This is the first time I tried the widest width made for women (because I am a woman with big feet) hoping for some pretty color. Normally, I buy men's 10.5 4E. I was disappointed. Back to the masculine color selection in men's.

I have been purchasing asics for a few years now and each pair I have bought was amazing! So I ordered this pair, but I was so disappointed. The ball of my foot and my toes hurts after just walking in them for more than five minutes. I thought it was just a one time thing but after several wears....they are still very painful. Now I feel stuck with a pair of sneakers I can't wear :( this makes me so sad!

I ordered the same size as the Gel Ascis I've worn out, and this is noticeably shorter. They have to go back.

Very disappointed. I love ASICS and have had good luck with them in the past. These sneakers are short in the toe and rub around the ankle. I wore them for a month trying to break them in, but I’ve given up. I asked someone at work with the same sneakers what she thought and she said “they are so uncomfortable!!”

I found the same toe box issue that other reviewers have found. I ordered a 9 (and I usually wear an 8 1/2 in Asics), but the additional padding in the top of the toe area made the shoe feel small. It was too bad because the shoes were nice looking and otherwise very comfortable. I had this toe box issue with the ASICS GEL-Flux 5 model I tried on, as well.
The ASICS GEL-Venture 6 does not have the padded fabric toe box, so those actually fit me in an 8 1/2.

I have worn asics for years and they are normally great shoes. The heel cup was awful in this shoe. I continue to get blisters on the medial side of my heel. Very uncomfortable.

I only wear "Asics" for the arch support. These seemed to be slightly smaller in size than usual so I couldn't fit my arch support insert in the shoes but more importantly these were unusually low in the heel so that it cut into my heel even without the support inserts.

I have worn Asics in the past but not for a while. I actually ordered a wide(D) because I have wide feet in most sneakers. I put these on and they were tight like a regular width sneaker, no way I can wear these and sadly, don't come in extra wide. So now I am back to square one trying to find a wide sneaker with support. Unfortunate.

A major disappointment compared to the Asics Nimbus Gel 18 that no one has in my size now.. Noticeably less support in the arch and heel.

odd since I've worn Asics for years (in fact to the point of old pair now falling apart). Size 7M was suddenly too short, sent for 7 1/2 and length seemed fine but the width was sooo wide, I was "swimming" in it. so disappointed, will have to return and find a new brand (noticed the new one was made in a different country from the old so that may explain the size and width discrepancies)

Normally size 10 in most shoes regardless of brand is roomy. These felt exact. Also for width I order wide and a 10 wide sneakers leave plenty of room for bulky insoles. I had to double check the tag on this. These felt narrow.

I should have listened to the other reviewers who said that everything is great, except the toe box. It is narrow and uncomfortable. Sad I have to return.

Tighter and shorter feel than 8.5's I've bought before. This is my go-to shoe and I've bought probably 15 pair over the years, as recently as 6 months ago, but this is the first time having to reorder and size up and wider. Wondering why this style did not follow their usual sizing pattern.

I recently had my feet measured and my shoe size is 7 wide. I ordered these in 7 D but too short and tight. I re-ordered in 7 1/2 D but barely larger. Will be returning these and trying another brand.

Nice looking shoe but do not even come close to being true to size.

I have been wearing the various versions of this Asics model for at least a decade. This is the first time that they have not fit. The toe box in the GT-1000 6 is much narrower than in previous versions. I'm distraught over what to do next, as these were my go-to for running and all exercise, really. I have narrow feet, but due to surgeries, need some room in the toe box. In the past Asics delivered for me, but now I'm disappointed to see that this relationship may be drawing to a close. Asics, PLEASE return to the old design! I need you!

I have been wearing this Asics model for years. I have serious over-pronation, and they have been my go-to sneaker for running and lifting for probably a decade, and through two foot surgeries. I was disappointed to discover that this latest version, the GT 1000 6, has a much narrower toe box than in the past. As a result, I can no longer fit into these sneakers. I have narrow feet, but need a slightly wider toe box due to foot issues. The change to this version is just enough to make these unwearable for me. I feel lost without my trusty Asics! I guess I will be looking for a new sneaker now.

Hurt the outside of my feet. I usually use gel kayano for running but wanted to try a less expensive option...there's a reason why these are less expensive, they're not comfortable. Exchanging for my go to gel kayano.

Asics is my GO TO sneak for stability. WHY do they now have such a small and narrow toe box? ASICMAKERS LISTEN! Beef up the toe box. I am forver on the hunt for another show with as much stability and all this show oferfs, but does not crunch my toes !

I have an older pair of Asics 11 regular, so looked at the reviews and decided to order a size larger and a D width. The length is short and the D is very narrow. Very comfortable footbed, but had to send back.

I have bought the GT-1000 before without needing additional inserts for more cushion, so I bought them again. Toe area seems tighter on these and they needed to be broke in more before using them for longer runs. Overall satisfied with the shoe.

Asic has always been my favorite running shoe until the last few years. They've changed there sizing so now I have to order 1/2 to full size up and I don't like the new material they are using. It feels much tighter and isn't flexible and comfortable like they used to be. After trying several Asic shoes in mens and women I've now given up. I'll have to switch brands and I'm bummed about it. I had been successful still purchasing older model Asics (GT-10006) but now they all seem to be gone.
