User questions & answers

Question:	Assuming the X-wide is 4E, than the normal width is 2E
Answer:	That would be a safe bet. Reef Fanning are extremely accurate in their sizing and seeing is how there are no half sizes, I would definitely go up instead of down ... no one likes their toes coming out the front ; )
Question:	Are the asics gel venture 7 shoes real asics or a knock off
Answer:	I bought men's sandals. Those, in the picture appear to be women's.
Question:	Has anyone with bad planters fasciitis wore these? If so, how is it on the strain of your planters fascia
Answer:	I purchased these after a friend's son left his pair on a vacation we were on with them. I like the style and comfort. We brought them home in our truck and left them there for about a day. The next day I went in the truck for Church and couldn't stand the stench from the flip flops. Our friend said her son (16 years old) has smelly feet so she was not surprised. I was concerned about this but bought them anyway. I haven't noticed any smell from mine and I have worn them quite a few days where my feet sweated. I have gotten them wet as well and they dry fairly quickly.
Question:	Why do so many people in the reviews say these are "knock offs"? Makes me a bit worried about my order to be honest
Answer:	Put them on and prepare to be amazed. My last flip' was made by NIKE and I would only use them to walk less than 400-500ft. If I had to walk 3 miles in a flip this would be the one I'd use; & there is no second place choice. ENJOY!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can orthotics be inserted in the footbed
Answer:	C/d means wide width. A is narrow. E is extra wide
Question:	If I start running south for a mile then turn 180°right which way wild my travel be? 😁 Then pivot & jump, like fast.. Will these be comfortable
Answer:	GREAT for hiking!! I think this shoe is outdated (i.e. this model no longer made,) but I still search them out to buy new online! Amazon always has some in my size *somewhere* lol. ANYWAY, FOR HIKING? ABSOLUTELY YES!!! I trained for a 5 day hike in the Grand Canyon with some lightweight hiking boots, and ultimately brought along and USED for the entire trip my Gel Venture 5’s!!! I did order a 1/2 size larger, because the hardest part of our hike was 10 miles down into the Canyon and needed that extra toe room. Also laced them up really well to prevent shifting in that extra 1/2 inch... and they were fantastic. Good grip and traction, and fabulous comfort all day. Highly recommended... I’ve had prob 5 pairs of these in the past several years. Hiking, walking, jogging, running, working; Whatever! These will keep your feet happy.
Question:	Are these sneakers warm or does air flow through them freely
Answer:	Women's size (8) feels true to fit. Men's (9.5) was returned for a wide option. Support in the shoe feels sturdy, and you can tell it's there. If you like more space order wide, it's snug across the top. Good stability for trails, thus the close quarter feel.
Question:	How are these on concrete?? Moderate running, About 4-5 miles about 3-4 days a week
Answer:	I wear 10.5N or 11N in athletic shoes, 10N in other/dress/casual shoes. These only came medium width, but after reviews, ordered in 10.5B and have been great for me. I did remove insole and replaced with custom orthotics for plantar f. which has finally improved after more than a year of treatment and being REALLY careful of what shoes I wore. Back on site today to see about replacing first pair of these as they have worked so well. Have another pair of Asics in 11N that also worked well. Always wore New Balance in narrow, but made the switch after trouble finding narrows and problems with feet. I also have very high arches and narrow feet. Also wish more shoes came in 10.5, as often the 11's are too large. These worked.

User questions & answers

Question:	I've had the nimbus 19 and 20 and in both i have holes where my big toe wore through. is the nimbus 22 any better or is is still missing a toe guard
Answer:	I wore a hole in my Gel Nimbus 20’s also but so far none in my 22’s. I have had them for almost a year and have out about 500 miles on them.
Question:	I have the nimbus 20 and had to buy half inch bigger. Are these the same where I would have to go a half inch bigger in size
Answer:	I have owned the 17 (best year), 10 D, Nimbus 19 in 10D....then came along model 20. I had to go up a 1/2 size and not only did they shorten the shoe but made it tighter shoe box. Luckily I have a narrow foot, mens C. My question is the same, how does the 22 fit since consistency with ASIC left the building w/ Nimbus 19? Comfort and cushion if you have had injuries can’t be beat w/ Numbus line if you can get right fit. Tried 3 different 20’s and finally found one that would fit in the same size and width on box. I hope they worked out consistency issues. I need a new pair we will see.
Question:	Is this made in USA
Answer:	I'm not sure but probably not. Most shoes are not made in the USA. Good luck finding shoes that are made here.
Question:	How i know if my foot is wide ,x wide or xx wide
Answer:	If you normally wear a wide dress shoe order the 2E or XX.

