Expert Review Sources

  • iRunFar : 76.0 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 12 mm drop and weighing 322 g, the ASICS Gel Venture 10 locks the foot down securely on steep descents while preserving muscular energy over long hours (a 12 mm drop). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on trail make it a standout contender at $80. »
  • RunRepeat : 76.6 / 100 — « The ASICS Gel Venture 10 brings unbeatable bang for your buck with its durable build and go-anywhere feel. We found that the midsole feels noticeably softer than the previous version, keeping a steady ride even on rough terrain. However, ASICS failed to make it lighter (in fact, it’s heavier) and the fit only works for those with narrow feet. »
  • OutdoorGearLab : 73.3 / 100 — « Pairing ASICS's ASICS proprietary foam platform with a 12 mm drop, the Gel Venture 10 holds its own against top trail & montagne rivals thanks to its resilient ASICS proprietary foam platform. A smart choice for runners looking for a 12 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
