I bought the Asics Women's GEL-Venture 9 Trail Running Shoes last month as an early birthday gift to myself, and I love them! They fit my wide feet perfectly, are super comfortable, and give great support. I got them from Famous Footwear, and it was definitely a great buy! KayDee69 · famousfootwear.com

I actually almost returned these shoes because they are unlike anything I’ve ever worn before. I’m usually not a fan of wide and squishy shoes, but these turned out to be amazingly stable, supportive, rugged, and grippy. They performed better than anticipated at my elite-level Spartan Beast in Utah (14 miles, 30 obstacles, 4500 feet of elevation gain). Tereza C. · inov8.com
