Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 7

Were too short.

Heal is a little short. If shoes aren’t tied tight I felt like they slipped a little in the back. Sole has good cushion. Design is cool.

My biggest issue was the lack of arch support. Also, they are also pretty ugly in person. They seemed comfortable and true to size otherwise.

These are good shoes. Generally I look for bright shoes and these are pretty nice, though the color isn't as bright in real life as I was hoping. The grips on the bottom of the shoes are not good for rainy weather-- I've found this out after wearing them for only a few days, but in terms of traction on regular surfaces they're pretty good. Also the cushioning in the soles is really nice for someone like me who feels the impact of the ground often. The shoes aren't quite as breathable as I would have hoped for but overall the shoes are great for the price and I would recommend them if someone was looking.

I wear ASICS exclusively for my gym sessions. They last a long time and look fashionable. I have to wear wide shoes which I don’t always find available.

These shoes needed a bit of breaking in; at first, I seemed to feel the edge of the insole but after wearing them a couple of different times...maybe with thicker socks...it is no longer noticeable. I typically wear a 6.5 - 7 W to WW; these shoes do not come in a WW but based on the reviews that said the toe box was roomy I took a chance w/ a 7 W. It has JUST enough room in it. There is plenty of cushioning for walking; it's not an 'ah!' moment when I put my feet in but it is certainly adequate for the price point. Good basic shoes; we'll see how they hold up.

These shoes do not have arch support. They are stylish and comfortable but if you need arch support, these probably are not for you. They also felt about a half size too small compared to how other asics shoes fit me.

They feel fine and I wear them for things like shopping trips. The insoles are glued in however and I cannot use my orthotics in them. I'm afraid to wear them for exercise.

These ran a full size smaller than my usual size and were not as comfortable as I hoped after reading reviews. Exchanged for GT 1000 and they were more comfortable for me.

I like the shoes but must order .5 size larger. Great with my custom orthotics!

I think they are good overall but not sure they have enough support on the ball of the foot and arch area to be the right walking shoe for me

The gel cushioning in these shoes is very comfortable. But I bought a half size larger than usual, and there's not as much room for the toes as there's been in Asics shoes I've purchased in the past. I'll keep them. They're only slightly snug. But I'm sorry they're not quite as comfortable as before.

I have had Asic Gel shoes before in a size 10W and these appear to be about a half size smaller when compared to the other pair. They are attractive and I agree that they are more dark navy than black. They were out of size 101/2 D or I would have reordered them. I had to go to another style. The shoe laces are indeed quite flimsy and I am not sure if they will last long but they are an attractive shoe which I like in an athletic shoe.

I have been wearing ASICS Gels for my long narrow feet and like their fit. However, they don't seem to be lasting like they used to. They seem to get worn out quite quickly as of late.

These sneakers look cool and are comfortable. They are slightly wider than previously purchased ASICS but so far so good!

Amending review from November 10. This shoe did work for the toe box size as it was a Wide width, but as I wore it around the house for a day, it was rubbing on the side of my heel areas causing my foot to be sore, most likely due to the width being too wide for the back part of my foot. I was disappointed because I have worn Asics in the past in the regular width, but can't anymore because they have reduced the size of the toe box. I had to return these and now try to figure out what brand to try next! Zappos is great to work with though!

The shoe fits well and has good cushioning but I like a little arch support which it doesn't have.

Asics have shrunk their sizing. I’ve always worn size 10 and now it doesn’t fit.

Hoping the half size bigger will fit. Too short
