These are the only sneakers that really feel like they fit my feet. I love the color options. They're true to size. I wear them almost constantly and buy a new pair once a year because I want to, not because they've worn out

Super comfortable. Great fit - I have teeny tiny little feet so it's really hard to find any grown up shoe that fits well! Highest compliment for a shoe: when I'm wearing them I'm not thinking about them. They last a long time. This is my 2nd pair and I wouldn't even think about buying any other brand.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

These trail sneakers have a nice wide toe box, but run a tiny bit short if you wear a thicker sock. After 5 miles my feet felt like they could use more support/cushion inside. I would replace the insoles but they are permanent.

These are comfy. I like the loop in the back to help put them on. And they look super cute!

I ordered a size 8 medium Venture 9 to replace my old Venture 6 shoes in the same size. They seem to be the same width but too long. Considering ordering a half size down. The description states that the insoles are removable but they are not. Solid glue from side to side and end to end, as if the insole is holding the whole shoe together. Those insoles are not coming out so cannot use my orthodics. Very disappointed. Please update the description of product.

I like the gel in this. It's cooling and provides softness. At first, it feels a little squishy but my injured left foot felt pretty comfortable in it. I was able to walk despite a bad foot in these shoes. I ordered extra wide and that was helpful because I have wide feet. It's at least true to size if not slightly longer. I ordered a second pair.

Everything about this shoe was what I was looking for except one small, but important, detail requires me to return them, which makes me sad. I do not typically have any trouble with my instep but the stitching at the very bottom of the material around the laces of the right foot shoe rubs the top of my foot. This is an area that will not stretch out.

I am a go to Asics buyer when it comes to sneakers. I loved the Gel Contend 6 which fit my foot well with lots of support and cushion. But because I walk 6-7 miles a day outside the Gel Contend 6 did not hold up. I decided to try the Gel-Venture 9 do to it having more tread on the bottom. In the first week of wearing them on my 6-7 mile quest I found that they were not as cushioned as the Gel Contend 6 and actually was causing my shins to hurt and my feet to ache. I have inflammatory arthritis in my right knee so this definitely did not help in that department either. I noticed if I lace and tie them loosely they are more bearable. Unfortunately, I could not not return them do to wearing them outside. I guess I have track down my old lovable Gel Contend 6, as I don't think they make that version anymore, and just replace once the tread starts to go. But I can say that if you are not intending on wearing these shoes for a consistent walking stretch such as I do then they will probably do the job as a daily shoe (i.e. running errands, short walks, etc.)

I am happy with them for the most part, but they do t quite give me the room I need for my hammer toe. If they could give just a little more room in the thickness of the toe area they would be perfect!
