FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The GEL-VENTURE 6 offers a standard fit. While the synthetic leather inserts provide some flexibility, individuals with very wide feet may find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consider sizing up.

How do I clean the GEL-VENTURE 6 trainers?

To clean, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Can I use these for everyday running on pavement?

Yes, the GEL-VENTURE 6 trainers offer good cushioning with their GEL technology, making them suitable for occasional road running. However, for dedicated road running, ASICS trail-specific models might offer superior cushioning and durability on pavement.

What is the main difference between this and other ASICS trainers?

The GEL-VENTURE 6 is specifically designed with a trail-specific traction pattern and reinforced upper for outdoor use, while still featuring the characteristic GEL cushioning for comfort. Its aesthetic has also been updated for urban appeal.

How does the GEL technology work?

The GEL cushioning system is ASICS' proprietary technology that absorbs shock effectively. It is strategically placed in the rearfoot to reduce impact forces during the landing phase of your stride.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?

For optimal comfort and performance, it is recommended to wear moisture-wicking athletic socks. These help manage sweat and prevent blisters during extended wear.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or poor fit

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider trying a half-size up or down, as fit can vary. Check that laces are tied appropriately without being too tight.

Reduced traction on surfaces

Check the outsole for embedded debris like mud or stones. Clean the tread pattern with a brush. If the outsole is significantly worn, it may need replacement.

Squeaking noise during wear

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers or the insole. Try removing the insole and ensuring both it and the interior are completely dry.

Synthetic leather appearing dull

Use a suitable leather conditioner or cleaner specifically designed for synthetic leather to restore its appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
