Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 6

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."

I always wear an 8 1/2 in running shoes but these are the biggest 8 1/2's I've ever worn - they fit my orthopedic insoles well and I will just wear thicker socks. I've never worm trail shoes before - these are very structured compared to other Asics running shoes I've owned.

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.

Fits well, sturdy construction, looks great all good things in a pair of running shoes. My podiatrist recommended this brand of shoe for structure and support, and so far so good. A little loose in the heel, but have laced them differently to accommodate.

This shoe felt just a bit too tight on the sides for comfort. I have a bunion so have to be careful of tight shoes. Loved the style and color, arch support felt good. A wider size in this style but different color didn't quite work. Go ahead and try it, you may find you love these. For me, I think New Balance shoes work better.

This shoe looks great and I wanted to keep it. I have a bunion so thought I'd try the wider fit but it felt too wide. Walked in my carpeted hallway a couple of times and felt my foot slipping. Too bad, love the style and color and the arch support felt good. May try in the regular width if available.

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 running shoes were recommended by my podiatrist for joint support. They are comfortable, feel sturdy, and are, I think, attractive. I am looking forward to putting some miles on these!

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 liked the fit and feel of these shoes. Was looking for a trail shoe that wasn't big and clunky but offers good traction and support. I really like the color and style. Lots of room in the toes yet fit well on my heel.

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!

I ordered two pairs of this style in different colors. This one is going back as the left shoe is a little short. My big toes is pressing on the end of one. Returning this pair for a different one.

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!

I was looking for a shoe for elliptical training. This shoe was strongly suggested, but I did not like the fit or feel of the shoe. It was light in weight. However, it was slightly wide for my foot, and my heel hurt while wearing it. I am accustomed to wearing Merrell Barrado almost daily, so this style felt bulky. I ended up buying Merrell Trail Glove 4. This shoe is probably a good choice for someone accustomed to wearing trainers, but was not a good fit for me.

wore them to work. on my feet . . Felt comfortable to me. I don't wear them every day; size felt good. I have narrow feet so they weren't too wide . I live in a tropical climate so I don't wear them a lot. Too hot where I live for everyday wear. But for work and talking a walk they were great .

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

These trainers are comfortable right out of the box. They're supportive, but not too heavy. I'm very pleased with them. The price was unbelievably low, too.

They fit great and feel great.

My daughter said they fit “just the way she likes them”.
