Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 6

I agree with some of the other reviews that there isn't enough cushion in the toe box. Also...they're kind of ugly! At least in the color I bought...

I like these sneakers BUT my orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist didn't like the tightness of the sneakers near my middle of my foot. They want me to get a sneaker with a wider "stance" near the middle of my foot.

ASICS just don’t cut it anymore. Quality, comfort and size have all gone down. Time to change brands.

SO COMFORTABLE but only for standing, because as soon as I walked in them my heels slipped while at the same time the ankle collar felt too tight. Super bummed out because until I walked in them they were the winners in my never ending search for sneakers. Perfect for supination tho.

I had a pair of Asics about 10 years ago that I really liked. When I tried these on they were so comfortable, I was so happy. But when I walked around the house, they were sliding up and down on my heel. No matter how tight I tied them they would slide up and down! What a disappointment. Maybe if the heel had more padding it wouldn't have bothered me as much, but not much padding at the Achilles area (and kind of high, too). So these had to go back. Maybe they would work for someone else, cause other than this they were comfortable.

I really love the color and design of the shoe. However, they seem to be pretty wide. I would say I have an average foot width.

These shoes feel hard as a rock. I got them to replace other asics trail shoes which I had for 4 years. I am definitely planning on searching for new inserts that will make these more comfortable. They also do not have quite as good of traction as their other trail version. I am only keeping them because the sizing is right which is hard for me to find.

smaller than expected fit is ok wish there was more arch support

Unfortunately this is the second pair of ASICS that the stitching came apart at the toe. I have barely broken them in. They are comfortable and I like the style but sadly the toe area doesn’t hold up as the rest of the shoe.

The shoes feel quite stiff and hard without much give to them. Hopefully they will wear in to feel more comfortable ultimately. But definitely if I were trying them on in the store, the hard feel would make me hesitate buying them. Not like the ASICS I had previously. I think this is happening with many shoemakers who are just not making shoes as well anymore.

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.

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 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.

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.

Basic shoe for a teenager.

I really wanted to like these because I like the way they look. But, they were so uncomfortable for me...I don't know why, but I bought them because I do not pronate. Most shoes seem to be for people who pronate. And these provided no support for me at all. I couldn't even walk around the living room comfortably. I can't say why but I roll outwards in them.. I need a neutral support. So, back they went. Bought a pair of New Balance instead.

I am a lady with big feet. I am a little self conscious of this fact, and look for shoes that are flattering. I don't know if its the style/ colors, or the design of this shoe, but they looked ridiculous on my feet. Like a cartoon character. Im sending them back for another style. They weren't super comfortable either.

Seems the the quality in the area of support just isn't what it used to be. I keep having to return shoes.

This particular shoe just seemed way too large; almost a man's size. I wear a 12 women's and this shoe was way too loose. I am returning it for size 11 1/2; for the style is perfect.

Unfortunately I had to guess on the comfort level of this shoe because it was too narrow and too small for me to even try to wear it. Sending it back & looking for another option.

loved the shoes, but they ran a half of size bigger. so will re order. very comfortable..
