Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Rocket 12

These shoes fit true to size. They are comfy and the look is great!

Fit and size are great. My granddaughter loves them!

I have exclusively worn ASICS trainers for years, and usually find the 9.5 to be ample/roomy. These are snug. I like the fit, the look, and the lateral support, but they feel closer together to a 9.

These shoes were a disappointment. I recently started playing pickleball and needed some court shoes. I ordered two pairs (sizes 10.5 and 11) not knowing which would fit. I usually wear anywhere from a 10 to an 11 depending on the shoe, and usually in an athletic shoe I go a bit larger, so I figured one of these two would fit. I tried the 11s first. They rub on my heel area, the toe box is particularly snug, and the uppers are extraordinarily stiff and uncomfortable. They also have absolutely no arch support in them at all... Flat as a pancake inside, and the padded insole is extremely thin. Other than the toe box being snug, the width was fine -- any wider and I probably couldn't wear them. The length of the 11 was a tiny bit short; I probably could have gotten away with an 11.5, assuming that they have that size. I've never worn an 11.5 in any shoes in any brand though, so these definitely run small in length. Also worth noting, the mesh area on the top is very, very thin. I had on a pair of white "Gold Toe" socks, and I could see the gold part through the mesh. I have other athletic shoes with mesh inserts on top, but none of them are transparent. I never even bothered to take the 10.5s out of the box. Also worth noting, I have two pairs of Asics running shoes, both size 10.5, and although I don't actually run in them they are comfortable for running/banging around in. I thought these shoes might be a good deal. They are priced well, but I guess you get what you pay for. The only positive thing I can say about them is that they are good looking shoes. But I can't wear them so they are going back.

Wow, Can't believe these are Asics. They are hard, very little padding. When I took a step the glue that held down the very thin insert made noise. I have 5 different pairs of Asics, these are horrible. They look good but that's it. Going right back.
