Nuestra conclusión

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.

Who should buy

The ASICS Gel Venture 10 is a solid pick for:

  • Beginners looking for a versatile and cheap option for all outdoor adventures.
  • Trail runners needing one do-it-all shoe that handles different surfaces and offers strong value.
  • Runners wanting a budget-friendly door-to-trail shoe that also works for casual use or travel.

ASICS Gel Venture 10

Who should NOT buy

We believe that the Gel Venture 10 falls short for runners who expect a comfort-focused, protective ride, as it features low shock absorption. From our point of view, if you're looking for a plush-and-protective trail experience, you'd be better off with something like the ASICS Trabuco Max 3.

We’re also convinced that the fit is a deal-breaker for many. The ultra-narrow toebox and tapered silhouette limit this shoe almost exclusively to narrow-footed runners. If you're worried about this, check the Nike Juniper Trail 3 or the ASICS Gel Excite Trail 2.

Shock absorption

Nuevo

Through our ASTM F1976 test, we found that the Gel Venture 10 goes against current industry trends. Instead of following the super-cushy, maximalist wave dominating the trail market, it sticks to a more classic build. That’s why shock absorption is quite limited at 105 SA in the heel, making it better suited for casual hikes, or relaxed weekend jogs.

Energy return

Nuevo

The Gel Venture delivers a muted ride with just 52.8% energy return, but that’s exactly what we expect from a budget-friendly shoe built with cost-cutting in mind.

The real question is: does performance matter to you? If not, then don't worry that much about this.

Altura de la suela en la zona del talón

The Gel Venture 10 aligns with market trends by increasing its stack height compared to its predecessor. In this 10th edition, we measured 35.3 mm in the heel, a 2 mm bump from version 9.

However, it still feels like a shoe designed with mass appeal in mind, aiming to suit as many runners and hikers as possible.

The forefoot also sees a modest increase, now reaching 23.3 mm of stack height. Still, we believe that heavyweight forefoot strikers might not find it to be the most suitable option.

Drop

The difference between these two measurements gives us a real 12.0 mm drop. Once again, that's not ideal for forefoot strikers.

On the other hand, this setup fits the shoe’s beginner-friendly purpose, as in our experience, most entry-level trail runners tend to land on their heels.

Suavidad de la mediasuela

The Amplifoam midsole has been reformulated and now registers just 16.5 HA, making it 32% softer than before. This drastic shift brings a more cushioned and comfort-first ride that feels noticeably plusher underfoot.

It’s a welcome change for most runners, as the previous version leaned too firm compared to what we’re now used to in both modern trail models and road running shoes.

Rocker

The Gel Venture 10 lacks a pronounced rocker, which once again reinforces its beginner-friendly design. There’s only a subtle curve in both the forefoot and heel.

Gel

The Gel tech in the midsole is reduced to a tiny, barely-there green piece hidden beneath the insole that got revealed when we sliced the shoe. It’s not very noticeable (unlike PureGEL in the Nimbus 27) and feels more like ASICS added it just to keep the “Gel” label alive rather than for real function.

Anchura / Ajuste

The Gel Venture 10 leans toward a narrow fit overall—something we noticed right after putting it on, even before running our custom gel method to measure the actual dimensions. Once we completed the test, we confirmed it: 92.7 mm in the widest part, which is well below the average.

This shoe won’t fit most feet, as the toebox is extremely tapered. We carefully measured it at just 67.5 mm—one of the narrowest we've ever recorded. And even though wide sizes are available in some markets like USA, we believe it mainly suits runners with narrow feet.

If there’s one word that defines the lugs on the Gel Venture 10, it’s versatility.

ASICS skipped aggressive, deep lugs for muddy trails, and that feels like a smart move. We found 3.7 mm lugs that work great on moderate terrain while still offering enough bite for the occasional technical section you’ll likely encounter.

The ASICS Gel Venture 10 sports a two-piece segmented outsole with a rugged layout. Its arrow-shaped lugs are strategically positioned with larger and rear-facing in the heel for braking, and smaller in the forefoot to support climbing and push-off movements.

Peso

In our Gel Venture 9 review, we hoped ASICS would trim some weight, as its 11.1 oz (314g) felt a bit too much. Unfortunately, it went the opposite direction: this new version climbs to 11.4 oz or 322g.

Transpirabilidad

The previous Gel Venture 9 already performed well in warm weather, and ASICS stuck with a similar approach in the Venture 10. The updated engineered mesh upper scores the smae 4/5 in breathability.

Not much light passes through, which shows ASICS isn't relying on ventilation holes for airflow. That said, it’s a common trait among trail shoes.

We discovered with our digital microscope that ASICS upgraded the upper using a thinner mesh and a tougher, cross-woven pattern.

This multi-directional design allows same air to pass through while improving durability compared to the previous single-yarn setup.

Overall, it's a clear step forward—especially impressive at this budget-friendly price point.

Estabilidad

Prueba de estabilidad lateral

The Gel Venture 10 feels slightly less stable than its predecessor due to the softer Amplifoam midsole update. However, the change isn’t drastic, and the added comfort will likely be a fair trade-off for most runners, especially since the moderately-thick stack height contributes to a confidence-boosting ride.

Rigidez torsional

Because of the thick rubber layer protecting both the foam and your feet—especially important given the lack of a rock plate—torsional rigidity reached a solid 4/5 on our scale.

This was one of the most crucial issues for ASICS to address in the Gel Venture series, as the previous model scored a dismal 1/5—shockingly poor for a trail shoe. Thankfully, ASICS resolved it with the new mesh, now scoring a solid 4/5 in our Dremel test.

Acolchado de la lengüeta

One of the reasons for the weight increase on this shoe is that ASICS seeked to add a bit of comfort by adding more thickness to the tongue. Now it's at 8.5 mm, and we're not sure if this was strictly needed to be honest.

ASICS Gel Venture 10 lacing

The lacing system on this shoe combines classic punched eyelets at the top with a pair of bright orange textile loops below, stitched directly onto the upper. These loops reduce pressure points across the instep and enhance midfoot lockdown.

As with most shoes under 100 bucks, the tongue isn’t attached to the sides. That’s a downside for trail use, as it makes it easier for small debris or sand to sneak inside.
