ASICS Men's Gel-Venture 7 MX Trail Running Shoes

Great pair of sneakers

These are the most comfotable and satisfying sneakers I've ever had. I bought a second time and the next year whether it be fathers day, christmas or birthday my kids bought me a pair. They last very long as well. I'm so impressed I really thave told other people. I wouldnt have taken time out of my day to write this but it was worth it.

After about 8 months worth of mostly walking, some running, the shoe body has broken down and my big toe has broken through the mesh.

I am a semi-serious runner/walker. I do 30-40 miles a week give or take. I have work Asics shoes for many years and this model is my personal favorite for a couple reasons. First, these are "technically," trail runners. Don't get me wrong I run hundreds of road miles on them but they offer a bit more stability than a sleek road runner. Second, they are comfortable...at least more comfortable than most running shoes. The insole inside the shoe holds up well and provides a good amount of comfort for a lot of miles. Third, they are extremely affordable. Getting a pair of shoes that I can put several hundred miles on for around $60 is an incredible deal. I have worn $200+ shoes and while they were lighter and sleeker, they don't impress me any more than these as a whole.I couple things to note. These are not light shoes. They are not heavy but they are not as light as a high end road runner. Also they have an aggressive tread. Like I said earlier, they are technically a trail runner so the treads reflect that. I personally like that because it adds more ankle stability and I am able to bust out onto the grass or dirt without slipping and sliding.I will continue to order the Asics Venture 7. GREAT shoe for the money.

As a retiree Ive been through all the changes in "sneakers" over the years. Ive gone from wearing what was given to me to being able to wear whatever I wanted. What we wear today in casual and athletic shoes is pretty much rocket science compared to what we wore a few decades ago.I discovered ASICS quite by accident, I was committed to the other major brands (without mentioning names) and only looked at specific brands when shopping.I came across a pair of used ASICS in a thrift store. Who buys shoes in a thrift store? I have to admit in this case, I did I certainly wasnt looking for shoes at a thrift storeYet these ASICS looked to be in great shape! Clean and not much wear. I could always use a pair of "yard shoes" where it wouldnt matter what you did to them or what you stepped in, they would never make it into the house in any situation. They werent so much clothes as they were tools. They had a specific use and were always one step away from the garbage can.But something totally unexpected happenedThey fit my feet perfectly and were very comfortable.And they were tough.Before too long they worked their way into the houseand I started taking them on walksThey were the most comfortable shoes I owned, these second hand throwaways.I wore them out. It took another two years to finally realize they were done.I have been bying ASICS ever sinceSo its come full circle. I am brand loyal at my old ageYou can find a lot of choices in athletic shoesBut for me, there are none better.

I've had these for pver a year and they are barely starting to show wear and tear (Barely, like not even thinking about replacing them yet). Asic's are really comfy shoes that fit my feet perfectly when I'm in the gym, no slipping or shuffling around when I'm on the equipment. I personally recommend these to everyone I know, and to random people asking questions. They also come in a variety of great colors so there's one for everyone.

Nice shoe long lasting

Have purchased these shoes several times. Fits my wide foot, light weight, comfortable and they aren’t gaudy.
