Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 7

I think they are good overall but not sure they have enough support on the ball of the foot and arch area to be the right walking shoe for me

The gel cushioning in these shoes is very comfortable. But I bought a half size larger than usual, and there's not as much room for the toes as there's been in Asics shoes I've purchased in the past. I'll keep them. They're only slightly snug. But I'm sorry they're not quite as comfortable as before.

I have had Asic Gel shoes before in a size 10W and these appear to be about a half size smaller when compared to the other pair. They are attractive and I agree that they are more dark navy than black. They were out of size 101/2 D or I would have reordered them. I had to go to another style. The shoe laces are indeed quite flimsy and I am not sure if they will last long but they are an attractive shoe which I like in an athletic shoe.

I have been wearing ASICS Gels for my long narrow feet and like their fit. However, they don't seem to be lasting like they used to. They seem to get worn out quite quickly as of late.

These sneakers look cool and are comfortable. They are slightly wider than previously purchased ASICS but so far so good!

Amending review from November 10. This shoe did work for the toe box size as it was a Wide width, but as I wore it around the house for a day, it was rubbing on the side of my heel areas causing my foot to be sore, most likely due to the width being too wide for the back part of my foot. I was disappointed because I have worn Asics in the past in the regular width, but can't anymore because they have reduced the size of the toe box. I had to return these and now try to figure out what brand to try next! Zappos is great to work with though!

The shoe fits well and has good cushioning but I like a little arch support which it doesn't have.

Asics have shrunk their sizing. I’ve always worn size 10 and now it doesn’t fit.

Firm lateral support that I need for high arches. Most athletic shoes have abandonded support in favor of the barefoot running feel which I can't deal with. My only complaint, the laces are flimsy like dress shoes than the beefier laces found in athletic shoes or trail shoes. I'm replacing the laces to enjoy the supportive fit of the shoe. Replaces my Gel Venture 6 which lasted 2 years of daily use.

Hoping the half size bigger will fit. Too short

Fits very nicely . Like the foam suppor

I really love the bright colors of these shoes. Loved that I got them on sale. The shoes were a little more narrow than my other Asics. End of the day the shoes feel a little tight. I can wear them all day and be on my feet- so it isn't a 'problem' with being too tight, just means that when they wear out they will be fitting perfect still. :)

I was pretty satisfied with these sneakers. This was the first time I’ve ordered sneakers on line so I was curious about the fit. The reviews were very helpful also.

I really like these, but I had to send them back because they were too small. I always order 1/2 size larger in Asics, but this time I would have needed a whole size larger. This Asics style seems to run a whole size small.

I LOVE the look of these shoes - -even with a large foot, they looked adorable! The colors are great, very subtle. Unfortunately, they're just a tad too short!! (and sadly, they don't come any larger). I'm kind of at my wit's end, trying to find a shoe that fits.

Previous favorite discontinued, as usual. Took a chance. Jackpot! Good fit, very light, comfortable from day 1, delivered quickly. Good price. Immediately ordered a second pair, which arrived VERY fast. Then too mane emails asking me to buy another pair. So I unsubsidized. Great kicks, though.

Super cute, and I’m sure these are exactly how they are supposed to be, but I need more stability in my shoes. At half the price of other ASICS, I really wanted them to work, but alas, I will return them.

Fit true to size

This shoe was a stone bruise waiting to happen! There's no arch support and the heel had very little cushion. The style of the shoe is really cute, so I'm sad they didn't feel good on my feet.

They are fine, but the arch support is not as good as I thought it would be for ASICS. Roomy toe box, fit as expected.

Fit feels good and the colors are great and as pictured. Someone else commented about the laces and I agree. These won't hold up over time. I'll probably switch them out.

These shoes were at least a half size too small for me. I wear a 9.5 consistently in Merrell brand shoes. I’ll be returning these and order a Merrell shoe.

I'm always happy when I can find a wide shoe, and this was a perfect fit! The shoe is very comfortable for walking. I am "breaking them" in and so far, so good!
