Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Rocket® 6

I swear by this sneakers for tennis. They have a non-skid sole and a wide base. I have a skinny big foot so I tend to turn my ankle in other sneakers. These have a breathable mesh fabric so my feet do not get too hot.

Beautiful shoe! runs small. I wear a ten and my toes bumped the end of these. I didn't like the pointed toe, insole does not come out so I could use my orthotics, the high stiff collar rubbed my ankles so I must return this shoe I think so beautiful.

I got this for my daughter who had just recovered from a knee problem and had decided to play squash. I was reluctant, as squash is hard on the knees, but decided to let her go through with it. When she first started playing with regular non-marking shoes, her knees started acting up again. However, once she started using ASICS GEL-Rocket 6, the pain disappeared completely. these shoes are well supported and were just what she needed.

Since I am new to the sport of tennis, I tried using cross-trainers during my tennis lessons. Well, either my instructor is getting a kick-back from athletic shoe manufacturers or he is a stickler for using the right equipment for the job (sport). He insisted that club rules stated that we had to wear tennis shoes for the sake of our own safety and to maintain the appearance/condition of the court. I felt like Goldilocks when trying on court shoes: some were too big, some were too small; some were too stiff, some were too flexible. After half a dozen different brands and styles, I found some that were just right! These shoes offered the stability, support, and grip/traction that a beginner would need. I have worn these shoes a dozen times (for 1-1.5 hours at a time) and found them very comfortable despite the lack of a contoured insole. One could probably insert a custom orthotic but that is a matter of preference. Additionally, I found that my normal street shoe size worked better for me (I typically buy a 0.5-size larger in running shoes).

I wear these court shoes for tennis 3-4 times a week. Supportive, comfortable and lightweight. Tried other brands, and keep coming back. Great shoe.

This is a volleyball/indoor court shoe, which I somehow did not notice when I ordered. The soles are very hard, not flexible. I am wearing them outside for walking on asphalt/concrete and find them to actually be very comfortable, also they seem to be lasting longer than running shoes.

I ordered this shoe for my daughter. It wasn't available in her size in any of the sporting goods stores in our area and the odd sizes they did have had a higher price tag. She loves this shoe and says it's very comfortable and performs well for her on the court.

Let me start by saying I'm an Asics girl! First time buying a court shoe, however. I'm doing P90X3 and that's what was recommended. (A court shoe not necessarily Asics). So now that's what I'm doing...recommending them!

This is my first pair of gym shoes, and I really like them. I feel much more steady on such a flat and wide surface when lifting weights. And I wear them for tennis too, which has been great.

These are great volleyball shoes. This is my daughter's 2nd pair. Can't beat the convenience of Zappos!

Love these shoes! I wear them to teach high impact aerobics and they are perfect for me! They are low profile for side to side movements, flexible, comfortable and last long! I bought these in my everyday shoe size rather than size up 1/2 a size like suggested for running shoes and they are fabulous! I will recommend.

I have been looking for a shoe I can wear for multi-directional training as well as tennis. This sneaker was a good choice but I probably need to alternate with another similar product. Have had for a month and wear four out of six days of exercise including two to three sessions of singles tennis and three hours of cross training. The netting/foot support structure is already starting to break down a bit. This is an attractive and functional shoe, just not especially durable.

I wear these for an adult coed Rec team. They work great. Love them. I also wore them on a first date because it was before a volleyball game. They are okay for that too.

I LOVE my new Asics tennis shoes. and I mean LOVE. wore them right out of the box, totally comfortable, no break in necessary. Did need to return the first pair for 1/2 size larger, and Zappos people made it totally pain free. NOTE: usually wear a 7 1/2 and I needed 1/2 size larger. love the service from Zappos, no kidding... thanks.

Bought these for my daughter. She loves them. She put them on and played volleyball all day without any blisters. Very stylish!

I just got these in the main today and have been wearing them around the house for the last few hours. So far so good! I purchased both the 7 and the 7½ after reading the reviews that the sizing was off. I am normally a pretty true 7 and guess what? The size 7 fits perfectly! Thank you, Zappos, for allowing free shipping and free returns! I purchased these not for volleyball but as mandatory all white work shoes. Although they are not as bouncy as my Asics DuoMaxs (which are super bouncy) the gel sole is definitely not stiff as some other reviews said. However, if you require a lot of arch support these may not be for you. Bottom line: These shoes are true to size, comfortable and I think they are great!

Love this shoe! I have high arches and poor balance, so the popular running shoes with breathable mesh don't give me the support I need. But I definitely want something more fun than the white or black leather walking shoe. This shoe has support without being stiff and is so comfortable. My feet and legs love them!

Great start up sneakers for youth volleyball. My 11 year old daughter likes them a lot. Great fit and comfort, solid support.

I bought this pair for badminton. The shoes are OK. I liked the looks and the tightness on the feet so that my toes are not hitting the tip of the shoes when I run around the court especially at sudden stops (that happens a lot in badminton games). However, the bottoms are pretty flat that somehow generated impact to my ankles. Also the is bit hard that is expected. It is half a size larger. Nevertheless I am OK with it. The buying experience with Zappos was very good. Considering one of the shoes that I bought had defects that almost tripped me to fall in my games. I contacted Zappos and customer service immediately agreed to exchange the shoes for me even though they were worn. The new pair arrived three days after. Also, I was able to return the defective shoes for free. On top of that, I got store credit due to the change on the price. I like the customer service from Zappos. Special thanks to Marissa who processed this transaction. She was professional, knowledgeable and friendly.

Love the shoe. runs a bit short for me. I usually take a 7 but I wanted a 7.5 because I have a wide foot. Fits nice and I hope to not turn on my ankle in these great shoes. Note. Also using active ankles with the volleyball shoe.

This sneakers are so comfortable!I use them to play table tennis and they are perfect! They have pretty good grip and don't make your feet feel hot as most sneakers do. They have a nice arch support too! And the quality of the shoe is great! Perfect!

I love these shoes! I bought them for fencing classes/tournaments. I bought 10½ since people said it was a tight fit. And it was a tight through the ball of the foot! Wide widths would be nice. The shoes are very comfortable though they had to get stretched out a bit. They work really well for fencing, much better then any other athletic shoes that I have had. They are well worth the money. My feet do not hurt anymore!

My daughter loves these shoes! They fit great abd give her great control of movement and support on the court!

Excellent shoe, great fit and comfort, great on the court. Shipping was expeditious!

I bought these shoes for my daughter for volleyball. She indicates that they fit well and are comfortable. She said there are at least 7 other girls on the team with the same shoes. Could be because they are comfortable or because the price was better than other options. At any rate, a good value.
