I love these trainers! So comfortable straight out of the box. I have bunions and I am prone to ankle issues but these trainers give me all the support I need with none of the pressure on my bunions! Great traction running on forest trails, love the style and fantastic cushioning. Very light-weight. I would definitely recommend these to everyone! I wear an 8 W

The wide width made a perfect fit! The insole is great and provides orthotic support and the shoe does not seem rub anywhere on my ankle, even when wearing for several miles. I usually have a Hard time finding shoes that have a good support and a wide width, and these are perfect. Best part is that even though they feel orthotic, they don’t look it, they’re cool looking running shoes.

These shoes are great. Due to high arches I tend to walk on the outside edge of my foot which throws my hip out of alignment. These shoes correct that so that I walk normally and don’t hurt after a workout. They look really good as well. I was able to put them on and go for a walk immediately without having to break them in. They fit true to size. Ordered my usual 9 1/2 wide and they fit perfect. Plenty of room for my toes as well. I like them so much that I ordered another pair in a different color.

This is my third pair of Gel-Venture 7 over the last couple of years. Please don't change them. I'm 54 now and my feet are very sensitive. I love these sneakers. They have great support. They are firm, yet soft.

Apparently I have been wearing the wrong size shoe. Decided to try these out. I always read reviews on all products I buy online. These sneakers are so comfortable and lightweight. The color is very nice its blue with pink. I've been wearing them for walking my dogs. When I get home I don't want to take them off they are so comfortable.

I’ve been buying ASICS for many years, and I’m not sure what made these different, but they are the best ASICS I’ve ever owned. They’re very comfortable on every level!

Finally, a pair of shoes that fit me! I have tried 6 other various top of the line brands and had to return them all. I do wear a women's size 11 so I ordered an 11.5 since I do wear arches in my shoes. These Asics are lightweight and perfect in size. I am 100% satisfied. Finding the perfect fit in a shoe for many people is a challenge since everyone's foot is different. My foot is long and narrow but with an orthopedic lift I need some additional room.

I am a nurse. I walk and stand all day. I buy this brand and type every time I need new work shoes. I never have pain in my feet. These are by far the best shoes.

This is my 2nd pair of Gel-Venture 7 shoes. This pair, I put on and went for a walk/jog in them right away. No break in period. These shoes are "trail" shoes, and are slightly wider than the usual ASICS shoe which is why I like these so well. I go to a park with a gravel trail so the wider base of this shoe helps me. The colors on this shoe are nice too, I like bright shoes.

I have very high arches and need solid support. These shoes do a nice job. They are very lightweight and have good toe room. I have ordered special inserts to provide a bit more support for my arches for long walks, but they really do OK the way they are. I was pleasantly surprised. I definitely would order up in size if you are debating. I wear an 8 1/2 or 9 in shoes and ordered the 9. They fit very well but are certainly not too large. I am used to spending much more for quality athletic shoes but was looking for something simple for trial walking. I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort and support. I wore them on a 3 mile walk right out of the box with no issues. I'm pleased.

I have worn ASICS to the gym and walking for a couple of years. My old ones started to wear at the toe where the netting type material is on the top of the shoe. I ordered these because they are very comfortable and the 1/2 size larger leaves me a little room for my toe not to hit the end. Hopefully, these shoes will last me several years. They also are ery nice looking and the price was good. I usually take a 7 1/2 but got an 8.

Now that the gyms are all closed, I had to start walking again, so needed a pair that were good support and cushioned. These were perfect. Fit great, comfortable from the first step.

The fit felt true to the size. However if your flat footed l recommend to add wide with. Other than that comfort and style is great.

I've had Asics for many years because they are the right fit for me and this pair did not disappoint. They may not be the most stylish but they are great for my gym workouts and also offer lateral stability. I'm also glad that they offered in more neutral colors that work with many outfits. All in all, a very versatile shoe.

Love, love, love this shoe! I have not been able to find a sneaker that gives me the support I need during workouts or every day were in so long. Thank you ASICs! They seem a tad wide (I have narrow feet) but I can really cinch them tight. Bonus, the colors are great! If you need a sneak with support, I highly suggest.

I LOVE these! I have flat feet so fit is very important to me, and these do the trick. My only problem is mine are now 3 months old and suddenly the laces keep coming undone. I'm ordering another pair but may replace the laces.

I love the shoes, but ordered the black/ silver color and they are actually dark blue with teal accents. While I love these colors, I was looking for a black shoe. To be fair, the picture of the shoes that I ordered looks just like the ones I received, but they clearly state that they are black and silver, so I thought that the picture was wrong and I ordered them hoping that they were black and silver. Anyway...I will keep them, because they are an attractive, comfortable shoe.

These sneakers are very comfy! I am usually a 7.5W/8W and ordered an 8W. They fit well and do feel like a true wide width. I use them for walking mostly, so not a lot of wear and tear, but they are holding up well. I ordered the Silver/Black - those colors DO NOT appear on these sneakers! lol They are definitely more of a Navy/Dark Purple, which I actually think is cute and which I think the picture kind of reflects. Not sure why they are labeled Silver/Black? Overall, I definitely recommend these sneakers.
