Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 7

This has been a go-to sneaker for me, and I was very disappointed in what seems a major change in the overall cushioning (not arch support). I don't see many other reviews indicating this, so perhaps it was an outlier, but I put them side by side my other GEL-Venture and it was a noticeable difference. They were true to size (6.5), fit comfortably, and I LOVE the color/style! (Sheet Rock/Ice Mint), but I won't use them for sustained standing or walking. They are super lightweight so I kept them for use with a stationary bike, elliptical, and puttering around the house.

These run short in the toe box. Too bad because they are a cute shoe but I will be sending them back and buying a different brand that is more supportive and comfortable.

I had to send these shoes back because they had a narrow toe box and felt tight on my size 9 foot.

Fit and size perfect. Only complaint....shoelaces do not stay tied securely

Fit well and are comfortable.

The fit & comfort was great.

Shoes seem to run a little small. I’m normally a 6/6.5, and ordered a 6.5. Probably should’ve gone up to a 7. Nice support. Sturdy shoe. I have bad feet and a bad back and they are good for my body type.

Bought for outdoor Pickleball, previously wore NB leather court shoe. Great traction, worn 2 weeks, so far seems to provide enough lateral support to avoid rolled ankle. I have plantar fasciitis so i need a small silicon arch support, with that added the support is very good. Would purchase again, price is good, pickleball is tough on sneakers!

I loved these shoes and wanted to keep them, but they were too narrow. That is the first time I ever returned an athletic shoe because it was too narrow. Boo!

Nice fit, bold colors. Love my new sneaks!

Style fit well except I stepped out of it just a bit in the back. Can't go any smaller or toe will hit the front of the shoe.

I have wide feet and a high instep. I ordered 8 1/2 W and they fit the bill perfectly. I also have a narrow heel, so the lace-ups work great. Thanks for the great customer service Zappos!!

Good shoe

So comfortable. I love them!

I have worn a lot of ASICS for work. I got the same size as I normally do and these came feeling a bit longer and definitely wider than I am used to. Not enough to send them back but these won't be my favorite.

Cute which is not easy to find in running shoes. I have somewhat high arches and these have almost no arch support. They are on the stiff side which I like for trails. I am buying some high arch insoles. For someone who wants a very cushioned squishy shoe - this is not it. For those who pronate and need support - this shoe fits the bill.

It fit, but felt clunky. My big toe was too close to the end and I didn't like the thickness of the tongue. Something was just off about it.

Full caveat: this review is biased because I wore orthotics in the shoe, removing the original foot bed. The comfort level of the shoes was perfect, but after taking a 7 mile walk around the area on sidewalks, my feet and legs ached. My belief is that it isn't the shoe, but it's the combination of my orthotics with the shoes. I am returning this product. In the past I have worn Brooks shoes with orthotics, I may just go back to them.
