Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture 8 Mid Top

I consistently only buy ASICS for a reason. Previously had the Gel Venture 4 and they lasted 2+ years of everyday use. These new gel venture 8’s are supremely comfortable plus ASICS rarely make mid top/high top sneakers. I want to buy another pair in the another color.

Size runs a little big and comfort is medium

Get actual sizing. I went up and they were too big.

Just a hair smaller than I'd like through the toes, but still comfortable (and when you're a size 13-14 it comes with the territory). They feel quality as I've come to expect from Asics and with 6 herniated discs, the gel soles are my new favorite over air soles as they don't pop.

Very comfortable and well made. Slightly narrower than expected, but not bad.

Look good, feel good. The toe area has more room than some Nikes and New Balance I have had.

As a delivery driver, these shoes have served me well in the couple months that I have owned them. I only have an average of about 50 stops during my route so I can't speak to their performance for heavy routes that have 150+ stops. My only complaint is that the outsoles are very slippery on wet, smooth surfaces so don't consider buying these as non-slip work shoes. Anytime I'm walking and the bottoms get wet, I have to tread carefully or my feet will just slide out from under me. Any rougher surfaces (rough cement, asphalt, etc) it's not much of a problem as the shoe has good traction. Just avoid buying these if you're around smooth surfaces where your shoes might get wet often. Otherwise, comfy and nice shoe.

The style is great and love the mid top for better ankle support. These felt a bit snug in length and width. After a few hours they become bright and uncomfortable. You may need to buy a half size larger than normal

Comfy. I love these out on the trail.

Great look. Extremely comfortable to walk in

Great fit. I’ve bought several pairs of these for both hiking and walking. Very comfortable and sturdy.

These sneakers are great! Comfortable, fit well. Very happy with them. Plus the price was right, $52. You can't beat that. Well done Zappos, I'll be back. Cheers!

I like these sneakers a lot. They're comfortable and supportive and they last as long as any others sneakers I have worn. For me, they tend to run a little small. I usually wear a 9.5 (US). I take a 10 in the Asics.

Ok for cheaper sneakers. Foot does slide.

Ok for cheaper sneakers.

I wear them for deck hockey. Ok support but the high top is nice.

These sneakers are the best fitting sneakers I've purchased in years. I usually buy Addidas but the last 2 pairs I bought were just ok. I don't like just ok but that's the best way to describe Addidas . However New Balance I can't find anything that is nice. My Asics I just got well I'm hooked I'll be getting these for a long time thank you.

I've been getting the same shoe in the same size for years; always through Zappos. Customer service was amazing when the package (by my own fault) was shipped to an old address.

Purchased for my son and he absolutely loves them . Comfortable , and a great fit.
