Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 7

Too tight overall and even worse with socks on.

I always wear Asics as they are comfortable and well made. The pair I received was not in an Asics box which leads me to believe that they were a return. They were comfortable but the left sneaker squeaked so they are being returned.

Turned out to be not very comfortable. The foot bed has little cushion and my feet got tired quickly.

Arch support = Non-existent , Padding= BAD. I now have pressure point pain on the bottom of my big toe...feels like the bone is bruised. Worst shoe I've ever purchased from Asics.

I usually buy Asics because they have a narrower heel. These don’t. So my heel pops up when I walk and drags my socks down. I don’t want to have to use the locking method every time I put on sneaks for casual wear.

These sneakers were really uncomfortable and strangely, even though they felt too tight, my feet would slide around in them. The inner stitching along the top was not smooth with the result that my big toe would occasionally get caught on the seam. I started to despise the sneakers so threw them away.

NO arch support, NO heal support, NO contouring for pronation. Nothing on the inside of the shoe is worth the price. Very disappointed - have worn Assics for years, did not expect worthless insole. I probably could buy and put in a real insole - but why? They should be provided with the shoes... Returned. Laces were terrible too.

AT first I liked the fit of these shoes, but after just a month of wearing them I feel like they’ve broken down already. I wear these for work and the walks around the block with the dogs. I love ASICS and it’s my go to for every day wear and running shoes. I never ran in these though. I love the styling and the color but at the end of the day I’m disappointed in these shoes.

These sneakers were not a true wide and they felt a bit stiff on my feet therefore I am returning them

These shoes offer absolutely no arch support. Cute shoes but I had to return.

I have worn ASICS for years always a size 9. This was almost a full size too small. It also looked like an orthopedic shoe vs a athletic shoe.

Unfortunately these shoes did not have enough padding throughout the whole foot. For a long distance walking it was not comfortable.

Loved the colors: NAVY not black Can’t say how many ASICS I’ve owned over the years and only had 1 other this hard inside. Not the comfortable gel I love. These were the narrowest ASICS I’ve ever tried as well. My feet are getting more arthritic and this type ASICS was recommended. Don’t think so! Returning and Going for another model ASICS :-(

I had two pairs of the Asics Gel-Venture 6 and really liked them. I just got the v7, and I will be returning them. Outwardly the v6 and v7 don't look that different, but there are several small tweaks. The seam where the upper connects to the midsole doesn't seem very sturdy because I can see the line of glue going all the way around the shoe (if you know to look for it, you can see the glue seam if you zoom in closely on the photos, especially around the toe cap). The new shoelaces are terrible, too thin for running shoe, that look and feel like they are cutting into the tongue and eye holes. The lacing system is a bit different, and combined with the laces, does not seem as sturdy or as comfortable (and putting old laces into new shoes didn't fix the problem). On the plus side, the shoe seems slightly lighter than v6 and Asics added the extra hole at the top so you can tie a lace lock if needed.

Fid not like fit or feel of cushioning. Not comfortable.

This shoe fits like a 6.5 more than a true 7. They are also slippery on the bottom, so it's tricky to walk on a treadmill!! Overall, a disappointment. Just because these were "lower priced" sneakers, doesn't mean that I should've had NO expectations for comfort or performance.

Ouch! I've worn Asics for years and these caused blisters on the heel. Smaller toe box too (size 11). Going back!
