Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 6

They were cheaply made

Good shoe

Not only were these shoes a half size too small; they had definitely been worn by someone else and returned! So, now I have to return these.

I was terribly disappointed in this particular style of ASICS. I have had good luck with them in the past but I have worn these only twice and they have no stability, the tongue and laces press into the top of my foot and I have blisters and the beginnings of shin splints from working out in them. To be fair my feet are difficult to fit as I have very high arches and wide feet. Sadly the only way to find out they weren't going to work was to actually wear them so I cannot return them. I will be going back to Brooks.

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.

These had a strange feel to them. Cheap. But the fit was off, seemed too big and high, I didn't feel like I could comfortable wear them.

These were pretty bad for me. I've been wdaring Asics for years but this shoe really burned my feet. Have no idea why- but returning.

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!

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.

These are the most uncomfortable Asics I have every tried. Tried them on in the house and my feet hurt in 10 minutes. Stiff toe box!
