Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 6

I have bout Asics for over 10 years now and that is one shoe that I can guarantee will fit great everytime. Love the color this time. I got the Gray and Sand pink. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

These are true to size....very stylish and comfortable.

smaller than expected fit is ok wish there was more arch support

This is my second pair of Asics Gel Venture 6. I love this shoe. I would recommend that if you are going to use an orthotic that you size up 1/2 size. I originally got a 9.5 and my toes were almost at the top of the shoe. Sizing up to a 10 allowed me to put in my orthotics and be comfortable all day long. Heel is narrow, which I like as I have a AAA heel and a AA foot with bunions on the big toes. Would buy these again and again.

I have been looking for a hiking shoe for over a year and purchased this pair and a pair of Merrill Moab II Vents, knowing I could return them if they didn't fit well. Surprise, they both fit and feel great so I am keeping both pair. Still trying to decide which pair will go to Europe with me though! I have custom footbeds so I don't really know about the support of this shoe in that regard, but the fit is very good. I am a solid 9.5 wide and the toe box of this shoe gives me the room I need to keep my Morton's Neuromas happy. Or at least pain free.

The asics model has changed over time. I had a hard time finding another pair I liked after the Gel Equation-8, but the Gel-Venture 6 hold up. The shoes are comfortable and provide the right support.

I bought these for my teenage daughter in marching band and drum line. The shoes give her some nice support for all the running around. And the price is great as well.

These shoes were very comfortable right out of the box. I wore them all day on the first day and they felt very good. The gel in the heel adds a lot. It's great to be able to try a couple of sizes and with free returns.

I always wear half size up in running shoes. Got a 9, but my heel slips. Otherwise they're comfortable in the toe box and have good cushion, hopefully 8.5 will work!

COMFORTABLE, right from the box--also, the very FIRST pair of ASICS where the wide width was truly, a width wide enough for my very wide feet. I typically have to resort to men's Asics in a 4E--and these shoes are comparable. And, love the colors-attractive shoe-IMO.

Great price for a quality shoe. Really love the 24 hour customer service

I ordered these shoes after reading a lot of reviews. I am extremely happy with them. Ever since my first pair of Asics running shoes many years ago, that is all I wear. The fit is perfect for my feet and never need a breaking in period. I am not a runner but use them for walking and the gym.

Very accurate sizing. I really loved the color combination.

The shoe looks great and fits true to size for me. I always substitute a better arch support than the shoe comes with so cannot vouch for the arch support. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.

These are my go-to workout shoe. I have struggled with plantar fasciitis for years off and on (and am currently having problems with it in my right foot). I have an older version of these, but had decided to try something new to see if it helped my plantar fasciitis, and so tried a different brand of shoe. Those shoes were comfortable in other ways, but didn't provide the support I needed. I ordered these, and my foot felt better instantly. I also have flat arches, so they may not work for everyone, but they have worked well for me.

I think this is the first pair of athletic shoes that I did not feel the necessity to buy orthotic arch supports. Super comfortable right out of the box! In fact, I put the shoes on and drove over to our local state park which has lots of incline/decline terrain and walked over 2 miles in them with no issues. I love the accent color with the gray. I would definitely buy these again!

this shoe was very uncomfortable after an hour of wearing them, could not wait to get them off. Material was of poor quality, plus the shoes came with a CARDBOARD - like shoe insert. I am asking for a return and refund.

Fits perfectly and very comfortable

The end of 2015, I decided it was time to start taking better care of myself and part of that was moving more. As the weather got nicer, I started walking outside, one mile led to another and now I walk 3 - 7 miles almost every day. I went through several pairs of another expensive shoe and realized I couldn't afford to keep that up. (Each pair was lasting 3-4 months.) So, I shopped around and 6 months ago, found these. I LOVED these straight out of the box! I put them on and hit the sidewalks in my sweet little town! (I order .5 size up and wide for my walking shoes because my toes like the wiggle room.) There was no discomfort, no breaking in period; woo-HOO! for well-made, comfortable walking shoes at a GREAT price! I could buy almost 3 pairs for the price I was paying for the other shoes. Not gonna lie, before a month was out, I came back and ordered 3 more pairs. And, about a month after that, 2 more pairs, just in case they decided to discontinue them! So, here we are 6 months later and I have just started wearing my second pair. (So - cost less AND last longer? WIN - WIN!) The first pair is still great for every day shoes, but showing initial signs of wear and it's SO important to take care of your feet, knees, back! if you want to continue putting the miles in!!
