Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-VENTURE 6 trainers are designed for kids who need durable, comfortable footwear for outdoor adventures and everyday wear. Their key benefit is the trail-specific sole offering excellent traction on rugged terrain, combined with GEL cushioning for superior comfort. A potential caveat is that the sizing is specific to children's UK foot sizes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running on hard surfaces?
While the GEL cushioning provides some shock absorption, these trainers are specifically designed with a trail-specific sole for grip on rugged terrain. For dedicated road running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe lines.
How do I determine the correct UK children's size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart or measure your child's foot length from heel to toe and compare it to the equivalent UK size. Ensure there is a little room for growth.
Can the sockliner be replaced?
Yes, the sockliner is removable and can be replaced with a new one or custom orthotics if needed. Ensure the replacement fits properly within the shoe.
What is AHAR Outsole material?
AHAR stands for ASICS High Abrasion Rubber. It's a durable rubber compound placed in critical areas of the outsole to enhance longevity.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The ASICS GEL-VENTURE 6 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and traction; for waterproof footwear, look for specific GORE-TEX or waterproof-treated options.
How often should I clean the shoes?
Clean the shoes as needed, especially after particularly muddy or dirty outings. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth will help maintain their appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are tied evenly. If the shoe still feels tight, consider if the size is correct or try removing the sockliner for a bit more room.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
While designed for trails, extremely wet or muddy conditions can affect grip. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. For very slippery surfaces, exercise caution.
Difficulty putting shoes on
Utilize the pull tab on the heel. Ensure the tongue is fully forward and the laces are loosened before sliding the foot in.
Foot odor
Remove the sockliner and allow both the shoe and sockliner to air out completely between uses. Wash the sockliner separately with mild soap and water if necessary, and ensure it dries thoroughly.

- Durable construction for long-lasting use.
- Easy to put on and take off.
- Versatile for both trail activities and casual wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ASICS GEL-VENTURE 6 trainers come ready to wear. Ensure the laces are properly tied for a secure fit. If using custom insoles, remove the standard sockliner first.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for outdoor activities and general wear. They are compatible with various surfaces, including trails, parks, and pavements. For specific sports requiring specialized footwear (e.g., basketball, indoor court sports), other ASICS models might be more appropriate.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the synthetic upper with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can deform the shoes.
- Socks: It is recommended to wear appropriate socks with these trainers to enhance comfort and hygiene. The removable sockliner can be washed separately if needed.
