These fit perfectly and seem nice and supportive! Very comfortable on first day of wear!

Great shoe for the price, fits well.
4 instead of 5 stars cause, like other reviewers noted, the shoe lace ripped on the 3rd wear and I had to buy new ones to replace.

I ordered a 10 rather than my normal 9.5, because lately Asics have been feeling narrow/small. However, these are a little big. It was my first time trying the Gel-Venture style. I might have to try a new brand of sneaker to find the perfect fit. I still wear them and they are pretty comfortable. They are cute.

Comfy right out of the box. Went for a 60-minute walk with no issues. Not quite as cushiony as I would like but still a great fit and well worth the price. Lots of room in the toe box for my bunions. I have a narrow foot and these don't slip.

I wear between a regular and wide shoe. Ordered a wide and it was too wide for my taste. Something about the fit was just off for me but in fairness I am hard to fit (wide at ball of foot narrowish heel.). I returned them.

I could not seem to get a perfect fit. The 8 1/2 were too small and the 9 too long. They also feel narrow. After getting them laced tightly around my ankle to keep my heel in place, they are comfortable and I have no trouble wearing them to work on concrete all day

Seems comfortable enough and fairly supportive, but Toebox was not wide enough or tall enough, insole is not removable to allow my preferred inserts/arch support. I plan to order one size up to see if that helps.

Nice looking show, as seen online. The Asics style fit me, but the toe-box was snug and short. Better for someone who has average or narrow feet.

The fit is perfect. A nice casual shoe when you want your toes covered. I would prefer the grey color to be a little darker. The rubber soles were very squeaky at first, but improved after cleaning them in the washer.

Very comfortable/supportive for walking and running but also light weight! I do feel they ran about a 1/2 size too small though. Would recommend!!

They are a bit loose in the heal. I thought they would be great for plantar fasciitis and would allow me to keep walking but they don't have enough cushion. I think if I add insoles that would help. All in all they are a nice show and do well on trails

Cute shoes for walking, I added my own inserts since theirs are skimpy. I needed to replace the laces as well, too thin and a bit short.

Fit small. I normally wear an 8.5 M and these were way too small. My toes were squished all around.

I ordered the same size I get in all Asics shoes - lately have been the Gel-Venture trail series, and I feel like they were longer and narrower than the Gel-Venture 6 - which I don't like as much. And as reviewed across the board, it seems, there's less room for the top of the foot - which is also a bad direction for Asics. Not to the point of discomfort, but not ideal. And what I really don't like is these new super-thin laces, which are so hard to pull tight, it makes me icky every time I tie my shoes (my "nails on the chalkboard" is tight cotton fibers ripping). I think I'm going to replace the laces with the Gel-Venture 6 laces, if they fit in the holes. Overall, a fine shoe, which I would recommend, but I would urge Asics to stick to what you were doing well (this 7 version is not an improvement on the 6, it's a downgrade).

These were comfortable except for the fact that they felt short in the toe box. I wear a Womens 11 and have never really had an issue with the size before, but there was barely any room left by my toes with the rounded design of the toe area. I wanted to like these and considered keeping them but knew I would be bothered by the rubbing. Otherwise they had good support and were comfortable in the heel.

These are so cute and mostly comfortable, but were pinching my pinkie toe!

They are comfortable and I have been wearing these for a couple of years now. I used to wear the gel-kayano until they changed and the toe box is now too narrow.
Also, the gel-venture color options are rather dull and boring. Would love some better color choices

Took out the insoles & put in my own arch supports. And I wear everyday! Will order another color in this style.
