The GEL-VENTURE 8 (Wide) running shoe is designed for the great outdoors. Excellent for trail runs, light hiking or exploring a new city, this style is complemented with a wide fit for runners who require less width in their footwear. This model has been updated with a more accommodating forefoot fit, while reducing the amount of overlays around the forefoot without sacrificing durability. Lastly, the outsole is more durable with a traction pattern that's been improved with re-engineered lugs under the heel. All of these updates make the new GEL-VENTURE 8 (Wide) shoe a recommended companion for your next adventure.
