Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Rocket® 4

Zumba class is my primary reason I bought these. It's been almost a year now. They are awesome shoes; they are perfect for lateral agility and stability, they look great, they pivot well (which I recall needing in racquetball). So, instead of buying ugly dance sneakers that have no function outside of the studio, these sneakers are perfect!

Great shoes for indoor sports with wood floor such as racquetball. A light and comfortable shoe with great support and traction.

Bought for high school volleyball. Great grip on floor. Seem to get better vertical with them, too.

I take Zumba classes a lot which require lots of lateral movement. These sneakers were the answer. They also look great too. I ordered 1\/2 size larger than normal and they worked.

This is my second pair of Gel-Rocket 4 Asics. The first pair was worn out after 2 years of badminton playing. More comfortable compare to Mizuno and Yonex badminton shoes and it takes me wherever I want to go on the court. Great shoes!

Good shoes! I bought these for my son and he loves them. He uses them to go to the gym with me. He is 11. I have two pairs of Asics and I may never purchase another brand of athletic shoe!

The Asics run. The size 5 is too small, so I ordered the shoes. The .5 is size bigger. They fit perfectly. The gentleman who took my order was friendly and helpful. the shoes arrived one day before the promised date. I won't hesitate to purchase another pair of shoes from Zappos.

I just played a 2 hour round of racquetball with these and love them. I do not know if shoe companies are making their sizes smaller or my foot is getting bigger, but with Asics I wore size 12 for years, then 12.5 and now I prefer these in 13's. The low-profile felt great and the soles gripped the court very well. After the match they were comfortable to wear around. I have a wide forefoot and these let my toes splay very comfortably. The price was awesome. Zappos is awesome. I ordered these Saturday evening and had them on my doorstep by Monday afternoon.

These have been fantastic shoes. I\'ve been playing up to 4 nights a week of indoor volleyball for over 6 months and there was hardly any break in period. I\'m really happy to get such a shoe at a low price!

The shoes fit my son very well. He uses them for volleyball and outside basketball courts. I ordered them on Friday after 10pm and they arrived on Monday evening. I love the speedy service.

I wear 9 1/2 in most brands, occasionally I wear a 9, for this shoe I bought in 9 1/2 and had to return it for a 10. Once I got the correct size I am pleased with the comfort and functionality of this shoe. I use it for racquetball and have no complaints, this is my first pair of Asics. I will buy this brand again.

Nice and rapid delivery.

Very good shoes for Squash players. The soles of the shoes are very durable but the brim of the shoes are very flexible, so when you need to make that extra stretch your shoes will cooperate.5 Stars

I was shocked how quickly I received my order from Zappos, it was at my doorstep within two days of order. The size was right and I was satisfied with the purchase. I definitely would use Zappos again for shoe purchases. The Asics Gel-Rocket 4 was a great value for the price.

I am a tournament racquetball player and ASICS Gel-Rockets are my shoe of choice even in consideration of the Ektelon and ProKennex shoes. The ASICS are well cushioned and have an overall snug fit so there is no slippage. The edges of the traction surface is rounded to enable smooth rolling into shots, but at the same time provide sufficient stability when setting your feet as you begin to shoot. They are very durable and lightweight so I don't feel I am clumping around the court with heavy weights on my feet. The ankle cut is low so these are not the shoes for you if you need ankle support, but are perfect if you are looking for a shoe to enable quick lateral movement.

I was looking for an affordable pair of work out shoes for the gym and found these fit the bill. The size is a bit snug, but they actually feel really comfortable. Great Zappos shipping and support, I had the shoes the day after I ordered them. Zappos is the coolest!

These are excellent, reasonably priced shoes that are used for squash. They are comfortable with excellent cushioning. The only problem with them seems to be that the sizing is off. They run large, but seem to run very large on some people and not so much with others. I do not know anyone who has bought these without having to return them for another size. However, Zappos makes this very easy -- just order two -- your normal size and one size smaller and return the one that doesn't fit!

I was surprised how fast they arrived. I ordered around noon central time and they were here the next day. I use this shoe for racquetball. I ordered these in my normal size, but these seemed a bit small and I actually went up a full size since I have a bit wider foot. They feel great when playing. Customer service was very helpful and even shipped out my new pair before I shipped the other pair back.

These shoes are great for racquetball. Used it for a few games now and it gives good traction in the courts. Game last night my opponent was complaining about the dusts in the court causing his gum rubber shoes to slip where else my adhered well. Great service from Zappos! I ordered my actual size although tempted to get half size bigger based on the other feedback on Asics shoes. Luckily blue wasn’t available in half size bigger. It is a little tight on the sides compared to my Nikes. Maybe it is tighter so that the foot won’t slip laterally, especially in racquetball and volleyball. Half size bigger would have been too long because my size 12.5 already have can fit a finger between the toes and the front of the shoe.

These are great shoes. They are very lightweight, with good support and traction. The sizing seems to be a little odd. Everyone I know who's ordered these (me included) has had to get a different size, both larger and smaller. Mine seemed tight at first, so I got a half size larger, which turned out to be too large.

The shoes and Zappos performed flawlessly. I try several brands of athletic shoes, but always end up with Asics because they consistently fit well.

This shoe provides excellent value for the money, and it is versatile enough to use for a range of indoor sports activities. I use it primarily for fencing and prefer it to much more expensive fencing shoes. I find that it provides excellent cushioning and support. Also, the outer sole provides excellent traction on virtually any fencing surface, and the upper holds up well to scuffing. I also use the shoe for cross-training activities like weightlifting, jumping, sprints, and cardio. I am 48, so the shock absorption is particularly appreciated.

Very standard squash shoe. Best value, they do wear down a little faster than the more expensive Aasics models but not enough to justify the big price jump. Nothing fancy, just gets the job done.
