Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 7

I am extremely happy with this shoe. I was concerned when I learned that the Venture 6 I was so fond of was discontinued and Asics now offered the 7. I have been very disappointed before when a 'new' model of shoes has been offered but I decided to order anyway. These are better than the 6! I LOVE the change in laces. I was skeptical when I first saw them because they are super thin - like ribbon thin. These laces are the best I have ever tried - the never come untied and are very easy to tighten. I have been wearing these shoes for 2 weeks now and I am on my feet constantly in general life and walk several miles every day. So far they are extremely comfortable. I love the look of them, too. Highly recommend.

Great shoes. Very happy with them. I added my own arch supports?

This shoe fits perfectly and is true to size. The laces are a bit thin compared to the previous two Asics shoes I purchased. Love the color and the feel.

Have worn these for 2 days, the fit seems perfect and true to size and they are very comfortable. These feel like they will hold up to my moderate exercise routine as well as upcoming travel with lots of walking tours. Feel sturdy and appear to be well made. Very pleased with my purchase.

This is a nice shoe; I like the color, and the sizer felt right. I don't know where ASICS is getting their laces now, though, because the old styles had much better ones. The ones that came with this shoe are much thinner and cheaper-feeling. I am considering buying other laces to wear this shoe.

So these were about the tenth pair of sneakers I had bought in the last 6 weeks, all the others went back. They ranged from $50-150. I don’t think price matters when trying to find the best, as these were inexpensive and the winners. I have bunions in both feet and a former plantar fasciitis in one heel. And I’m a size 11 1/2. All hard finds for the most style, comfort and durability. Zappos return policy is the best they make it very easy.

Loved it! Great value for the price

I ordered the grey/pink color after deciding the black was too manly looking for me. I am in love with these shoes. Thank you, Asics, for making 1/2 sizes, which I definitely need in a running shoe. These are perfect and so was the price!

I never usually buy shoes online because I have to try them on. I took a chance on buying these and I'm glad I did. The fit is perfect! I'm so happy with my purchase. Very comfortable too.

Size was true and fits well. Very comfortable and would recommend.

I like this shoe. I am a "walker" and need support. This shoe is a bit larger in the width, but that is no problem. It's going into winter and I will wear heavier socks. The only problem I have is that the laces are fairly flimsy. I need stronger laces to lace up the extra width.

The shoes were great. I usually do 9-12,000 steps in a 10 hour shift. These shoes were comfortable for my entire shift.

Gel-Venture7 bought size 8 and they fit very well. Previous pair Gel-Contend5 had size 7,5 (they are softer and size also was good).

Haven’t worn them for a long period of time but think they will be comfortable.

Was the correct size as the store but cheaper.

I am a dedicated Asics fan. Bought this pair to replace another Asics style that was past it's prime. I love the padded tongue and the laces that are just the right length. This to me is more comfortable than my old pair of the Gel Venture 6. Wish I had them on my last international trip when I did a lot of walking. Highly recommend this style.

Super comfortable shoes for workouts in the gym and aerobics. Great fit with no breaking in needed. Great lateral support and cushioning. Nice color and design. Highly recommend!

After ordering at least 6 different pair of athletic shoes from Zappos, I found gel-venture-7. I can wiggle my toes, the arch is in the right place, and the fit is just right! Finally!

I really like these shoes. I purchased Nike's in the past, but I won't purchase Nike's again. I need good support especially in 'running shoes'. I will probably purchase Asics in the future.

These are attractive shoes that fit like a dream right out of the box. I'm a 7.5 slightly wide, that's what I ordered, and that's what I got. The shoes are more navy than black, which I liked. As for comfort - I struggle with neuroma in the front of my feet and after having the shoes on for a long period of time, they seemed to set that off a bit, but that could be because they're still new and I had them on all day. I would definitely order these again.

I wear a 9 wide width and these shoes are a good fit and similar to New Balance which is my typical go to walk, hike, run shoe but so far so good with these shoes. First ASICS but for me. I will consider again.

I love ASICS! These shoes are great for my gym workout. I do the bike and circuit training and they are comfortable as always. Only thing is they are navy blue, not black, which is perfect because that’s what I wanted. Great delivery service getting the next day!!

Very comfortable show with good support for walking/jogging. I keep going back to ASICS for comfort!!

These sneakers live up to the Asics comfort and style. I love that they are lightweight but have good cushioning and arch support. The sole is flexible enough for running but thick enough for trail hikes. Love the pop of color!
