Does not look like the pictures. Very green and an ugly green at that. Disappointed as they don't feel the same. I have a pair in a different color and they are not the same shoe (gel venture 7). I've ran in them already and they are pretty bad quality.

What happened Asics? You used to have great quality shoes. This shoe is small, order at least a full size larger than what you normally wear. Overall it is a cheap shoe. There is not a lot of cushion or support for arches, shoe laces are cheaply made, I have only worn these shoes for about 2 weeks when working out and they are already worn out looking. Recommend a different shoe maybe a different brand.

I've had several pairs of the exact sneakers and love them. However, this pair had to be returned as they ran short, as in length, toes had no room! When I put them against another pair of the same, they actually were physically shorter despite the same size printed inside! Go figure! ASICS worked with me on the return & full refund, and I placed another order, which these were just fine. :)

I've had previous years Venture 7 and they were great, support and fit. But this years version is awful! The fit is tight, true to size but tight. I just bought this pair last month and I got blisters and my feet were so sore. I got aches in my shins and back. I will never buy the gel-venture 7 again. I love asics but whatever changes were made to this shoe were wrong. I do not recommend stay away.

Used to buying more expensive Asics. These failed in comparison. Look good, but no arch support and flimsy-thin cushioning in soles.

I wear size 9W but these shoes were shorter and narrower than my usual brand. Unable to evaluate the arch support.

These run small. I've worn Asics for years in a 9 women's but these are small. I didn't realize until I'd worn them so I guess I'm stuck. I really wanted to love these shoes but I can't wear them.

This is a nice looking shoe that had good reviews. Unfortunately, my 9.5 wide foot couldn't get in it. It was too small in width, even after I had taken the shoelaces off. I will keep looking!

These are completely falling apart since about the 2 month mark. Not worth ordering. I should've gotten another brand that costs more and lasts longer.

I always buy this sneaker but this one was much smaller fit than my usual 7.5 size. I am very disappointed, gave me blisters on the tops of my toes!

The issue is my feet are changing to wider and longer after my entire adult life being a 5.5 medium width. It is not the sneakers. This sneaker was my 2nd of 3 brands I've tried that did not fit. Brands vary and this show was my 2nd of 3 three tries with different brands. I appreciate Zappos and will keep trying.

I have worn asics exclusively for the last 15 years. I’ve been wearing this pot since February. All of the sudden I can’t wear them. They chew up the back of my ankles to the point of drawing blood. I have applied blister band aids and they tear them off. I even have purchased the blister stick, nothing works.

These sneakers always feel and look too loose in the heel area. I buy a medium width because my feet are wide at the toes.

I am very disappointed in these shoes. I have always been a fan of Asics and bought these to replace my 2 year old pair of Gel venture 6's. I bought the 7's (based on good reviews) little over a month ago and already they are showing wear that my previous pair of Venture 6's took a year to show. Within a week of having them the stitching started to come out, a few days ago I noticed that the inside material where my heel goes is already tearing (untie them when taking them when taking them off so there isn't excessive rubbing going on) They also hurt my feet...I have high arches and where the 6's gave me enough support...the 7's do not.

I love asiscs and have opened multiple pairs over the years. I work in the medical field so I'm on my feet almost all day. These were the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn. The pain was mostly in my heels. I even tried buying gel inserts.

Feels too wide. Originally ordered 7.5 but were too small, so I ordered a size 8 and it's too wide. They hurt my feet.

These shoes are comfortable and I've enjoyed wearing them, but after only ten months of use the soles are so worn down that I will have to discard them.

It depends on the thickness of the socks I wear with them. Will NOT be ordering another pair.

Not happy! Make note Zappos, the inner soles in this shoe are NOT removable! I repeat NOT removable. They're going back.

I have purchased this brand in the past and this sneaker is the most uncomfortable sneaker I've ever owned. They run a half size small and Zappos recommended I go up a 1/2 size which was great, however, walking around my home I felt they were slightly big so I ordered my true size. A mistake they were too small. So I kept the bigger size and went on a 2 mile walk. By the time I got back the balls of my feet ached terribly and I could hardly walk in my bare feet. These shoes have no comfort at all. I love the style color and look but they are awful. Do not waste your money.

My feet slide to the front of the shoe and crunch my toes. I have bought Asics shoes for many years, and these are a very cheap version of them. The have less cushion than the shoes I've been wearing for the last 8 months. Everything about them is low quality. It's like they're knockoffs.

Garbage. What happened to you ASICS company? I've worn ASICs for years and this is a horrible shoe. It says it's a GEL shoe, but there is no support; I can feel the ground through the sole of the shoe; the cushion in the insole feels like cheap foam rubber. I have an old pair of ASICs GEL Kayano (which are, alas no longer manufactured) and those have better support and GEL than these new ones. So disappointed.