User questions & answers

Question:	WHat shoe compares to Kayan
Answer:	I wore that model shoe for years then went to a lighter weight shoe with more cushion. Decided to go back to Kayano and the only difference for me is the shoe foot box may be a touch smaller. I still like the shoe.
Question:	Good for indoor running and working out? I slip on certain surfaces in my current shoes
Answer:	Yes great shoes I teach PE and they are life saver for my feet!!
Question:	I wear a 9 in ladies so what would a 9 be in this men shoe? Thanks
Answer:	I consistently wear the Kayano in a US women's 8.5 or a US men's size 7. That would lead me to think a women's 9 would be a men's 7.5. I like the men's colors better than the women's colors. Fingers crossed ASCIS has screwed around with the sizes. I hear complains about the width being too narrow as the past models. I have had no problems. Make sure you get free returns. That said I own models 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. So far no problem. I wear what they call standard width. As my shoes get miles I rotate to car, house slippers(plantar problems) to active wear then out to donation box. They do get miles just like a car tire. Shoes do age sitting on the shelf. I don't buy more than a year old model because I don't know how they have been stored. I wear a spenco walker runner insole(red one) for more arch support because of my plantar fasciitis issues. So far i feel good. It has been the best sneakers I've ever own. Good luck.
Question:	is this good for standing like for 8-9 hours
Answer:	I've NOT been satisfied with the long wear comfort of these shoes. I too walk and stand most of the day. I am a nurse practitioner and comfortable shoes are important. This particular model has been the only let down of the ASICS lineup. I do recommend the Cumulus or Nimbus line. I've also worn those for nearly the past 15 years and those two lines have not failed me. I've only own 3 pairs of the Gel-Kayano and this #26 was very disappointing.
Question:	Saw several of the reviews complain these have no arch support? is it really that bad? is the foot bed just flat ? if so, how is this so "comfy
Answer:	It's true, not much arch support. They are good for walking around and look nice. Once the shoe forms to your foot, it will feel more flat and not as much cushion.
Question:	The model Sheet Rock/Koi is aprox grey/orange
Answer:	Sorry, I misread your question. Asics calls this color Sheet Rock/Koi Yes, it is basically grey/ burst range. Thank you
Question:	Where I run it’s 60% road (asphalt) and 40% dirt trail. Are these good for a combo environment like that
Answer:	JB, I've only had these shoe for about a month and only put approx 70 miles on them. In my opinion they are great for the surfaces you described. I run on similar ground and they are very comfortable on both surfaces. Regards, Rocky
Question:	Are the inserts removable
Answer:	Yes. I took them out right away, and put in my own insoles.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can inner soles be removed
Answer:	It looks like you may have to tear the inner soles out. With a little force, I believe it can be done though.
Question:	Do these have good cushion and heel suppport

In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan.

Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

User questions & answers

Question:	what does 4E mean
Answer:	It is the width of the shoe. It is an extra wide shoe if it has the 4E in front of the size. So an 11 4E would be size 11 extra wide.Narrow: BStandard: DWide: 2EExtra Wide: 4E
Question:	I just received my pair of Asics gel venture 5 shoes. I wear 91/2 D. I tried them on and they feel narrow. Do Asics run narrow? Thanks
Answer:	They ARE narrow. I want a wider size and according to the shoe size chart link, I wanted a 2E, not 4E Ultrawide, BUT Amazon Zappo's only stock the 'normal' Narrow and 4E Ultrawides. @WayneM, there is no 'half size larger' to select, apparently they don't pay attention to what people are buying and they don't bother to restock. I went ahead and ordered the D 'medium' which is actually very NARROW. The shoes came and they just fit me with the laces all the way stretched out. That said, I like them anyway - they're light and the sole is solid. The box only says size 10.5 and No width letter. And they don't show the width letter on the shoe's label either. Good shoe, not great sizing.So, Zappo's / Amazon has some work to do to avoid confusion and returns, just stock the medium wides, please. And start labeling the shoes better.
Question:	I saw these are running shoes are they comfortable if only used for walking
Answer:	I've been wearing them for walking for almost a year now. I started walking a few hundred yards a day last summer when I weighed 270 and by fall I was walking 6-8 miles a day! I am down to 190 and my asics venture 5s have finally begun to wear out. I normally wear orthotics but have never put them in the asics and my feet are just fine! As a side note I bought some new balance on sale a couple weeks ago and my feet immediately began to hurt! I am buying another pair of asics venture5s today!
Question:	Can I get these shoes tomorrow
Answer:	These shoes kick A$$ and take names. These new Matt 5 running shoes are outta names now

Question:	What is the return policy if i did one run in these
Answer:	When returning this item they charged a small return fee that wasn’t listed in the description. Returning well within the timeframe and still charged. :-(
Question:	The item view says (4e) but if you select size below for example it say 10, 10-w or 10 extra w. Do is the 10 B(M) or is it 4e
Answer:	I agree with the response from John H on 3/8 since the drop down allows you to select a size at the regular width or the wide width but the description at the top indicates its a wide width (4E). Big mistake on Asics part since i like 1000's of others are not going to take the chance and place an order hoping i get a regular width. Hello Nike!
