Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 6

Love these shoes. Great fit as always.

This is my second pair of this model and they have worked fine for my morning walks. As far as arch support goes, I always replace the manufacturers inserts with my own SofSoles which give much greater arch support. I have been wearing Asics for 10 years and always buy a size 10M, even though I wear an 8.5M in street shoes. I have a fairly narrow foot and if properly laced for narrow feet, these are a good walking shoe.

I had a pair of Asics about 10 years ago that I really liked. When I tried these on they were so comfortable, I was so happy. But when I walked around the house, they were sliding up and down on my heel. No matter how tight I tied them they would slide up and down! What a disappointment. Maybe if the heel had more padding it wouldn't have bothered me as much, but not much padding at the Achilles area (and kind of high, too). So these had to go back. Maybe they would work for someone else, cause other than this they were comfortable.

I like these shoes a lot, especially for the sale price. I like that they have a textured pattern so they don’t obviously show dirt when my kids step on my feet or want me to run around after them at the park. These have good grips too. These were comfy straight out of the box. I have moderately wide feet and I always find ASICS to have more room in the toe box than others (for example Nike or Saucony). The shoes feel a little sturdy, which I like, and I would say they are more suited to trails/trail running than some of the other ASICS I have (which are much lighter and better for the treadmill, when my unfit self and my feet get really hot).

I love the style and the textured sole of these sneakers, but even the wide shoe I ordered was too tight to be comfortable for long periods of time. My foot hung over the sides enough to feel unsupported. Disappointed that I had to send them back.

My third pair of these

Nice color combination; comfortable fit.

Absolutely perfect for the arch support I need and a fix for my supination issues. The collar is high enough to help protect my rolling ankles, but not so high as to rub blisters. Great style and super comfortable. The toe box is just slightly bigger than the GEL-Contend 5 and the GEL-Excite 5 which is what I need for my feet with issues. They felt so good out of the box, I ordered a second pair in another color.

A nice and sturdy walking or light hiking shoe. I have a wide toe, narrow heel, and I need good arch support, and this shoe works for all of it!

I got these to walk in. They are a comfortable shoe, great support. I normally walk 2 to 3 miles 4 to 5 times a week
