With Amazon Prime Day 2023 officially in the books, procrastinators everywhere are searching for the best residual deals on shoes, accessories, home goods, and more. Sometimes brands will extend a discounted product beyond the Prime Day window as an offer to those who couldn’t get in on the 48-hour storm of sales. That includes the Asics Gel-Venture 8 running shoe, which is still on sale starting at $51 just hours after the close of the event.

Men’s Journal readers flocked toward this specific pair of running shoes during the Amazon Prime Day sale. It had been marked down to $40 at the time — an absolute steal. But even today, at its current price, it’s still a bargain for a dependable style from one of the most trusted running brands.

Few, if any, shoes made by Asics are bad. It mainly depends on a person’s unique anatomy. But the Gel-Venture 8 is a style that suits most feet. Available in D and EE widths (extra wide), this baseline Asics running shoe is a solid match for neutral and underpronating landings for those with normal or high arches. It provides excellent shock absorption to decrease joint stress upon impact, thanks to the GEL technology.

Additionally, the Gel-Venture 8 is technically a trail running shoe with an incredibly detailed traction pattern on the sole and heel. That makes this shoe a great companion for earthy or rocky trail walks or light hiking. Despite the lug sole, it is just as effective for neighborhood running or simple walking and provides the level of comfort expected from Asics shoes regardless of the terrain.

The Asics Gel-Venture 8 is available on Amazon in over 20 neutral and exciting colors. The black with red, the favorite of many MJ readers, can still be purchased on sale starting at $51 for a limited time.
