Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Men's Gel-Venture 6 MX Running Shoes by ASICS by Buddy Colbert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feel like a slipper built like a tank

On the left is the ASICS Gel-Venture 6 Men's Shoe (Victoria Blue) with over 600 miles of running track and walkway logged into my running app is shown. At right (in black/phantom/mid grey) is a replacement pair that I just ordered from Revain. My wearing pattern is neutral to slightly supinated. I jog and power hike almost every day, almost 50/50 on sidewalks and trails. Twelve to one and a half hundred miles a year. My opinion on these shoes is that they are excellent training and outdoor shoes, the best shoes for the price I have ever bought. If you're a professional runner, you might be ok for training but not for race day, Capis? You breathe just fine. The Gel-Venture 6 is not waterproof, but it is NOT a "moisture magnet" like many running shoes. I live in the Pacific Northwest, so mud and puddles aren't surprising any day of the year. My exercise app tracks the mileage of my shoes and I was shocked to see the blue pair (left in photos) run 600 miles recently - I really haven't noticed any wear on the gel pads and the soles are in good shape. . Normally other shoes I bought would wear out the soles and after 4-500 miles my feet just hurt. So I recommend the ASICS Mens Gel-Venture 6 running shoes and bought another pair. Enjoy - and don't forget to get outside every day - with quality Smartwool shoes and socks, your feet will love you for it!
