Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 7

I ordered an 8W & it felt like a traditional B width.

I like the shoe, just the front feels a bit wide, my toes feel like it actually has to much width room.

I have a difficult time finding sneakers that my feet don't hurt in. I was very pleasantly surprised at the comfort these offer. I have a narrow heal and wide upper foot area. These fit perfect. So far the comfort is wonderful. I'll let you know how they feel in a few months of wear. Great style, love the colors, nice and airy, cool.

I usually wear an 8.5, except in athletic shoes, and get 9 and that is not to accommodate bulky socks because I wear a thin sock. I got a 9 in this shoe and its just right. So hard to say if runs true to size, I guess true to size if you routinely size up half size for athletic shoes. Only reason that I didn't give 5 stars is because the laces are horrible. Very thin, don't stay tied tight. I will have to replace but am willing to do that because I like the shoe so much. I have very flat feet and don't easily find a comfortable shoe. Also first pair was defective, but Zappos stellar customer service made it right with no effort on my part. Never have to worry about any order issue, Zappos is the best!

I bought these shoes to wear when I started taking walks around the neighborhood. I go about 2-2.5 miles per walk, sometimes alternating between walking and jogging. Terrain is a combination of paved sidewalks and walking on the roads. When I first tried them on, the cushion was immediately noticeable. It took a couple of walks to get used to them (my previous shoes were lightweight Sketchers), but they are supportive enough for my needs. The pink/gray combo matches most of my workout wardrobe, so it easily coordinates with most of my outfits.

These are very comfortable and seem sturdy. I have high arches and they support my feet well. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because the shoelaces are terrible. They are cheap and I have to stop and tie them during a walk with my dog numerous times. Drives me nuts. I chose the charcoal color and that was my mistake. They are very masculine and kind of ugly. I'm keeping them because I think they are a practical color and they are comfortable.

i am a bigger fan of the Gel-Venture 6 they are better made even the shoe laces are thicker and better made then the 7's

These shoes fit great! I bought them specifically for trail running and they are tough yet comfortable with good support. The style is a bit funky (maroon version) but I picked it because I felt like it might actually hold up better and look nicer longer with all the exposure to dirt & mud etc. Very happy with this purchase!

Not as soft and squishy as I was hoping for.

Accurate fit and good comfort/style.

Loved the look and style of these shoes. Width fine for my rather narrow feet, yet a tiny bit too short. Really crowded my toes, so sadly I must return and Zappos doesn’t have a 9.5 in this style. I am forced to look elsewhere. I love Zappos as they are always the best online shoe site ever! I love you guys. Please stay safe!

Fits really well, like all of my previous ASICS sneakers. The Graphite/Berry color combo is really pretty; subtle and goes well with a lot of my casual clothes. My only complaint is the cheap, flimsy shoelaces. I have been wearing ASICS for over 20 years, and have never had a single pair like these. They are more difficult to tie, and are constantly coming unlaced. Fortunately I found some more classic laces on ebay, which will coordinate with the colors of the shoe.

They are super comfortable around the house but slightly too small... My big toe pokes the front, worried once I start running they’ll cause pain.

Great shoe for the price. I’m not an extreme runner it’s perfect for beginner to moderate runner.

Comfortable shoe. Work all day no problem.

Overall this is a good shoe for the basic Asics footwear line and price. I prefer to buy the higher-end gel model Asics shoes because they have a lot more support and comfort. However, at this time my finances are tighter than normal and I had to downgrade to these basic Asics.

these are for work, I stand up to 10 hours so good shoes are very important to me. These are good shoes

These were great except for the skimpy shoelaces. Also, I felt I needed a shoe horn to get in the shoes. So unlike earlier Asics. Sent them back.

As always, Asics comes through with comfortable and supportive shoes. Although the arch support is pretty good, I have really high arches and switch out the liner for Abeo liners for extra support. I like that the sizing stays true and I can order them instead of going shopping.

These were a little narrower at the toe than I expected in a wide fit. I went up a half size and glad I did. Not a large selection of colors, but the gray with turquoise accents is acceptable.

I’m primarily using a treadmill right now. When I move into a jog/run, I feel my heels slip around a bit more than I like. (To be fair, this shoe is for trail running.) Have yet to try lacing them differently which may help. Otherwise very comfortable.

I love the price. I love the style. It just doesn't fit as wide as I need.

These are very comfortable with plenty of support. Comfortable right out of the box. Very cushy footbed. Ordered the black/silver, but it is actually navy blue mentioned in other reviews. I like the navy color though.

sneakers are good; flat shoelaces are horrible - they slip when trying to tie and if sideways you can feel them cutting into the tongue at the tie (bad design)

Hard to find shoe for me in 10.5. Never wore size wide. Needed wide in this shoe. Hope back heel ok; otherwise i think it is great for the price.
