Gel-Venture 7 feels mostly like a regular pair of Asics shoes with added traction. Thus, it fits perfectly for the new trail runner. It’s an excellent shoe on basic trails – for short to mid-distance runs. So, in wet and muddy conditions, it doesn’t perform as well as other and more specialized trail shoes. The shoe still holds tight when you run trails on dry rocks, but when the rocks are wet, traction is less. The rubber composite used in its construction is a bit hard which does it difficult to mold the running steps to a more uneven environment as more flexible types of rubbers. The outsole offers great traction on dry surfaces that aren’t too technical. So don’t be surprised if it takes a while to notice signs of wear and tear on the bottom of the Asics GEL-Venture 7. The sole has about twice as big an abrasion resistance compared to regular outsole materials. The AHAR is made from reinforcing materials combined with the same substance used to make car tires and we all know that car tires are very resilient. The rubber on the outsole is called AHAR, which is short for ASICS High Abrasion Rubber. If you combine that with a wide forefoot platform, you have a trail shoe that could be higher up on the list when it comes to stability. Since you land on the heel first, it promotes thus a stable landing. However, because of its rigid construction, the heel and the arch hardly flex at all. Because of its form, the fit and feel of the inside of your shoe will be consistent.Īsics GEL-Venture 7 is constructed in a way that offers enough support to a decent amount of flexibility on the forefoot. It was designed to deliver long-term cushioning. This feature is very important because it holds the insole in place when you run the trails, and lands in unusual foot patterns that often will twist a normal insole around. The adhesive is mild so, you can still remove the insole, but it holds the insole in place when you take the shoe off or on. But Asics has also made a layer of adhesive down under the sockliner. When you put your foot down into the shoe, you probably do not avoid becoming aware of this. The ORTHOLITE X40 sockliner is an industry standard inside the shoe. How your foot contacts the ground: The foot lands on the outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.
Push Off: There is even distribution from the front of the foot. Male runners or hikers can choose from a standard fit (D) and an extra-wide one (4E), while females have the option to go for the standard fit (B) or the wide (D). Asics Men Gel-Venture 7 Designed For a Neutral Running StyleĪsics GEL-Venture 7 has wide size options for both men and women. It even molds to the shape of your feet, making each run even more comfortable than the last. GEL™ technology in the rearfoot area of the shoe provides shock absorption where you need it most, while the ORTHOLITE™ sockliner provides an additional layer of cushioning underfoot. Trail Running in particular can put a strain on your feet and joints, so it is essential to select running shoes that specifically target the kinds of trail running you choose.Īsics have invested heavily in the development and innovative technologies that match the runner’s style and need – whether it is GoreTex water protection for running in mud and snow, or their unique GEL™ absorbent silicone to take the shock out of running on hard surfaces.Īccording to Asics, their GEL™ technology and EVA midsole in the Gel-Venture 7 shoe are made for athletes who love to run outdoors.
Stability on unpredictable surfaces is a main purpose for choosing trail running shoes.
