ASICS Women’s Gel-Venture 6 Running Shoe Review – Trail Rated Comfort

 

ASICS Women’s Gel-Venture 6 Running Shoe

In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co. Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name Asics for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase “Anima Sana In Corpore Sano”, which when translated expresses the ancient ideal of ” A Sound Mind in a Sound Body”. Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness.

ASICS products were introduced to the United States in 1977 and brought with them an incredible story of athletic performance and technical advancements, a philosophy which still holds true today.

The ASICS Women’s Gel-Venture 6 Running Shoe has been redesigned allowing you to take on rugged terrain in total comfort. This model comes complete with a trail-specific outsole and high-abrasion rubber for confidence-inspiring traction. Rearfoot GEL® cushioning absorbs shock to keep you comfortable as you pound along the path, while the removable sockliner lets you insert custom orthotics for an even more personalized fit. Weight: 9.0 oz. Heel Height: 19mm. Forefoot Height: 9mm.
