Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Venture® 6

These are by far the worst shoes I have ever worn. I have a problem with over-pronating. I usually wear New Balance but they changed their shoes so I decided to try something new. With New Balance I'm fine, great arch support. These have no arch support what so ever! I'm over-pronating worse than ever, my inner arch and ankle hurt, and the outside of my foot hurts as well. Also the left shoe painfully rubs the top of my foot. Unfortunately they felt fine around the house, it wasn't until I started breaking them in outside I started having these problems so I can't return them. Huge waste of money. I'm going to try buying inserts for them to see if that helps.

These are the first pair of athletic shoes that I actually hate. They feel comfortable enough, structurally, but after wearing them for a few hours, my feet are horribly hot in these shoes when I'm just wearing them around the house or out for everyday use. I do not usually have sweaty, stinky feet, but these shoes trap heat and moisture so badly, that my shoes actually smell bad now, and I've only owned them for a few weeks now. I've NEVER had this problem with other shoes.

I thought the shoes look cute. Love the color. The shoes was very stiff. Too tight on the top of my feet. Very narrow. They did hurt my feet. Just not right for me and my problem feet. Had to return. Thanks you Zappos your easy return policy. I'll continue to look for that perfect fitted shoes.

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!
