Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 6

These shoes felt great on my feet from the moment I pulled them out of the box! No breaking in needed.. And I have had many compliments on them.

Initially I loved these shoes. After a few weeks I noticed the bottom of my feet and ankles hurt all of the time! Took a break from these shoes an the pain went away. Went back and the pain returned. IMO, these shoes are terrible!

Love these shoes. I wear them to work in the medical field. I am on them all day and will go for long walks after work. They are nice and roomy and they fit my custom orthotics well!

Size 7 wide was too loose. I exchanged for size 6.5 wide, across toe areas tight with socks, unless I wear very thin socks, but that was not the plan. Had to return. I had several pairs of ASICS over the years, 7 wide with an occasional 7.5 wide had always worked well, until now.

I usually wear Asics Gel Nimbus running shoes. I thought I would try these because I do have some supination (feet rolling out). This Asics shoe claims to address that problem, and it probably does. But I won't get to find out because the shoe is really sub par. It's very stiff; the loop where the laces cross is very lax; there's little support for the foot; and the shoe is plain uncomfortable. I'm going to try the Asics Gel Nimbus 20, but the 19's had such a tight toe box, that I'm not optimistic. What has happened to Asics? They used to be a shoe I could ALWAYS count on.

Love these shoes. Very comfortable. I have had these before, and they lasted for a long time. I am on my feet all day, and they held up for about a year.

Love the color. Very comfortable. Well made.

Seem to run wide

I used to wear ASICS in size 7, several pairs, but this one is at least 1/2 size too big. That is why I am giving it 4 stars. Returning my 7 in exchange for 6.5.

These have been comfortable shoes. I teach gym classes at an elementary school so I'm on my feet all day. These have worked well. Have to wear a thinner sock than I'm use to with this type of shoe.

Loved the fit and support. Will be getting another pair!

Wish the arch support was a little higher but other than that it’s fine. I used to wear Nikes, but didn’t feel like the cloth exterior (it’s seems like that’s all they offer these days) offered enough support. These ASICS are much better in that regard.

Cute color, but the fit is off. I've worn size 8.5 Asics for years, so when I ordered these, I automatically ordered 8.5 and they're a half size too big. Why mess with something that works?! Frustrating.

Been looking for asics with decent room I the toe box. These are it. Rooms comfy like asics are and didn’t have to order a size up or down. When ordering a size up the whole shoe is bigger. So annoying. These are great. True to size.

I ordered a medium width and they are too wide. My foot is on the narrower side, so if your feet are more "normal" width, you should be OK. They did look and feel clunky.

These are a great sneaker for anyone with a higher arch. Super fit and very comfy.

Really nice shoe for the price - and definitely wide enough for my problematic feet (bunions - ugh). Lots of toe room, too.

These sneakers do not run consistant. I have another pair in the exact same style and the toe is slightly rounder, making them more comfortable. Supportive but must return due to tight toes (ordered Wide).

Ok, a little stiff

I liked the look of the shoe. After reading many of he reviews I opted to go up a half size. Which when I received them felt much larger than 8.5 and wide for a normal width. So unfortunately I am returning.

I have had multiple surgery's on my feet and I am missing bone in my right foot. I have ordered many pairs of shoes from Zappos and for that I thank them for the speedy deliveries and the ease of returning items. I put the ASICS GEL-Venture?® 6 on my feet and knew they were the ones I would be keeping. Their form fitting to the bottom of my feet, which are very different from each other, these shoes are very comfortable for my mismatched feet. Yes the toe box is a little wide but I found with tightening the shoe laces some in the front some and having them loose at the top was a perfect fit. I was happy that I read the reviews as I usually do and realized to order a half size bigger. Thank you Zappos!

Excellent. I ordered the med and wide width and kept the wide. Size 10 is true to size. Great support, looks very nice, and I have room for my thin orthodic. Great price.

These are very stylish as well as comfortable. I can wear them all day without my feet hurting.
