Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Rocket® 6

Bought these shoes for racquetball and very happy with them. Good ankle support for quick lateral movement and fairly sticky soles to grip the wood floor. Could use slightly more padding for the bottom of the foot, but overall a good buy.

Great shoe for volleyball. I'm 6' 5" and 230 lbs, and this shoe saves my knees every time I come down from a jump at the net. No matter how I come down, the cushioning of this shoe is enough to provide a soft and stable landing.

I use these shoes for fencing mainly on sport tilling. The fit is true to size. The sock liner is not removable but has enough arch support that I do not need an insert. They are low profile and lightweight. The grip is OK but a little slippery on some surfaces. Overall they are a good value for money and a good evolution of the Rocket line.

I like the shoes very much. But what I really like was the service I received. I originally bought a pair that were about 1/2 size too small. Then, being the slothful shopper I am, did nothing about it for three months. I finally called Zappos' service line and was amazed at how accommodating they were with a switch to another size. The customer service I received was outstanding... and real friendly. Kudos Zappos!

I bought these to play volleyball in a rec league and have worn them for a couple of weeks now. They're comfortable. No complaints. They seemed a little snug in terms of width when I first tried them on, but it is not noticeable after playing a few games in them. The games are in a gym that tends to has a slippery floor, and these shoes seem to have better grip than the basketball shoes I had been playing in previously. (I only wear these shoes indoors at the games.) The color looks more silver in person than they do in the picture.

The shoes are very comfortable to wear and provide excellent cushioning. They are great on wood floors. But they lose traction on PV floor, like a handball court.

This shoe felt great right out of the box, but I'm less than impressed with the on court performance. I'll give it a 3 out of five on just general court feel.

These were my favorite sports shoes, except for the fact that they do not have removable insoles. I typically wash the insoles every couple of weeks. I had to cut the insoles out with a razor and replace them with new ones. They're no longer any good.

I have been using these shoes for squash for the last several years. They used to be excellent but my most recent two pairs broke down much more quickly and seemed to have less support underfoot.

BAD shoes. Overall the construction of the shoe is great, however the insoles are garbage. Wore holes in them quickly rendering the shoes obsolete. Very disappointed for Asics.

When I first received these shoes I was extremely excited to wear them. They just look cool! I was going to use them for gym shoes/weight room/cross training. I have to admit I was extremely dissappointed with the way the shoe was sown on the inside. The way the fabric lays causes an uncomfortable bump on the outer and inner part of each arch in the shoe. I have high arches so I didn't think this would be a problem at first, but after three days I just can't get over it. It also forces all of my wieght onto the inside of my ankle which caused extreme unstability. Great looks, but overall not impressed with this shoe.

Poor quality shoe. Began to fall apart within 2 months. Not recommended.

Very disappointed with this shoe. The fit is small, if it has gel in the shoe you sure can't tell and there is little to no support in the shoe. Not the build quality of the old Asics.
