Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 6

I recently replaced Gel Venture 5’s with these Gel Venture 6’s. I walk on dirt roads and prefer a shoe with a sturdy sole and a little more aggressive tread than the typical walking shoe. The Gel Centure 5’s fit the bill very well. These Gel Venture 6’s - not so much. They are very comfortable for knock around wear, doing errands, etc. However I personally find the sole a bit too soft for walking on dirt roads, and the tread doesn’t feel as secure as the 5’s did. The price is very reasonable, though! So I have replaced the basic insole with the slightly pricey Spenco Total Max Support inserts in the hope the Gel Venture 6’s will feel more sturdy.

Arch support was ok, fit seemed accurate for a 9, just the color was very dull. Ordered another Asics pair that was grey but also had pink to liven it up.

Read other reviews about these shoes being too wide in the heel. I tried them anyway and the reviews were correct. I’m an avid ASICS sneaker girl and I’m sad to say they have changed the style. Was sad to return them.

I purchased these for my son and he loves them. This is his third pair.

I initially ordered half a size larger based on reviews I read but ended up exchanging for my original size. I have wider feet than normal so I ordered the shoes in wide and am glad I did. Once I got the right size, the shoes feel comfy and seems to have good support.

I'm normally an 8.5D, but buy a 9D in running shoes to make sure I've got enough room in the toe box. These feel a half size small, so I'm exchanging for a 9.5.

these shoes were very cute and I had high hopes but they gave me blisters under my baby toes - which is very painful. I even put in my own orthopedic insoles but that did not help either. Very disappointed. I felt like I as on an angle when I was wearing them...being pushed forward and downward a bit; maybe that why I got the blisters.

I have a second toe capsulitis, a wide forefoot and bunions. These are very very comfortable in that area. They do feel too wide in the heel, however. The toeboxbeing painfree makes the too big heel worth it for me. No capsulitis/ ball of foot pain during or after exercising with these shoes.

Comfortable sneaker with good support.

This shoe felt fine on a short run, but seems to run large. I am always a size 6 in Asics (have worn exclusively for 10 years) but the front of this shoe was a thumb and a half past my big toe - too much room.

Nice looking shoe, but felt it was a bit loose in the heel so I returned them.

I am always on the search for good comfortable shoes- I am a delivery driver and need a good solid pair for the best support. These work, except I have one thing that keeps happening and it drives me nuts! The shoelaces keep coming untied! I tie them so tight, come undone- I have done double knots, come undone. Is it my movement or the laces? Anyone else find this happening? I am keeping them since I have been wearing them, but bending over throughout the whole day to tie them is becoming a problem...Hmm

I didn’t like the colors in person. The inside materials felt cheap and sort of prickly, also suffocating, like it’s a rain proof type of shoe. Not what I’m looking for, returning it.

I work on my feet all day long, and these felt/fit great right out of the box. Great gripping soles for wet floors. I love the color combo; I got the gray & peach. But what I love the most is Zappos' AMAZING customer service!! I ordered these about 2 in the afternoon, and I got them about the same time the next day!! For free!! How do you do it?!! THANK YOU!!

The toe box was way too short. My toe touched the top of the shoe. I have always loved Asics before this shoe.

Purchased for my 12 year old granddaughter. She texted me that they arrived on time, they fit and she loved them. A triple score, can’t be better than that.

These have been great cross trainers. They have offered great support for my sometimes troublesome feet without feeling constricting. Good traction for walking on any kind of surfaces. One small downside is there aren't a lot of air vents,so your feet might sweat a bit.

Pretty simple shoe. Mainly got for walking and I’m on my feet a lot. They are fairly comfortable and I would probably buy another pair.

I have purchased the same shoes from ASICS for two years now. This is the newest model. For some reason, ASICS decided to deviate from its standard size because these were a half size bigger than every other pair I’ve purchased.

They made my feet, ankles and legs feel a lot better when I went for my daily walk/jog for 2 plus miles each day.

Not crazy about the color combo. Otherwise shoe fit well

Comfortable. Not crazy about the coral. Looked a bit drab.

Bought these for my daughter who has very wide feet and she LOVES them! Great support and she feels like she can walk for miles.

Great shoe for your money

Just received these shoes, have ran in them once and so far I am pleased. I am looking for a shoe that offers good support for running without breaking the bank. I have hardware in my foot from two broken metatarsals, and a tendon issue on my other foot and think these shoes will work for my jogging needs.
