This is the second pair of GEL-Venture 6s I bought for my daughter. They are some of the best shows she has ever worn and hold up to how hard she is on her shoes as a really active kid. Plus she loves the colors!

This is a great sneaker for the price. I usually get a wide width but the regular gives me plenty of room. I am satisfied.

The new version of this shoe is unwearable. As someone with high arches, wide forefoot and narrow heel I struggle to find shoes that fit. I also trail run and like some side stabilization to prevent ankle rolling. Asics did the trick for many years but not any more. Though I bought the wide version of this shoe it's narrower than previous versions and no longer has any side support in the the front foot. There is virtually zero arch support and, most importantly, the extra offset lacing holes that were previously present (used to keep your heel in place) are absent in this version. Ugh. I guess these would work for a light gym workout but not for outdoor running or racquet sports. Going back.

Overall this shoe was comfortable right out of the box, although the cushioning in the front part of the shoe seemed to be a bit less than other asics that I have had. I did replace the insole with a powerstep insole that I purchased from my podiatrist. This improved the arch and overall cushion just a bit.

The only form of tennis shoe, that I own, are ASICS. I own about 10 pairs and all but 3 of them, are the GEL-Venture 5 or 6. I swear by the ASICS brand. Extremely comfortable and they aren't too terribly expensive.

I normally wear a 11, but, they were to short. I got the 11 1/2 and they fit perfectly. They are a keeper.

If you are looking for a light weight running shoe that can get you around on multiple types of surfaces, (gravel, dirt, pavement etc.) this is the shoe for you. I chose to go with a heavier weighted feeling shoe because it was my preference to have a heavier shoe on my feet. If I was going for a lighter feeling THIS would be my number one choice.

This is the third pair I have purchased. Very pleased with the fit, especially the width. Hope these are around for a good while. I have bunions and it is not always easy to find a comfortable sneaker to walk my 4 miles a day plus wear most of the day.

I purchased these to be used for my workouts such as HIIT, body pump, indoor cycling, etc. They are very sturdy and supportive, but need to be broken in a little more to reach maximum comfort level. I love the modern design!

I wanted a basic, inexpensive running shoe with a somewhat traditional style design. These shoes work great for that purpose. The sizing is accurate. I love the peachy "seashell" pink accents. The only negative is that the sole is rather stiff and not super cushiony. I expect them to soften up over time, as my previous pair of Asics did.

I love this pair of shoes. I had the gel venture 5 prior to purchasing this pair. I highly recommend these if you are looking for a pair with moderate arch support and that are comfortable to walk around in all day. I like the new color choices.

This pair of ASICS GEL-Venture are my third purchase of this shoe. I have been so pleased that they are exactly like the last pair...and the pair before that!! Fit like a dream right out of the box. Great quality, well made, perfect fit. I walk/hike every day for two hours, rain or shine. I also don't have a car, so walking is my #1 mode of transportation. These shoes get a lot of miles. So, when I put on the shoes right out of the box I sighed in relief at the great feel and fit.

I bought these about 2 weeks ago. I've been wearing them everyday to work. I work outdoors in all conditions and they've been so comfortable. I have a high arch and these shoes support my arch beautifully.

These shoes are probably the best fitting new shoes I've ever gotten! They fit perfectly and I didn't even have to break them in. I got them, put them on and wore them all day with no discomfort at all! That has to be a first!! Perfect length, perfect width, great colors, I feel good and stylish wearing them.
Thank you Asics!

These shoes are seriously the best ones I've ever bought! I have constant heel pain and as soon as I put these on, I swear it went away! I will definitely be buying more in the future, when these ones give out!

This is my 6th pair of Asics and the only brand I buy. I just wish there was more variety in "wide" shoes at reasonable prices. I recently discovered wide 6 mns ago and when I needed a new pair. I got these shoes and now when I need another new pair I had to get these, the same pair as I had because I couldn't afford any of the other shoes that come in wide. I was hoping to find something that looked different, but I have to have the exact same shoe and color.

This is the second pair of this style of shoes I've bought - even with updates, this pair is exactly what I expected and I'm quite pleased that I found them on sale on the Asics site. These aren't high performance shoes, but they are perfect for being on your feet all day, for walking 1-3 miles, and (now with the old ones) for yard work. I would wholeheartedly recommend for everyday casual shoes.
