Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 6

Love ASICS, and have worn them for years But this model is not as comfortable as other Asics I've had. Pair I have seemed larger and wider than other models and has quickly gotten larger! Need heavier socks to keep from sliding around in them. Not much padding under the ball of the foot. Will use for yard work, not good enough to walk the dogs a couple miles daily.

Gel Venture 5 more comfortable. Gel Venture 6 too wide in the mid- to heel area. felt larger than size.

I have underpronation and thus have lots of trouble with my knees hurting when the shoe is for overpronation. It's also very hard to find underpronation shoes. These are GREAT! I am ordering another pair. They are great for running, walking, wearing to school for work and to the gym. Great traction but not a heavy shoe. I get a lot of compliments on the teal camo style too!!

LOVE these shoes! I work on my feet all day, & these were comfortable, & my feet don't hurt after work anymore! I had previously purchased a really expensive pair somewhere else, & ended up returning them because they gave me shin splints... Lesson learned, more expensive doesn't necessarily mean better quality.

The optimal running shoes! I've been wearing this model for a while now and I don't have any complaints! There are always new colors to chose from and they last me for about a year even though I do long distance running!

These shoes are great! I do a lot of hiking on rough terrain and they are very comfortable. They felt good as soon as I put them on right from the box. So far they've held up well. I Highly recommend these shoes if you are a trail runner or just a moderate walker. Will definitely buy them again.

First pair I ordered (8.5) were slightly smaller than I expected, keeping in mind that I took out the manufacture inserts to put in a thicker/increased support insert. The return process was insanely easy! I got on a live chat, late at night which was so convenient, and was walked thru the process by a super-friendly and efficient CSR. The pair I received just a couple days later fit perfectly. I have Morton's Neuroma, so require very good arch support, deep heel and slightly wider shoes. These fit the bill. Even tho the second pair were not the colour I originally wanted, I am happy with the second pair. These also have the perfect length laces (don't need to double-bow them or deal with what I call "floppy ear laces). I love the light-weight, breezy feel of these shoes. I'm a fitness trainer so I go thru tons of runners.

Excellent sneaker if you need a wide toe box. Also fits my orthotics without having to remove the insole. Shoelaces stay tied, unlike some other brands. These are very comfortable walking shoes, highly recommend.

I’ve only had these for a few days, and worn them a couple of times, but so far, I love them. I feel that the supination correction footbed is helping to relieve this problem.

This is my second pair. I wear them to work and never have foot pain. I stand for 4 hours.

These are very comfortable and lightweight. I haven't run in them yet but I have taken a few boot camp classes/personal training sessions while wearing them and they have been great.

Perfect fit! I'm keeping them. They are comfortable, but also feel very sturdy and well built and won't break down quickly like so many other running shoes. the insert is removable so I can also use my orthotics.

I liked the fit and feel of these shoes. Was looking for a trail shoe that wasn't big and clunky but offers good traction and support. I really like the color and style. Lots of room in the toes yet fit well on my heel.

Very comfortable, great arch support, the toe box is roomy . I like the colors and the open weave, very cool to wear.

Comfortable shoes. Not to stiff, but with enough support. Used for travel, light to moderate hiking on a variety of trails instead of packing separate, heavy hiking shoes/boots. Purchased as replacement for Asics Gel Kahana 8. Those shoes felt about 1/2 size small (i.e., fine barefoot but not with regular sport socks), so I ordered these Ventures 1/2 size up. I shouldn't have though. These fit true to size. But I was in a hurry and needed them, so I just kept them.

These fit rather well. Will wear them a little more before I use them outside. The wide has a very roomy toe box.

after 20 years of loving asics, something has gone wrong for them for me. I'm not sure why or how, but they literally rub me the wrong way now. Did they change? Am I just older and more sensitive? hard to tell, but I haven't found a style produced since 2017 that fits comfortably.

The end of 2015, I decided it was time to start taking better care of myself and part of that was moving more. As the weather got nicer, I started walking outside, one mile led to another and now I walk 3 - 7 miles almost every day. I went through several pairs of another expensive shoe and realized I couldn't afford to keep that up. (Each pair was lasting 3-4 months.) So, I shopped around and 6 months ago, found these. I LOVED these straight out of the box! I put them on and hit the sidewalks in my sweet little town! (I order .5 size up and wide for my walking shoes because my toes like the wiggle room.) There was no discomfort, no breaking in period; woo-HOO! for well-made, comfortable walking shoes at a GREAT price! I could buy almost 3 pairs for the price I was paying for the other shoes. Not gonna lie, before a month was out, I came back and ordered 3 more pairs. And, about a month after that, 2 more pairs, just in case they decided to discontinue them! So, here we are 6 months later and I have just started wearing my second pair. (So - cost less AND last longer? WIN - WIN!) The first pair is still great for every day shoes, but showing initial signs of wear and it's SO important to take care of your feet, knees, back! if you want to continue putting the miles in!!

I wear them to work on concrete floors.. great support my feet don't hurt after a ten hour shift

I have only had them for a week, but use them for walking at an indoor mall for 5 miles at a time on a hard concrete floor. So far I am very pleased by the cushioned comfort on the heel especially.

Great all the way around.

These are SO comfortable, right out of the box! I’m a pet stylist, on my feet all day, these are clouds! Ugh, do your feet a solid, buy them some lace up magic! Ps-laces are short, but dealable????

The shoes are very comfortable. They feel cushiony as you walk but still have support. I have a very narrow heal and they seem loose in the heal area which I hadn’t experienced with other ASICS shoes. Otherwise they fit well in my normal shoe size.

I trail run and run half marathons. I’ve recently developed a lot of pain in my toes and metatarsals. I bought these shoes because they were supposed to help with metatarsalgia. Unfortunately they severely aggravated the problem even with my orthotics in the shoe. Little cushioning in the shoe/no shock absorption. It feels as though I have a fracture in my big toe after only 3 miles. I’m throwing them in the trash. So disappointing!

Was disappointed. After wearing asics for years, this one felt stiff. It lacked the arch support that asics used to have. Returned and bought brooks.
