My husband loves these shoes! He has a hard time finding shoes that fit just right and these are great!! They look awesome too! Also, he is really hard on shoes and these have lasted a while! These are the second pair we bought because they fit so well. Thanks!

I have a high arch an my instep will get numb from the upward pressure on a lot of sneakers, this doesn't happen with these. Also my toe is comfortable where some shoes and sneakers feel too small even though my toe lands in the same place with these as the others.

So I’m dipping my toe into the “dad shoe” category of shoes and will be using these guys for trail running and trips to the gym. They feel comfy seem easy to break in.

These were really bad compared to other variants of the Gel-Venture series I have had in the past. The structure of the shoe just didn't hold up. Much of the shoe's structure in the heel area is made of this brittle plastic that always cut into my ankle and eventually just broke. Additionally my forefoot always landed weird and eventually distorted the shape of the shoe. ASICS has been my go-to brand for the weird size I wear and this is the most disappointed I've been in one of their products.

I bought a pair of these and was blown away by the comfort. I usually wear a skate shoe that is very flat and these Asics fit great!

I like these shoes. I don't run in them so I don't know about that. I wear them for everyday and yard work

I have no idea what happened to ASICS. They used to carry great cross trainers and walking sneakers. These like the others are very cheaply made. The bottoms are so thin and feel like plastic. One step above the soles of Converse All Stars. I switched over to Saucony. I like the appearance of Asics, but that's it. Asics walkers and cross trainers are now expensive "skips."

This is the second pair of these i have bought for my daughter for tennis. She loves them. She has very wide feet so we got her the wide pair and she says there are perfect!

I wear a pair of Gel-Venture MX shoes to work every day. I do a lot of walking with my job. Very comfortable shoe and only regret is the MX does not come in more color options. I have the grey pair and they look sharp with jeans.

Nice "looking" sneaker and I wanted them to be good, but something happened to Asics over the past years. They used to carry great sneakers. I used to ONLY buy ASICS. They seem to have cheapened the product. I tried on the Ventura 6 and it felt like they had really thin and cheap soles. It is not just with these ASICS, but ASICS in general. That is why I switched over to Saucony. I love the ASICS appearance though, as opposed to the boring looking Saucony. The fit and durability of Saucony can't be matched however. I had to mail these ASICS back. I hope one day ASICS goes back to what they were.

I am size 8 wide. Everyone in the family said it looks good on me. We are asics family so we are experienced and have certain expectation of their products. This one feels comfortable just like all the others. Also the weigh is just right, and it is well made. For the price, I am thinking about buying a 2nd pair.

I am a woman who wears mens shoes because of size and width issues...these work great. they have a moderate arch and fit my size 9-9.5 feet perfect. they are a bit stiff...like most shoes are at first...but i am sure with running and wear they will gain some give. I will update my review if this is not the case. the blue/grey I ordered are good looking shoes. I would definitely order again!

Awesome! It's difficult to find this style and size local or at an outlet store near me. I was thrilled to see you offer these for sale. Happy customer!!!

I ordered the Asics Venture 6 for my husband who normally wears a size 14 in a running shoe. They ran small/short on him. I re-ordered them in a size 15 and they fit him comfortably. He hasn’t worn them out of the house yet, but he said they felt good. I have the women’s Asics and I had to go up a half size.

This is one of the best fitting shoe's that I have worn. It's wide enough for comfort and fits my foot like a glove. I have tried a lot more expensive shoe's that don't fit near this good. I won't buy any other brand now that I found the perfect fit!

Other brands won't fit as good as these.

Fits great, feels great, looks great. And price wasn’t bad either. I’ve used ASICS Gel trail runners for years, and - along with Saucony Grid - they’re among the best trail runners out there. Great for off-road, hiking, and honestly works more than fine on pavement, too. Regular running shoes don’t have enough padding for me to run long distance, and wear out fast. These never do. So long as ASICS keeps making them, I’ll keep buying them.

I bought these for my husband to replace an identical pair he wore out over time. He is a huge runner and found these shoes comfortable and supportive- even on the long runs. Plus- the price is great!

Great fit and super comfortable to wear right out of the box! These are casual wear shoes for me to the office or anywhere. They're replacing a 7+ year old pair of Asics that finally wore out. Needless to say I am a big fan of Asics!!

These were basically an updated version of my last pair of ASICS, which I wore for five years (and still do on occasion despite the area around my big toe basically being torn open from so much wear). They fit well and feel good. My only complaint is that the strings are much too short for my liking.
