Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 7

This shoe was very tight for an wide. They were very uncomfortable

Have been an Asics Venture 6 wearer for several years - one of the only shoes I have been able to wear with my chronic heal pain. Went to purchase another Venture 6 pair, only to find they no longer make them and have replaced them with the 7 model. These are NOT like the 6 model AT ALL! Even with a wide width, they are much narrower than the 6 and I was barely able to get my feet into the shoes, much less wear them for any length of time. Very disappointed they do not fit like the 6 whatsoever and have replaced the 6.

I have had three pairs of ASICS GEL-Venture. The quality has deteriorated and now I have to find another brand. I use Superfeet inserts but because the Venture 7 insoles were glued in, I cannot use a quality insert. The all-around comfort and quality that I usually enjoyed in ASICS is gone. These felt cheap.

Bottom of shoe felt very thin. I have worn Asics for about 30 years and I go through several pairs a year. This pair felt nothing like the others, not much padding between foot and ground. They look pretty and I wanted them to work, I kept trying them on but they are not like the rest. I will try Asics again, this is not their norm.

I'm sure these are really great if you can find your right size (the insoles seem amazingly comfy and supportive) but I ordered an 11B and these were NO MORE than a 8.5B. The tag reads correctly but the shoe was nowhere near the right size. Hopefully a fluke. Fabric, styling, and construction all look like all my other pairs of ASICS running shoes.

Felt like I was wearing cheap foam shoes, and the "laces" are string that cuts thru the foam into my foot. I was so disappointed. Got 2 pairs in different colors exact same size and while one pair is a little too narrow and actually cause some pain in the sides and heels of my feel, the other pair is a little to big. I've been wearing and loving GEL-Venture 6 for a few years so the difference was a big disappointment, even more so since the GEL-Venture 6 is no longer available.

Shoes are very uncomfortable and there is no support.

Love the color but the shoe was so tight I couldn't even get in on to see how comfortable it was. There was no way I could even get my arch supports in.

Unfortunately ASICS shoes seem to be narrower with a tight toe box. Never had issues before. Back to searching for something that is comfortable

I was so excited to get these shoes. I cried when I couldn't get them on. My toes wouldn't go past the opening. I really needed these shoes. I don't know how the arch is since I couldn't wear them.

Terrible fitness shoe. Non-removable insole, very tight & cheap-feeling / looking.

Cheap shoe. They fell apart the first time I put them on. The laces are extremely thin and hurt to tie as they dig into your fingers. Unfortunately I cannot attest to their performance, but I’m glad they tore before I took them on a run.

These shoes did not feel well made, they were tight, narrow in the toe box and felt cheaply made , I was thoroughly disappointed with this show and sent it back. I used to wear this brand all the time, the quality has gone down hill.

The laces were thin and cheap; they broke on my second attempt at putting in the shoes. Also, the sock liner showed fraying.
