I like this sneaker a lot, it's one of the most comfortable sneakers I've ever had. I do think it runs slightly large, as I normally wear an 8 in sneakers but for these the 7.5 fit perfectly. My only (minor) complaint is that I got the black/pixel pink color, and in person it does not look pink at all. I was expecting a bright pink, but it is actually more of an orange-red color. Not a big deal, especially since that color is just the trim, but I think the name is a bit misleading, and had I seen them in person before purchasing, I probably would have chosen a different color combo. But overall I am very happy with these, and hope they hold up for a long time.

I love these shoes. I have ran on the street and the treadmill. Haven't done trail runs yet because I didn't want to dirty them, but I will now. I absolutely love these. I wish they had more bright colors.

I have worn Asics for more than 10 years, starting when I ran alot to now when I mostly walk and jog. My Podiatrists like the Asics brand. However, unfortunately, I think the quality of this brand is declining each year. This venture 6 model Is much less comfortable than the venture 5. Main discomfort is chafing around the ankles because the fabric is rougher than version five. Also the 6 are less comfortable because the sole is stiffer and less cushy than the 5. Love the styling but unfortunately have to return these.

This is my second pair of these shoes. Love the first pair but the second pair is a disappointment. The second pair is not as wide in the toe box and my toes rubs on the side. Visually, its plan to see they are not the same as the first pair. They also seem a bit shorter then the first pair. I will be sending them back.

I like the looks of the shoe but for me wasn't comfortable and didn't provide the arch support that I need. In fact, they felt like there was very little arch support. Returning them.

I have purchased these before and am satisified with the shoe . What is a disappointment is that the box was ripped and if was obvious that these sneakers were a return because the paper was a wrinkled mess and the box did not have the plastic band around it. Very sloppy packaging . They are a gift for my son so I had to get another box and new paper. I have shopped with Zappos for a few years now and get all my shoes from you guys and I have never come across this before. Please don't sent merchandise this way it is really bad business.
I'd also recommend:
Clarks.

I bought 3 pair of these !!! Perfect fit, I wear and 9 and these are a 9. I have a narrow toe bed so that may be why I didn't need to size up. The venture 6 is perfect for my daily walks, I am not a runner. The price was perfect!! Thanks Zappo's!

I have always worn a straight 9 in Asics , so the size was perfect. I will add that I have a narrow toe bed so that may attribute to not needing to size up. I love these and the price was so good I bought 3 pair!!!!! Thank you Zappo's

This is the 2nd pair of Asics I am disappointed with. I have been a die hard Asics customer, but I am seriously reconsidering. These shoes are the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I own. Unfortunately, you have to wear them to figure that out and now I can not return them. In comparison to my other Asics shoes, these shoes look huge, wider, more padding, longer pointed shoe.

Great price and Okay for very casual wear, but not that nicely made. I am returning them and will replace with a more structured shoe.

Asics are my favorite. They not only come in my size but the design has been changed so the toe area has more coverage. I bought two pairs and only need one!!

These are comfortable right out of the box. I have gotten them previously at Zappos and they are always consistent. Thanks to the emails from Zappos alerting me to the sale I got them at a great price too.

These did work with my arthritic foot, but only after I replaced the insole with my orthodics. The heels are a bit too wide but will work. My podiatrist told me to buy these shoes for the support. For what they are, they're fine. I'll buy them again because they do work. Personally, I like the style of my Sketchers better.

Not used to buying such an inexpensive shoe and have it fit and actually be comfortable! But this shoe is it! Don't let the low price fool you. It worked just as well as my $160.00 pair did. Thanks Asics and Zappos!

I origanally purchased these shoes in my normal size but had to return and repurchase a half size up. These sneakers are comfortable and stylish. The color isn’t the hot pink I was looking for...more of a hot red... but I still like them and will be keeping. Great price ($33) for a quality shoe.

I wear a 7, so I tend to need at least an 8 in sneakers. So as far as that goes, these fit perfect. They are cushion-y enough and supportive enough and also feel stable. Great sneakers for the price! I ordered another color.

I always buy sneakers a 1/2 larger even when ordering usual wide width. These were fit perfectly. Have a older version and was glad they still fit the same. Toe box is wide enough without being loose in the heel. Only very minor issue is that the shoe laces are rather short if you want to loosen them to get the benefit of wider width. Seems about 3" longer overall would have been much better.

I am very pleased with this shoe. I have another pair of Asics and they are the best for comfort and agility. I bought this at a great price on Black Friday and I have to say I am very pleased with Zappos. I received the shoes very quickly!

Asics are always my walking/running shoe of choice. They have been great for my feet for years, and it was great to find these on sale. My others were the Venture-5, but this "6" feels great too.
And as always, Zappos is the greatest!

The Venture 6 is a well made shoe. However, they are going back because they are too narrow in the toe box. I was a Asics Nimbus devotee (especially N15) for years. But Asics redesigned the Nimbus shoe making the toebox tapered and smaller. I was hoping, after reading the reviews, the Venture 6 would have more room the toe area. Sadly, they are tapered and tight as well.
