Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 7

Good fit. I wear between a 14 & 15. The 14’s were snug but the 15’s felt great!

I prefer to wear a minimalist shoe most of the time for general wear, usually Merrell. But I plan on doing a heavier load of work on the treadmill, so I was looking for something with a little more support. I used to wear ASICS years ago and they always fit my foot pretty well. After some research, I decided to give these GEL-Venture 7's a try. They felt great right out of the box! As soon as I slipped my feet into them could feel the generous support in the arches, and the soles have plenty of cushioning without feeling too mushy. Flexing the shoes in my hands right out of the box, I was worried that they would be too stiff when I put them on. (Of course, I'm used to the extreme flexibility of a minimalist shoe.) This was not the case. There is plenty of flex in the shoe to allow for comfortable movement. I read a couple reviews that said the laces were thin and weak. I don't find that to be the case at all. They are thinner, but I've had a lot of shoes with this type of thin lace and it's never been a problem. I have a narrow heel, so I need to lace the shoe all the way to the top to draw my heel back. The laces are just the right length to tie when fully laced.

my 3rd pair of gel ventures, as usual they are soft and cushiony....I love them. Much more comfortable/cushiony than a pair of GT 2000 7 s I recently purchased for $90. These are great value!

The shoe fits perfectly. I am an average size 14. They are comfortable all day long. They are almost an all terrain shoe. They look like they will hold up for a year. The style isn't the most current, but for ~$50 they are perfect. These will be my daily comfort/running driver forever going forward.

I am very picky about shoes and have always stuck with New Balance. I've found though that the newer New Balance shoes don't fit well, actually being borderline uncomfortable for me. I typically try on a dozen pairs when looking for new shoes but, to my surprise stopped on #3 when I tried on these Asics! They were the right fit out of the box and I look forward to putting them on every day. Thank you Zappos for these - just what I needed!

Love the look and the fit. I would improve the shoelaces. They are a little weak.

I was very impressed the shoes fit really like the style and they were very comfortable.

Very happy with these. I have bought many pairs.

ASICS are always a great fit.

Good shoe. Have several pairs of ASICS - I like the way they fit my feet and they're always comfortable. Bought this pair for Fall.

Good for what I need.

Fit was spot on and comfort wise can’t be beat for wearing to work on my feet all day. They wear well and for the money can’t be beat. This is my 4th pair in this style.

Love this newest model. Heaven on my feet.

Unbelievably light and airy. Very comfortable and I've already washed them after dirty yard work and they dried almost instantly.

Fits as expected, not a lot of arch support But I have high arches The shoe material is breathable and extremely light I work in a busy emergency room and am on my feet for 13 hours at a time These shoes provide great support and comfort I use an arch support insert

I've been wearing Asics shoes for over 10 years. I bought the Venture 6 three years ago to run in but found other uses for it. I wore the shoe to bike and to play golf in and it's perfect for those sports. I liked the shoe so much I decided to try the Venture 7. It's met all my expectations and he color combo is appealing. Very satisfied!

I bought my first pair of Asics from Zappos six years ago and they were excellent! I recently bought a replacement pair and returned them as the fit and materials were not what I was expecting. Shame on me for not researching them thoroughly. Zappos handled my return with no issues, and that is how I got to these shoes today. These Asics are excellent for what I bought them for, an everyday walking shoe. They look good, feel good and fit true to size. Zappos service was as it always is, Spot On! They are my go-to shoe source.

Correct size as the store had but cheaper.

Bought for the boyfriend..he's very happy with them!

They fit perfectly - ordered my usual size, no surprises. I was, however, surprised at the support - very cushion-y. I bought these for walking/running and they're just right. Will be ordering them again.
