Description

The GEL-VENTURE 8 running shoe is designed for the great outdoors. This versatile shoe is excellent for trail runs, light hiking or exploring a new city. This model has been updated with a more accommodating forefoot fit, while reducing the amount of overlays around the forefoot without sacrificing durability. Lastly, the outsole is more durable with a traction pattern that's been improved with re-engineered lugs under the heel. All of these updates make the new GEL-VENTURE 8 shoe a recommended companion for your next adventure.

  • Great shoe from Asics!
Size: 8 Color: Metropolis/Black
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! ... show more

  • Got these for my son who has been training but also suffering from shin splints
I recently bought the ASICS Men's Gel-Venture 8 Running Shoes for my son, who has been running a ton to get ready for lacrosse season. He had been struggling with shin splints, but these shoes have made a world of difference. The gel cushioning system in the heel has provided much-needed shock absorption, reducing the impact on his legs and significantly alleviating his shin splints. He’s been able to increase his running distance and intensity without the discomfort that previously held him back. The fit is perfect—secure but not too tight—and the breathable mesh keeps his feet cool and dry during long runs. The durable outsole provides excellent traction, whether he's running on trails or pavement, giving him confidence in every step. The shoes look good. They’ve become his go-to for not just running, but also for everyday wear. Overall, the ASICS Men's Gel-Venture 8 Running Shoes have been a fantastic investment for my son's training. They offer the right blend of comfort, support, and durability, and have truly helped him get back on track for lacrosse season. ... show more

  • nice cushioning
Size: 10 Color: Black/Directoire Blue
good running training shoe. size was slightly on the large side but nothing a thick sock won't cure. A nice ride, looks good too.

  • Son liked them
Size: 11.5 Color: Black/Shocking Orange
These were a gift for my son and he liked them. He thought the shocking orange color was very nice. They fit very well and appear to run true to size. Asics shoes are always comfortable for him and they hold up good.

  • Very comfortable shoe.
Very comfortable and appears well-made running shoe at a very good price. I would definitely buy again. But be aware that it seems to run a bit small as I had to go up a half size from my usual fit to get a good fit.

  • Nice shoe
Size: 11.5 Color: Metropolis/Black
These run about a half size smaller in my experience, but just add that extra to your size and they fit well. Comfortable for walking or general use all day long

  • Great shoe but needs an insert upgrade.
I have been wearing Asics for years and they've always been a great shoe for anything from running to hiking. The only ding I would give these is the sole inserts. They are extremely thin and seem about twice the thickness of a sock. They are also semi-glued into place. I removed them and replaced them with a comfort gel pad. This makes a huge difference in long-term comfort. I took them on a recent vacation and walked about 18 miles in them. Very comfortable and still look new. I recommend. ... show more

  • Disappointing for Volleyball, Better for Casual Use
Size: 8 Color: Black/Directoire Blue
I bought the ASICS Men's Gel-Venture 8 Running Shoes specifically for playing volleyball, but unfortunately, they didn't meet my expectations for this purpose. After using them for a few games, my legs started hurting due to the hard sole. It seems these shoes are not well-suited for the quick movements and impact of volleyball. However, on the positive side, they do add some height, which might be a plus for some users. If you're looking for a pair of shoes for casual wear or light running, these might be a good choice, but I wouldn't recommend them for sports that require a lot of jumping and lateral movement. ... show more
