Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 6

Just what I was looking for. A lighter trail hiker that had good traction and good support. I tried them out yesterday walking the dogs in the state forest and I am very happy with my purchase. And of course, there is always great service and prices at Zappos. Thank you!

Favorite athletic shoe! This is actually my third pair of these exact shoes. As soon as they wear down (which takes about a year and I walk 2 miles most days) I order another pair. Good arch support and overall value for the money.

I bought 2 pairs of shoes these and Ryka Sky Walk for a trip we are taking, these by far were the most comfortable of the 2 out out of the box. They are no where near as comfortable as Asics used to be. These are WAY cheaper built, not the old quality, not sure if its just from the internet or all Asics in general but they fit great, not everywhere has size 5.5 so that is a great bonus for me.

I really like the light as air feeling

I took these on a their first run through step aerobics. They passed the test. I can feel my feet after an hour of hard core cardio. ?? Anything else I do, these shoes will do just fine. But I only wear them in step. ?

These shoes are perfect! Inexpensive and comfortable running shoes that are perfect for my upcoming 10k run.

I have wide feet, but found the 7M to fit pretty well. Light weight and comfortable right out of the box! I love the pink peacock color!

I am extremely happy with these shoes. I have very wide feet, and bunions, and underpronate, so it's hard to find a comfortable shoe. I go on pretty long hikes with my dog over fields, through woods, up and down hills and so on, and sometimes I'm hurting pretty bad later that day, but not with these. These were comfortable right out of the box. So many athletic shoes have so much decorative nonsense going on in the big toe joint area that all that extra material hits at the bunion area, but these don't have that problem, which is great. I have gone for several 3.5 to 4 mile hikes in them now, and my knees/hips/etc have not felt better in ages! I ordered a second pair and am contemplating yet another--if I find something that fits comfortably, I like to keep a backup pair or two in reserve.

Review from my daughter: "Excellent shoe for high school Track and Field beginners. Love the support and comfort and looks nice too. Tried a few other ASICS in addition to New Balance (all were good) and Nike (way too narrow!) but the Venture 6 felt the best right out of the box."

The PERFECT shoes for big, wide feet!! These shoes were the perfect width, and are super comfortable. I wear them everywhere. They hold up well, and look great. Would definitely buy again.

Good sizing and fit.

I have bunions and usually order a D-wide, but then found my feet sliding around in a wide. These are perfect, no irritation. Great traction as I run my dogs in Agility, ground could be clay, grass or man-made grass. I bought extra cushy insoles. I am delighted!

These shoes fit so well on my feet! I ordered size 9, wide and they are so comfy and have lots of cushion. The arch support seems decent enough as well.

Finally found a great looking shoe for supination. Have tried many styles(thank you Zappos) that just did not fit correctly and were more expensive. Asics have always been my go-to brand. With my custom orthotic, I am walking on air with stabile feet. Can not vouch for these as running shoes, but they are great for walking and the gym.

I followed the recommendation of putting in a size of something I already wear, which are Asics. I followed the directions on what size to get based on that and it was perfect (even though I knew they would be anyway!). These are wonderfully comfortable shoes. I've never gone wrong purchasing Asics. I can be on my feet at work for hours wearing these and never have tired feet nor receive a blister. The first time I put them on, it's like walking on a cloud. The only time I've ever felt this way is in my Merrell hiking boots. I've never needed to wear Asics to break them in. They are ready to go. Thank goodness!

Finally a dark shoe without a white sole! Fit just liks my last pair of Gel Venture-6. Sole at heel doesn't flare out as much as some styles so I don't catch the heel of my Ladies 11 feet on narrow stair treads and stumble. Space for my orthotic & metatarsal lift if I remove the mfg. insole. Eventually they stretch a bit and I reinstall the mfg insole with my orthotic to keep them snug. I have medium forefoot and narrow heel and suppinate. These don't slip at heel and provide decent arch support. Getting another pair in a lighter color for summer as well.

first i would like to say Zappos is amazing! i had to change style of sneaker because the new model of the asics i wore before hurt my feet. these sneakers are perfect! i bought 2 pairs because i am on my feet all day and also these are great for walking any terrain with my dog! these are great for helping plantar fasciitis and leg pain. thank you zappos for great delivery and return policy!

These shoes are awesome! they're comfortable, very sturdy, and great looking!

They fit great and feel great.

I am very happy with these shoes and plan on buying a second pair. I have a small wide foot (size 6) and originally purchased 6.5 so I could have more space when running. But these shoes are so wide that I was able to return for my normal size 6. There is a ton of space in the toe box so even after my feet have swelled from my long run my toes do not feel cramped. If you have a wide foot and experience a lot of swelling then these are perfect for you. If you are more on the narrow side, these might have too much space. I use these for running on the street on normal sunny days and rainy days and have not had any issues with grip or comfort. I plan on getting a second pair to use just for trail running.

Shoes are exactly what was shown on site. Order was fast with free shipping! I will definitely use a Apple again!

Fit true to size very comfortable . Asics is what I have worn for years and have always been happy with my purchases.

My shoes are fantastic! My foot is to wide for average width shoes. So happy you carry a wider width. Love the look and the fit. Thank you. Enjoyed shopping with Zappo. Quick shipment.

Soooo comfortable!!

As usual not disappointed. They fit exactly how I expected, super comfy and they go with some of my fitness clothes.
