comfortable and very affordable, and will save you the $100 you will use to buy shoes at the local department store. Great buy!
