Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 7

I love the color. I agree with another reviewer in that these aren’t really “black/silver” but more navy to almost purple. I like the color a lot. I ultimately had to return these because the fit is too small. I put them on and my toes touched the end of the shoe. I’ll be returning them for a half size larger.

I like the style and color. My problem is with shoes that rub my little toe. I have been searching for years to find a shoe that not only fits my foot but doesn't cause pain in my little toes. The shoe 'box' area needs to fit my foot to keep from rubbing my toe.

Fit too tight across toes. Tried loosening laces, ok for short amounts of time but uncomfortable for all day wearing.

I hesitantly ordered the Asics Gel-Venture 7 but am very glad I did! They feel great! Great room in the toe box area, can even wiggle toes around. The one thing I have an issue with are the laces. The type of laces Asics chose does not stay and loosens way to easily. I'll be replacing them. I hope Asics discontinues this particular style of laces.

Great shoe. I usually wear a 8 1/2 to 9. So went for the 9 wide and am very pleased. Not too big. Plenty of width, which I like. And with my plantar fasciitis, good support and cushioning. Got the grey. Did not want a loud color, but this is a bit too quiet. My bad. Would buy this style of shoe again.

Overall this pair of Asics are comfortable to walk around in. I wished that its insert would be removable. The fit is great and being my first pair of Asics they were true to its size.

I loved the feel of these shoes. Immediately after putting them on I could tell that they didn't hurt my feet. I ordered the Venture 7 because I've worn out my Venture 6 pair. I ordered my regular size of 8 1/2 Medium. In my Venture 6, I took out the inner sole and cut it to fit right up against my 3/4 custom orthotice. When I tried to put the cut insole from my Venture 6 and my orthotic in my Venture 7 shoes, they overlapped. The shoes were smaller than my Venture 6's. So I sent them back and ordered a size 9 but my heels rode up and down as I walked. I called in and talked to a very nice lady who was not much help...returning these.

Super pretty and looks great with jeans.

Ordered 2 pairs of shoes. This pair of ASICS and a pair of Salomon. These were much shorter and length and will be returned.

Shoes fit great, and feet feel wonderful while walking in them. But don't like the new shoelaces - evidently Asics changed up as a cost saver? Great shoes, cheap laces.

I have only worn them in the house but, they seem to fit well. I like the colors. I wish there was a bit more arch support but, I will add them and I wish there was the extra toe covering of past models. The toes are the first place to wear out on my sneakers ALWAYS. I have worn Asics for years and have been happy with them.

Purchased as a lighter weight product to use during summer months on North Carolina's Piedmont's region macadam and hard surface bike trails. TThey weigh 8 ounces each and I can definitely feel the different between this shoe and my Merrell MOAB-2 -- of course, the Merrell MOAB is designed for much rockier and challenging terrain, and way too heavy for twohour 90 degree/90% humidity Greenway walks. At last (after two returns of other products, both ttwo too three times the price), I found this ASICS GEL-Venture-7's! Will they last into Auturm 2020? Don't know but at the sale price and it's only early May 2020, I have a lot of walking to do before I find out. I love my Teva's (through Zappo's, of course!), but I am walking to lose weight and thes great sandals do not have enough support for me on macadam trails; ASICS Gel-Venture 7 do. It's a shift to wear a GEL-Venture 7 as my previous brand was HOKA (Coronavirus-shipments delayed from VietNam) and ASICS Gen-Venture 7's a good deal less expensive. Judging by experiences with recent model HOKA's, much more durable. A good choice for a shoe for hard trails and environments in which a sandal does not provide sufficient support on long, hot, humid East Coast days.

A recent purchase; update after summer ends!

Very comfortable. True to size. Lots of room at toe and good fit at heal. My heal is narrow and I often have a hard time with fit in that area. These were perfect. Only thing that I can't figure is the lace up....doesn't close very much, wide. I can't make it much tighter, so feels too tight to pull in. Other than that...these are great.

The only reason I sent these back is that I need a half size larger. Otherwise they are great.

The toe box felt narrow and where my foot bends when I walk (on top of my foot) there was extra material that made walking uncomfortable.

I usually wear a 10M in Asics, however, this 10M seemed a bit narrower than other Asics 10M that I've had. So, I tried the 10 wide and it was a bit more comfortable, so I returned the 10M. The difference may been unique to the particular pair of shoes, because I also ordered the 10 medium in another color (Rock/Fawn) of the same shoe, and it fits fine, and I kept it .
