Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 6

They are not as wide in the toe box as the Gel Sonoma2 in the same size and width (14eeee), so they don't work for me.

I love this shoe for walking. It's light weight and is very comfortable. I just ordered another pair. Zappos is great, they helped me out with a shoe order and gosh all mighty, were they ever the nicest people to work with. Got my shoe order in and on the way!

The cushion was sub par and the heal was loose. The shoe also seemed too narrow with too low of an instep.

Have always purchased asics for my husband in this size. They are too wide and too long

Very comfortable shoes.Loving it!

My son absolutely adores these. The style looks great. The shoe is well constructed. Zappos, as always, is the best!!

The left one had a manufacturing defect. The lower end of the tongue was not properly attached to the shoe. It has a stub that stick down into the foot. Hope this is a special case and ASICS quality, normally very good, isn't degrading. My son was very happy with the right one. Fits well on his 11.5 4E foot.

This version 6 has a better sole and pattern. I have really liked these shoes through the years. Me and my kids wear them as every day shoes. Great shoe at a better price.

Great light weight shoe

The shoes are great. They came in a couple of days, and cost less at Zappos than anywhere else. I usually try to buy whatever I can locally and support small businesses, but the truth is, even in a large metropolitan area like Washington, DC, it is hard to find my size shoes. Frequently, I have run into store clerks, who were rude and/or unhelpful. My experiences have led me to now go to Zappos first, rather than as a last resort.

This shoe looks and feels good. I require a 4E width due to wide feet accompanied by moderate bunions. I am limited to the brand of shoes I can buy. I have worn New Balance and Dunham shoes but found Dunham to be heavy. The same is true for New Balance. These Asics are very light, comfortable and feel a bit larger than listed. The width is perfect for my needs. I have to add different insoles as these offer no arch support. I also have to wear a lift in one shoe and this lift moves about with the Asics insoles. A change of insoles and I am ready for my walks. The sale price was an added bonus. As usual the Zappos delivery was quick and just as predicted.

This is my first pair of Asics. My immediate impression was that they were too firm. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find them comfortable after wearing them to work. These are my 'do everything' shoes. They're light weight and vented. The outsole appears that it will work well for trail work. I have a slight supination and these feel great to me. The shoelaces (on the grey model) have a nice understated blue line that matches the Asics logo.
