ASICS Gel Venture 9 Mens Trail Running Shoes

Product Information

Wear them around the house: without going outside and getting them dirty (so you can still return them if necessary), wear your new shoes around the house to see how they make your feet feel. Someone looking for an outdoor shoe for various terrains since Asics Venture 9 is an all-around shoe. This tech consists of a squishy, gel-like substance implanted in the midsole, and it absorbs impact forces for a smoother ride. The latest iteration is Pure Gel, and it’s formulated to be lighter, softer, and more flexible than previous versions of Gel. Even so, it’s still a heavier material than foam, so it’s best for training shoes where long-lasting cushioning, rather than low weight, is the most important factor. You’ll find it in many of the company’s flagship shoes, including the Gel-Kayano, Gel-Cumulus, and Gel-Nimbus. FlyteFoam Like other shoemakers, Asics has its own proprietary cushioning, called FlyteFoam. Although it’s based on ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA), the traditional running shoe cushioning material, this foam is formulated to be lighter and more resilient than standard EVA. It doesn’t have quite the same springy feel as the other types of FlyteFoam below, but it works fine for everyday running. It’s used in Asics’ more affordable shoes, like the GT-1000.

Clean them after they get muddy. The extra debris can dry out the materials and abrade the water-resistant coating. It is a style of midsole that helps reduce the impact of running on hard surfaces, but it doesn’t put an extra spring in your step. It’s good, but not great.The Latin phrase was one of the major inspirations for the founder of ASICS, Kihachiro Onitsuka. He believed that physical activity was an essential part of healthy living. What I also love about the outsole of this shoe is that the lugs are built to really grip challenging trails under your feet. The newest addition of this shoe has redesigned lugs that have a unique pattern that helps to improve your grip, stability, and overall traction. Asics Gel-Venture 9 has an exciting upper. It exudes protection and comfort by just looking at it. Asics made slight adjustments in the upper to make it more accommodating and protective than the previous version. For instance, the previous version runs narrow, but in Gel Venture 9, the toe box is slightly broader and more structured. Trail running is notoriously rougher on your footwear than running on a treadmill or around the neighborhood on the pavement. That’s why we always recommend a little extra shoe care to help your ASICS go for the long haul.

If you’re in search of a race shoe, consider the Asics MetaSpeed line (such as the MetaSpeed Edge+ below). Bottom line: Whether you need a workhorse trainer or you’re looking for your next marathon shoe, Asics has models that can get the job done. Second, a layer of firmer cushioning (called LiteTruss) is placed in the medial side of midsole; it counteracts overpronation and keeps your foot aligned as you run. Overpronators and anyone who likes a more supportive shoe should seek out Asics models that have this tech, like the Gel-Kayano and the GT-1000. How We Evaluated the Best Asics Running Shoes Despite the lower density, Amplifoam midsoles are relatively durable and do a decent job at retaining their shape and flexibility despite the stressors that come with trail running. Someone looking for casual wear, an all-day walking shoe with regular cushioning and support features. Venture 9 has supportive features for those with rolling ankles.This was my first time in trail running shoes from Asics, so I was excited to try out the fit. Everything tightened up well, and the first thing I noticed was solid outsole design ready for trails. Despite being a budget-friendly trail running shoe, the Asics Gel Venture 9 can withstand over 800 miles. I have done 200 miles, and the outsole has minimal sights of wear. I am sure about getting new pairs before they wear out. Therefore, with the Amplifoam midsole foam and rear gel technology in the heel, the ride is much softer on the trail than on the road. Besides, the snug, secure fitting of Gel Venture 9 has been revamped for navigating trail terrains. Hence, this may feel uncomfortable and restrictive for regular training, whereby relaxed fitting is preferable.
