Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 6

I like these sneakers BUT my orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist didn't like the tightness of the sneakers near my middle of my foot. They want me to get a sneaker with a wider "stance" near the middle of my foot.

Loving this shoe. I ordered the Carbon/mid grey/seashell pink in an 11.5 wide. They fit very well and provide a good deal of support. Actually made other sneakers feel flat after having tried these on. I walk about 2 miles daily in these with our pup and they are quite comfy. They did take a few days to get used to, as I have not worn sneakers regularly in years. The only drawback, is that I don't feel the laces are long enough. In order to be able to tie the shoes in a bow, I am not able to lace them all the way up, which I would prefer to do.

True to size but runs wide. I got the smallest width option and unfortunately they are too wide. I will be returning. The quality is also lacking although they are cute. Bummed they didn’t work out.

The new sneakers fit better than the 7 D Wide. Can also put a thicker sock into it.

I have had ASICS in the past, and I liked them. Finding a good shoe in a wide width can be a challenge, and these shoes were true to size. I bought two pair even; one from Zappos (my favorite) and the other pair from another vendor. There is a big problem in comfort with these shoes. Heal area has plenty of cushioning, but there is a lack of any comfort in the forefoot area. This becomes painful if you wear the shoe for any length of time. As for suggestions of buying new insoles, why would anyone spend the extra dollars? I'll just buy a better shoe next time.

Usually get 6.5 in sneakers but they were a little long, exchanged for size 6 and they fit just right. Great for outside work. Light weight, tough enough, nice color combo.

Great shoes for a good price

Great support, I get lots of compliments on these.

Awesome! Just what I needed for my plantar fasciitis! Excellent!

ASICS just don’t cut it anymore. Quality, comfort and size have all gone down. Time to change brands.

Most comfortable shoes!!! I have problem feet. This shoe is the best. I wear it around the house too. I use my orthotics. I wear a W and the fit is excellent. This shoes is light, excellent support. I wish it comes in a more subtle / neutral colors so that I can wear them with dress / skirts as well. I have the silver one with the pink accents, and it is great with jeans.

size was a bit large I reordered 1/2 size smaller and it fits fine.

I like these shoes. They fit great and love the style, however are lacking in arch support. I use an orthotic in place of what it came with, and would order again.

I was reluctant to order shoes online, but wanted to try it! The shoes fit perfectly and I have become a Zappos' fan!!

I so wanted these shoes. I tried the size 12M at Nordstrom's but I my toes were a bit squished, so decided to try Zap's for same size but D width. Very disappointed when I tried them on. They felt just like the M width and when held up against my New Balance (Avon shoe) 993 size 12D the toe area was narrower than the Asics. I need a rounded toe box and the Gel Venture 6 just didn't have it. Unfortunately I am returning the shoes. I might add that I have difficult feet, extremely sensitive toes and just generally miserable feet. It is aggravating to find the sizing among the brands so off standard. I spend a lot of money on shoes that all are lacking, but tolerable. For example I have a pair of Brooks size 13M which fit like an old pair of Asixs Gel size 12D and which I wear only on the gym floor in order to keep them good as long as possible because I love them. Then I have several New Balance ranging in size between 12W to 13M. My advice, if anybody is interested, would be to buy as many of the shoes that fit really well, so one has spares when one wears out. These manufacturers are completely unreliable because when they change specific models they are never the same fit that one is used to.

For my wide feet it was great! I would buy them again.

This was a perfect fit. I was able to wear them all day with no problems

Perfect! ASICS never disappoints. Thank you Zappos for the great shoe selection and great shipping! You guys are awesome! So easy!

SO COMFORTABLE but only for standing, because as soon as I walked in them my heels slipped while at the same time the ankle collar felt too tight. Super bummed out because until I walked in them they were the winners in my never ending search for sneakers. Perfect for supination tho.

It’s so hard to find size 12 shoes that look feminine..these feel wonderful!
