Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 7

Regretful purchase. This is the cheapest show I have ever bought on Zappos. I thought they were decent, wore them inside if I needed to exchange. Felt good at first, went outside and realized I’d spent money on garbage. They wouldn’t last three months of walking. That’s what I needed at a decent price range. Things have changed and ASICS quality has vanished. What can you do with this shoe. I’m stuck with it and now have to purchase another at some point in time. Do not buy these shoes. Waste of money and could injure your feet.

I'm 6.5 Regular....6 Wide .... this 6.5 were huge! I compared with my used one (exactly same shoe) and this one looked bulky and about 1"1/2 longer. I was surprised and disappointed because the reviews says TRUE TO SIZE. Returned.

When I bought these shoes I assumed they would be good for moderate exercise. Not jogging but walking and some strength training. Unfortunately they are the cheapest shoes I’ve ever bought for almost $50.00. At first the felt comfortable. That was wrong. I even gave them another try today. They look nice but after you wear them you realize they are a small step above a Walmart shoe. By the way, I had to buy a pair of Walmart shoes and I’d gladly wear those rather than these particular shoes. The cushion in the shoe isn’t removable so you can put a more comfortable insert. I am so irritated that I bought these cheap shoes that are unusable. I am mortified at the way these shoes are made with inferior materials. I’m now going fork out more money another pair of quality shoes. Unfortunately not everybody has more to spend on another pair of shoes. It is not Zappos’s fault for offering this shoe for purchase but hopefully they will take into consideration at the quality of which they offer. The other thing to consider is that not to long ago you could get a quality pair of tennis shoes within your budget. This tells me that I am going to be much more selective at what I buy.

This shoe was very tight for an wide. They were very uncomfortable

I'm sure these are really great if you can find your right size (the insoles seem amazingly comfy and supportive) but I ordered an 11B and these were NO MORE than a 8.5B. The tag reads correctly but the shoe was nowhere near the right size. Hopefully a fluke. Fabric, styling, and construction all look like all my other pairs of ASICS running shoes.

Felt like I was wearing cheap foam shoes, and the "laces" are string that cuts thru the foam into my foot. I was so disappointed. Got 2 pairs in different colors exact same size and while one pair is a little too narrow and actually cause some pain in the sides and heels of my feel, the other pair is a little to big. I've been wearing and loving GEL-Venture 6 for a few years so the difference was a big disappointment, even more so since the GEL-Venture 6 is no longer available.

Shoes are very uncomfortable and there is no support.

Love the color but the shoe was so tight I couldn't even get in on to see how comfortable it was. There was no way I could even get my arch supports in.

Unfortunately ASICS shoes seem to be narrower with a tight toe box. Never had issues before. Back to searching for something that is comfortable

I was so excited to get these shoes. I cried when I couldn't get them on. My toes wouldn't go past the opening. I really needed these shoes. I don't know how the arch is since I couldn't wear them.

Terrible fitness shoe. Non-removable insole, very tight & cheap-feeling / looking.

Cheap shoe. They fell apart the first time I put them on. The laces are extremely thin and hurt to tie as they dig into your fingers. Unfortunately I cannot attest to their performance, but I’m glad they tore before I took them on a run.

These shoes did not feel well made, they were tight, narrow in the toe box and felt cheaply made , I was thoroughly disappointed with this show and sent it back. I used to wear this brand all the time, the quality has gone down hill.

The laces were thin and cheap; they broke on my second attempt at putting in the shoes. Also, the sock liner showed fraying.
