Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 7

I have been wearing Asics shoes for a long time and this model doesn't disappoint. It has the cushioning and arch support that I expect from a sports shoes, plus the model is nice. The only thing I'd say is that the laces aren't too long, but for me that is not a problem and they can be easily replaced.

I'm loving these so far! I wear a true 7.5 wide, and ended up sticking with an an 8.5 wide in these Asics. (I waffled between the 8 and 8.5, one was a taaad too small and the other just a hint too long, but my feet definitely swell a fair bit, so I went with the slightly larger size.) Either way, about a full size larger than I would normally buy in other shoes, but that's not unexpected with sneakers. They are super comfy, right out of the box! Awesome colors (it's definitely a dark purple, not black, and looks great), hefty tread, nice and lightweight, seems like solid construction. I'm very happy with this purchase! Haven't worn them other than around the house but I look forward to getting out and seeing how they do!

I’m a 10 normally so that is what I ordered and these fit great. My feet hurt when I’m on them all day or walk long distances so I specifically looked for something with comfort in mind. So far on the few walks I’ve taken, these shoes have been great. They are snug but in a comfortable and secure way. I got the black with the orange pop and they were brighter in person but still love them.

I spent a couple of months shopping for running/hiking tennis shoes and finally found these. They fit well on my narrow feet, which is very nice, and they have the tread that I was looking for that make them great for hiking on rocky trails. The only thing I don't like about them is that the laces dig in right on the bridge of my foot, on the tarsals, so I have to loosen the laces to keep them from causing some discomfort. They're great shoes otherwise.

Just what I needed. Firm footbed without being a heavy shoe. It is a little narrow across the toes only and wasn’t a big enough issue for me to return them, but I would size up or order wider on my next pair.

Sneakers arrived quickly, are very comfortable and lightweight. Good support for my daily run/walks. Color is true to photograph.

Nice shoe for the price.

They fit very well and are comfortable

Fits great!

Fit very well and real comfortable

I was surprised at how quickly I can wear these shoes- no break in time to speak of. I do have one spot that rubs on my heel, but that is a common problem for my left foot- not the fault of the shoe.

It's almost impossible for me to find a sneaker that doesn't hurt my feet after a few miles of walking. These were super comfy out of the box, and have remained so. I've only worn them about 5 times, but that's enough for me to think it's time to buy a couple of pair in other colors. And that's something I never do with any type of footwear.

very satisfied overall - love asics

I'm a NICU nurse and spend 12 to 16 hours on my feet. These definitely allow me to do so with comfort.

I got these for hiking and they are perfect. They provide enough support, especially around the ankles.

Shoes need no breaking in time. When on feet and straight to walking. Love Asics shoes! Changed out my orthodics the day after I received shoes. I have had no issues. Feet feel great

It fit true to size. The shoe is very comfortable.

Zappos recommended that I go a full size up and I was like... "nah, no way", so I ordered a half size up. ...Zappos was right. I had to go a full size up. This is my first-ever pair of running shoes, so I can't say much about specifics or quality, but I like them so far.

I walk at least 3.5 miles per day and wore these right out of the box and have had no problems breaking them in. Very happy!
