Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 7

They look and feel great at first but after about 4 months the support was completely gone. You get what you pay for. Going back to Hokas.

I do like the style and support of this shoe, but after several 12 hour shifts on my feet, there's an annoying 'rub' on the left heel which I had hoped would work itself out, but it persists. I have tried to wear thicker socks, put a heel insert in, but it's still there. Since it isn't happening on the right, I assume it's a factory defect. Pity because they are nice shoes otherwise. Too late to return since I've worn them at least 40 hours at work.

Sorry that I have to return these shoes, but the tongues of the shoes are large and so stiff that they scratch against my foot. Also, I've never had to order up to such a larger size before, definitely run small.

Went by the suggested size guide and the sneakers are too big.

They were not comfortable. I tried 2 different arch supports in these, the ones I use in all my shoes. Nothing worked with these. I am very disappointed with the shoes. Zappos customer service is awesome, as always!

I've worn previous versions of this style for running and they worked well for me, but for some reason this version of the shoe doesn't offer enough cushion for my toes. I think this shoe is lighter, which some people might prefer, but I'm missing some support. After running with them my toes hurt painfully.

I returned them because the heel was too loose. My feet were slipping up with each step.

Disappointed with Asics. The Gel 6 was so comfortable. The padding on 7 is aggressive. Returned.

These shoes are far "bulkier" in person than they seemed online - they look like a beefy trail running shoe, which is not the look I was going for, so I returned them.

Feels more stiff and firm than other Asics I have had.

These shoes run small. I'm a size 11, but these shoes are smaller than other asics size 11 shoes. I had to order up to 11.5

This is the worst gel Asice I’ve ever worn! And I’ve worn gel Asics for about 30 years now. Absolutely NO arch support. Hurts my back to walk in them.

I was really hoping that I could get back into Asics, but they are as narrow now as they were 25 years ago. Which is a bummer, because they are a great looking shoe.

I ordered 1/2 size larger and ordered a wide. They felt small and too tight. Returning.

I ordered 9.5 and was too big. 9.5 in Brooks fits. I guess my size depends on brand.

Have been wearing these for a couple of days now. My heel and arch are very sore. I average about 4 miles a day, these are just not going to work.

I am replacing these after just 2 mos of wear. I walked on average 1 mile a day on asphalt. I am usually an asics fan but expect more longevity. They feel flat now and quit a bit too early for my liking.
