Review on Habanero Men's ASICS Gel Venture Running Shoes - Enhancing Performance by Wensheng Dunbar

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Worst laces of any shoe

I have been buying these shoes for many years, they are my favorite shoes. I've been buying them automatically from Revain for years and just realized the last ones I bought were Gel-Venture 6 and the new Gel-Venture 8. Most of these good reviews are from previous generation shoes! And that's what Revain allows for seamless transitions between versions, because it's simpler and richer. There has to be some kind of version control. I love these shoes down to the laces. It feels like the laces are gradually getting smaller, maybe half the size of previous shoes. It's like the old laces had a core that made them round, and the new laces don't have that twist, so they're flat. If I double-knot my old shoelaces, I can untie them and take off my boot. These new boots have these horrible flat laces that are very tight. So if you double tap it, I have to take my boot off and then tug on it to untie the knot.

Pros
  • I have a 4 XL foot so the ASICS running shoes fit my needs. Very wide shoes are hard to find.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those with underpronation
