FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for serious running or trail running?

The ASICS Gel-Venture 6 is trail-inspired but re-engineered for streets, making them best suited for casual wear, daily walking, and light, even trails. For serious or aggressive trail running, a more specialized shoe would be recommended.

How do I clean my Gel-Venture 6 Trainers?

We recommend hand-cleaning your trainers. Use a damp cloth with a mild soap to gently wipe the textile and synthetic upper. For the outsole, a brush can remove dirt. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What is GEL cushioning?

ASICS GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system placed in the midsole of the shoe, typically in the heel and/or forefoot. It's designed to absorb shock during impact, providing comfort and reducing stress on your joints.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The ASICS Gel-Venture 6 features a breathable mesh upper, which is not waterproof. They offer little protection against rain or standing water. We recommend avoiding wet conditions to keep your feet dry and prolong the shoe's life.

Are these trainers true to size?

ASICS generally offers consistent sizing. These trainers are listed as UK 7. We recommend referring to ASICS' official size guide or trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit for your feet.

Can I use these trainers for gym workouts?

Yes, these trainers can be used for general gym workouts, including cardio machines and light weight training, due to their comfort and supportive design. However, for highly specialized training or heavy lifting, dedicated gym shoes might offer more specific support.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you are lacing them correctly, starting from the bottom eyelets with even tension. Check if the size is appropriate, as prolonged discomfort may indicate an incorrect fit. Allow for a break-in period for new trainers.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

While the rubber outsole provides good grip, no shoe is entirely slip-proof on all wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution, especially on extremely smooth or icy ground. Check the outsole for excessive wear.

Foot odor inside the trainers.

Ensure you wear breathable socks. Remove the insoles after use to allow the trainers to air out. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and odors.

Upper material appears dirty or stained.

Wipe down the textile and synthetic upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the trainers in water, which can damage the materials and adhesives.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Comfort: The GEL cushioning system delivers superior shock absorption for all-day wear.
  • Durable Construction: Synthetic overlays and a tough rubber outsole contribute to long-lasting performance.
  • Versatile Use: Suitable for everyday casual wear, urban exploration, and light outdoor activities.
  • Breathable Design: The mesh upper promotes airflow, reducing heat buildup.
  • Reliable Traction: The outsole provides good grip on diverse surfaces.

Cons

  • Limited Heavy Trail Performance: While trail-inspired, these trainers are optimized for streets and light trails, not rugged terrain.
  • Specific Sizing: Available in UK 7, ensuring a proper fit is crucial for comfort and performance.
  • Info needed: Water resistance capabilities are not specified.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your ASICS Gel-Venture 6 Trainers is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Unlace the trainers sufficiently to easily slide your foot in. Ensure your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe.
  2. Adjusting the Fit: Begin tightening the laces from the bottom (closest to the toes) upwards, ensuring even tension across the foot. Avoid over-tightening, which can cause discomfort, or leaving them too loose, which can lead to instability.
  3. Knotting: Secure the laces with a double knot for reliability during activity. The padded ankle collar should feel snug but not restrictive.

Compatibility

  • Surfaces: Primarily designed for paved roads, sidewalks, and light, even trails. Less suitable for highly technical or muddy off-road conditions.
  • Activities: Ideal for casual walking, light jogging, daily wear, and gym use. Not recommended for competitive running or heavy-duty outdoor activities.
  • Foot Type: The neutral cushioning system is generally suitable for a wide range of foot types, though individuals with specific pronation needs may prefer specialized support.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the textile and synthetic upper, gently wipe away dirt and grime with a damp cloth and mild soap (non-detergent). Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt, mud, or debris from the rubber outsole.
  • Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda can also be used inside the trainers.
