Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 6

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.

I tried using this pair twice on the treadmill. Both times my feet were aching afterwards. Definitely bummed about these because the value was great.

I’m trying these for the first time. ASICS is a brand that I’ve worn before - it rotates in and out of my mix with Saucony mostly, sometimes Reebok. My feet keep growing and I couldn’t find a pair of Saucony running shoes the fit (their sizing seems all over the map right now, within and across styles, and all ran too tight and small for me) so I’m trying these. So far, so good, tho I haven’t used them a lot yet. They seem like they’ll have good support and traction. I tried multiple colors and stuck with the Carbon/lime: merely personal preference. I excited to try them more...

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!!

I trail run and run half marathons. I’ve recently developed a lot of pain in my toes and metatarsals. I bought these shoes because they were supposed to help with metatarsalgia. Unfortunately they severely aggravated the problem even with my orthotics in the shoe. Little cushioning in the shoe/no shock absorption. It feels as though I have a fracture in my big toe after only 3 miles. I’m throwing them in the trash. So disappointing!

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

Love these. These shoes are substantial. They support your foot like athletic shoes are supposed to. The last pair of new balance shoes I bought were thin mesh that didn’t support in any way.

Good basic trail shoe. I actually enjoy these at the gym for my workouts. They don’t slip around and provide good support and grip. Good for walking neighborhoods and trails with older roads, potholes, etc.

These sneakers are amazing! I got them in 9W and they fit perfectly! I have bunions that are often irritated by other sneakers when running. These shoes have enough room in the sides that my pain is significantly lower since using the Asics!

Advertised as Gel. No gel inserts just regular inserts. Not comfortable at all

Size and fit were perfect. Very happy with my shoes and happy I brought two colors.

I had the Gel-Venture 5's and they are the best shoes I've ever owned. Great support, feels great on my foot, adequate space, stylish and great price. After they started wearing down a bit from almost 3 years of constant wear, I searched high and low at local shoe stores to no avail. Thankfully I found the Venture-6 on Zappos and I couldn't be more pleased!!

They fit just right and are very comfortable!

Bought this item twice in different color. Love it. Great for long day walks. Good arch support.

I wear a 9W and these felt true to size. Enough room in the toe box which has been a problem with other Asics's models.

after 20 years of loving asics, something has gone wrong for them for me. I'm not sure why or how, but they literally rub me the wrong way now. Did they change? Am I just older and more sensitive? hard to tell, but I haven't found a style produced since 2017 that fits comfortably.

I usually buy ASICS because the toe box is normally wide enough but this pair felt narrower in the toe box. My toes started tingling and becoming numb after 30” of wear, so I exchanged them for a WIDE of the same size and they are fine.

These sneakers are so comfortable being as though I stand on my feet for at least 7 hours a day.

I normally like Asic. The sole feels very hard.

These are light on the feet and felt comfortable overall. The arch hit my foot in the wrong place, so I had to return them.

I have worn ASICS for years, always the same size. This shoe is comfortable through the midsole, but is so short in my usual size that my toes were all the way up against the front of the shoe. Also, there is a reinforced area on the top of the toe that pressed down uncomfortably on my toes. I'm unsure whether this would still be a problem if the shoe fit me properly.

Very happy with this shoe, bought three pair since they were on sale. I am supinated, so I can be hard to find shoes that work for me.
