Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 7

Accurate fit and good comfort/style.

Great shoe for the price. I’m not an extreme runner it’s perfect for beginner to moderate runner.

Comfortable shoe. Work all day no problem.

Overall this is a good shoe for the basic Asics footwear line and price. I prefer to buy the higher-end gel model Asics shoes because they have a lot more support and comfort. However, at this time my finances are tighter than normal and I had to downgrade to these basic Asics.

these are for work, I stand up to 10 hours so good shoes are very important to me. These are good shoes

These were great except for the skimpy shoelaces. Also, I felt I needed a shoe horn to get in the shoes. So unlike earlier Asics. Sent them back.

As always, Asics comes through with comfortable and supportive shoes. Although the arch support is pretty good, I have really high arches and switch out the liner for Abeo liners for extra support. I like that the sizing stays true and I can order them instead of going shopping.

I’m primarily using a treadmill right now. When I move into a jog/run, I feel my heels slip around a bit more than I like. (To be fair, this shoe is for trail running.) Have yet to try lacing them differently which may help. Otherwise very comfortable.

These are very comfortable with plenty of support. Comfortable right out of the box. Very cushy footbed. Ordered the black/silver, but it is actually navy blue mentioned in other reviews. I like the navy color though.

sneakers are good; flat shoelaces are horrible - they slip when trying to tie and if sideways you can feel them cutting into the tongue at the tie (bad design)

Hard to find shoe for me in 10.5. Never wore size wide. Needed wide in this shoe. Hope back heel ok; otherwise i think it is great for the price.

very comfortable

I am in need of walking shoes that are supportive for suppination, and these came up when I searched for such. Now, I have short, frog-shaped feet...narrow heel, wide toe and high arch. Generally wear a 6.5 - 7 W or WW. When these arrived, I put on the left foot...oh, very nice. I was hopeful. Put on the right shoe and it pinched my little toe a bit (to be fair, I broke that toe 40ish years ago and it is a little non-standard). But the more I walked around in them, the more it rubbed on the toe and pinched in my forefoot. I also have Morton's Neuromas, and the toe box was putting just enough pressure on that toe that I felt the pinch in the middle. I was sad, because the length was perfect and the soles were comfy and supportive. But I couldn't deal with the potential painful pinching. I took them off and tried them again later, but the pinching set in even quicker. They were very, very close...but just didn't work.

Comfortable right out of the box. These shoes are a good basic walking/running shoe with good cushion and support. No break in period needed

Fit and size very accurate. Light weight, good support, and nice quality Really happy with these sneakers.

I ordered these in my usual size of 8.5 medium width. The shoes themselves look nice and are very comfortable. Unfortunately I have an issue with the right shoe - it's a bit too wide for my foot. This is the first time I've had this problem with Asics. 8.5 is always a little big on my feet but size 8 is always too small. Too bad manufacturers don't make 1/4 sizes.

Fit perfectly

Perfect fit

true to size. love the color. I walk 3 miles per day-very comfortable

Typical Asics Fit ( I wear a 9 in other shoes, 9 1/2 in Asics ). Show is a bit stiff, but it is breaking in. Good overall fit. Will be a good walking shoe. Overall a good value for Asics.

overall I liked these shoes, but for me the Asics Excite 6 just was a bit more comfortable. The heel padding and the padding in the shoe was just slightly better. If you like a bit firmer - or maybe if you are more of a runner, then these may be better. I am getting shoes for walking, so I kept the Excite 6 instead.

These shoes are true size they don’t slide on my narrow heel. It’s more navy blue than black.

I wear a size 9.5 Wide in the Gel-Venture 6. I ordered this shoe (Gel-Venture 7) in the same size. Compared to the Gel-Venture 6, the Gel-Venture 7 toe bed runs narrow.

I gave the ASICS Gel-Venture 7 a try to switch up my go to Onitsuka Tigers - Ultimate 81and New Balance WL574. For my wide feet that like good arch support the Gel-Venture 7 were great. I found the toe box a little wider than the Ultimate 81and a bit longer than the NBWL574. The arch support was not quite as good as the Ultimate 81, similar to the NBWL574. I liked the color combo black and silver(not a true black or silver, looks like the picture online).

What a great shoe! Love it!
