ASICSWomen's Gel-Venture 9 Running Shoes

I don't write many reviews, but I love these sneakers so much! I've recently started running again after many years away, and I actually look forward to putting these on and hitting the pavement. I have high arches that need support, and from the first time I put these on my feet have felt supported, cushioned, and secure. Traction is good; I ran (carefully) on snow and ice in these and didn't slip. They're breathable, cozy in chilly weather, and also super cute. I've pretty much abandoned the Reeboks I was wearing before because there's just no comparison in comfort, style and function. Speaking of, time to go for a run!

Good value and quality. Good fit. Good support. Good traction.

Wear them while working all day on my feet every day at work... Very comfy!

I bought the black with hot pink trim shoes. I needed a shoe to wear when I walk my dog in the dewy grass in the mornings. I've been wearing duck boots and wanted something waterproof that was more comfortable and versatile. The reviews for these shoes touted their waterproof nature.Pros: these shoes look very good, are extremely cushioned and comfortable when wearing socks with ankle coverage, and for me (size 10), true to size.Cons: I've never worn them in the rain but I've been wearing them in wet grass and my feet get wet around the toe area; the pink trim shoes I have appear to have a higher ankle than some of the other options (like the black with green trim shoes), and if I wear low-cut socks, the somewhat scraggly ankle fabric of the shoe rubs and irritates the back of my ankles (this isn't an issue with ankle socks or other socks with more ankle coverage).Overall, they're really pretty shoes and generally very comfortable, but the ones I received are not waterproof. Maybe the most I can say is they are water-resistant. The mesh fabric appears to be coated with something, but it's not waterproof. For example, I just got back from a walk in wet grass and my socks are soaked in the toe region. I would definitely buy these shoes to wear out and about since they're very attractive and comfortable, but, unless my particular shoes are a fluke, I wouldn't buy them if I needed a waterproof shoe. Because it doesn't appear that these shoes were advertised as waterproof, I'm not rating them based on that.

Wore these right out of the box and even to work (office attire - but casual). They are so very comfortable and provide the ankle support I appreciate. I walk fast around the office, have had toe surgery and arthritis to these shoes are just what the doctor would suggest. Gotta say, I really love wearing them and move quickly through the day in orthopaedic comfort :)

I got these for my winter commute and that they were labeled waterproof.They are definitely waterproof. My feet stayed dry despite walking miles through rainy downpours, puddles and snow. They are super comfortable once broken in. Took a couple weeks to break in but totally worth it.It's been about 7 months and they are still doing their job. No other inserts needed and I wear them home after wearing work boots all day. I will definitely buy again.

I used these to go to an outdoor festival that I was standing and dancing all weekend in the mud. They worked out great.

thought i was buying mens shoes. i tried it on immediately was tight especially on left foot.

mi esposa me comenta que le gustaron mucho, comodos y la medidad correcta

Muy bonitos tenis, excelente material, pero no me quedaron, no eran la talla que yo solicité. Muy a mi pesar los tuve que devolver, pero eran excelentes.

Ich benötigte leichte Wanderschuhe mit Gel Sohle. Ich wandere viele Kilometer und die Füße dürfen nicht schmerzen. Alles super.
