Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 6

Comfortable shoes for my wide footed daughter.

Work 12.5 hours in them and my feet feel amazing!

Perfect !!

I have very high arches and had done some research on the best shoes to wear and these were in the top 20. I don’t run but do a lot of walking with my dogs on gravel roads and these are the best. I’ve worn the ASICS brand before but this one is the most comfortable. I felt like I was walking on air. I loved them so much that I bought a second pair to wear indoors when I walk on the treadmill and they are great for that too!!

Fit and size were as expected--but I've worn a lot of Asics so I generally order 1/2 size up. I wear these for treadmill walking and gym workouts, and they're great.

Was a gift for a pre-teen who needed a more 'grown up' looking shoe that is good for running and general sports. She loved them, sizing was true.

This looks nice but it feels very cheaply made. Since it costs $49 that shouldn't come as a surprise. It's also very uncomfortable. No arch support and no cushioning. When laced up snugly the front bunches up. So it's going back.

Love them for work!! I’m on my feet for 12 hours shifts taking care of patients, they are comfortable

Comfortable (wide width and cushy bottom) right out of the box. Will get more of these! Mostly light gray with touches of peach to brighten up the shoes without making them gaudy.

I love these shoes so much so I purchased them for my Mother as well. These are truly wide unlike some of the new Ascis that have come out. They have good support and I wear them to walk and at work where I stand often. I have had my for 6 months and they are holding up well.

Shoe does the job. Does run narrower near the toes. They can be stretched with a few runs. There also isn't as much support as advertised.

I’m really delighted with these shoes. Just as important my podiatrist approves of them as well. She says that the heel is supportive and the instep is sturdy, also providing support. Also, the insole can be removed so that you can use your orthotics. I consider the large majority of athletic shoes to be hideous. These don’t look too bad ??

I don't understand why all the reviews for this shoe say that it has great arch support. With the insole that it comes with, there is almost zero support. I remedied this by putting in some spenco insoles, and now the shoe is great. For the money I decided it was worth it to just use my own insoles, but if you want shoes that are supportive right out of the box you'll have to find something else.

These are my everyday shoes. My podiatrist recommended Asics Gel and I have found them to be an excellent choice. They are recommended because I have a tendency to plantar facitis. They seem to be doing the trick.

My feet are a challenge to accommodate—size 7, high arch, wide forefoot, neutral pronation. But these shoes are excellent. I bought a size 7, D width. They give excellent support, cushion, and performance whether I'm powerwalking or running. They fit great and performed great right out of the box; and after putting 200+ miles on them, they still feel and perform great. I'm buying another pair now so I'll have them whenever these start to wear out!

Have to return...I had tried on an 11, my usual Asics size. Too large all the way around. Went for 10.5. Somewhat better but too wide at heel. Felt like I could step out of it even after trying with an added insole. Cushioning around ankle not as "cushy" as before. Toe bed still roomy as before.Sorry. Loved my Asics in the past.

I needed to buy new running shoes and it has been more difficult than I would have thought. These shoes are OK, they don't seem to be as good as my old ones. The old saying, when you buy sneakers the first thing you do is throw away the inserts, is still true. I use spenco inserts because they have a decent arch support.

These shoes are the running shoes you need. They are reliable, sturdy, and give great arch support. We recently had a flood in our home and thank GOD I had these shoes on. I was able to quickly run everything from the rooms that are flooding to a "safe" area and could do it in record time thanks to these shoes!! They are lifesavers! Literally!

While these size 8W shoes fit lengthwise, they were too tight on the top of my foot and made my socks bunch up, making walking very uncomfortable. They do NOT bend; they are rather stiff. I was hoping for a much more flexible shoe. Sadly, I will return these and look for some gel heels because my husband wears Asics with the gel heel and they are very flexible. Sorry, Zappos.....gotta return them.

Love love love these shoes. I took them camping/hiking this weekend and every time I put them on I reflected on how comfortable they were. I was also really happy with the price, amazing value

I read the reviews and most said they ran small, so I bought the 8 instead of the 7 1/2. They were too big. I should have purchased my regular size. The toe box is wide which is what i need, however, they didn't feel that comfortable to me. If you are unsure, buy both sizes and return the one that doesn't fit.

Good shoe, I've been using this shoe for a while. With this version (the 6), though, it feels bigger. A size 10 was always perfect in prior versions, but this one is just a bit too big.

Fit was fine. Very comfortable. I am on my feet all day and appreciate the heel esp. Good Cushion. By the end of the day still comfortable. Like the style and color

These Asics were, as expected, comfortable and supportive--and the only shoes recommended by my physical therapist. The difference in getting them from Zappo's is there is also a great price this way! I need to wear custom orthotics in my shoes, so I buy the shoes a bit larger than my measured size. Therefore, the arch support comment does not apply to me since the orthotics give the arch support.
