Didn't find these comfortable or flexible. Lots of cheapy human-made materials that might do something for asthetics, but nothing for performance.

I've had bouts with plantar faciitis so I am very reluctant to order just any shoe online...but this one is very supportive and felt great even the first time I played in them. I still need a better insole with more arch support, but that's no surprise...great shoe and looks good too!

I am very happy with my new tennis shoes. They are very comfortable, have good arch and heel support and are lightweight. No complaints here.

I love the look of these shoes but they are too narrow in the toe. So I have to return them.

If you are looking for support and good fit, do not buy this shoe! It is narrow and your heel lifts out. I wore them one time and I ended up with an extremely painful case of bursitis that had to be treated by a physical therapist. Stay away from these tennis sneakers! I would have returned them but my husband threw out the box.

These are great shoes for playing outdoor pickleball. I haven't owned a pair of tennis shoes for quite some time and have been playing in running shoes. What a difference it makes to play in the proper shoes. I have a narrow foot and they fit very well. They are very comfortable right out of the box. Asics is awesome. This is the 8th pair of Asics that I own for various activities.

I have not been able to find a good tennis shoe. I have tried many and have found that most lack the cushion needed for my heel area. So, when I discovered that a running company was producing a tennis shoe I just new that they would understand foot and movement dynamics . Great shoe lots of cushion in the right spots.
