I purchased these when I decided to start walking to work. Initially I kept a pair of Clarks oxfords in my desk to wear at work but now just keep the Asics on all day since I am most often behind a desk where my shoes aren't seen. Clarks, Rockport, and Born shoes are comfortable--for a dress shoe--but cannot compare to the walking on air by comparison feel of Asics. I walk to and from work every day and most days walk at lunch as well. Obviously they don't look as sharp as my polished Tilden Caps, but the blue does match our corporate color so a couple days a week my shirt and shoes match spot on. I have worn them 5-6 days a week for about 6 months and they still look and feel as new. Highly recommended

This is my third pair of Gel Ventures, overall bought because they come in Wide size which feels so comfortable for my normally E size, but these 4E are great and fit comfortably. The uppers mesh like fabric sort of fit around the feet like a sock. Other then that they look good and very durable. The overall design doesn't seem to attract as much dirt and grime as other shoes, not sure why, maybe i dont notice it as much on the darker colors, but a quick wipe with a damp paper towel and they look good as new. Walking/running on dirt has been fine, they feel secure and sole has been lasting with low wear, unlike pavement. Arch feels fine and i'm slightly under pronated and these shoes are rated for under to neutral which i think most people are. The soles i think are the heavier part of the shoe and is probably why the soles seem to be more durable then say a normal running shoe with very light rubber compounds. But dont be alarmed, they dont feel heavy to me and sometimes i just wear them all day and to work. I wish these had forefoot gel as well, but overall a good shoe for the price.

Bought these sneakers for my brother. He said they feel fantastic. They have great support, comfortable, and feel durable. I will definitely buy him another pair in a different color. Its not easy to find shoes for him that fit him so well.

These shoes fit perfectly, true to size. They are also excellent quality and are exactly as I expected from looking at them online.

This is the second pair we have purchased for my grandson. He likes the way they feel on his foot and I like that they last longer than the previous brands we have bought for him. Win! Win!

Bought these for my husband. He needed a pair of shoes for light hiking. Perfect fit and exactly what he was looking for. Asics are always comfortable right out of the box.

I have previously bought the Venture 5 for hiking and that's worked well for me. Since that's no longer available I bought these Venture 6 shoes. I actually prefer the 6 to the 5. They feel lighter and more comfortable. I've been wearing them at work, where I'm on my feet a good deal, and my feet have felt good all day. The only thing of note is that I have previously always taken a size 12, but the Venture 6 was too short. Size 12.5 fit perfectly.

Great all-around shoe for the price. I wear 11.5 in nike (never buying their products again) and 11 in vans for reference and these are definitely on the larger size for athletic shoes. Toe box is pretty large but comparable to some "training" or trail shoes I've had.

got them for my son, he likes them, thought they could use a little better arch support, not a deal breaker.
ordered a second pair so he can rotate them.

Great shoe. Very comfortable. Got the extra wide width. My feet have gotten a little wider since I've grown older. I will definitely look for more of this style of shoe in the future. Thanks Zappo's!!!!

I was very pleasantly surprised by the excellent fit and cushioning I found in these shoes. I walk 3 miles every day, and run about 1/2 mile of the circuit. The GEL-Ventures have been very comfortable in both modes. They are comfortable for casual wear, too. I've run in ASICS for 20 years, but now that I'm dialing back the stress on my knees, these shoes have proved to be affordable winners.

I've been fitted in a CAM boot for a broken fibula and needed a shoe to balance out my stride. These are fitting the bill perfectly. As a bonus, they're some of the most comfortable sneakers I could wear - forgiving on pavement and making my day a little easier. If only the CAM boot could be as comfortable as this sneaker is...

I purchased 2 pairs of these shoes in hopes to help correct my supination. The shoes appear to help push the outside of my foot inward to be in neutral position, as I hoped. There is plenty of cushion and can be felt when walking and running. The arch support is pretty good. I have high arches, so those with mid/low arch may feel this shoe is not that comfortable. It's Zappos, so try the shoe out and if it doesn't--return it. :-)
