I like the solid support of this shoe. This is my 5th pair. I use them for everyday, cross trainer and my old ones for getting dirty. I have issues with my metatarsals so I have to be picky about my shoes. These keep my feet feeling GREAT! I had a pair of ASICS running shoes and after awhile my foot hurt. These seem to do the job.

My daughter is normally a size 9 and we had to upsize to 9.5. They are a little snug! But overall great shoe.

Asics Gel Rocket 8 provides comfort while being a useful all round utility sneaker. It fits true to size and has ample width and toe room. It's fashionable and perfect for walking, circuit training or court games.

I use these for tennis on an indoor all-purpose court. The surface is really slippery and I fell while wearing regular tennis sneakers. These are absolutely perfect. No more slipping!

Out of the box it feels like it fits well. Not sue how it will feel after some use.

I bought the gel 8 rocket several months ago to wear for indoor pickleball. I liked them so much I just ordered another pair to have on hand. They are true to my size. I feel there is enough support for the side to side movements of the game. For the price, a good value.

I love these court shoes. I play Pickleball both indoor and outdoor and these are great either place. They are comfortable, even with my bunion. Zappos did a great job delivering quickly and handling the exchange since I ordered a bigger size than I should have.

I love ASICS for court shoes.

Asics shoes fit me better than any other sport shoe I've worn (Nike and New Balance). This particular model was ordered for wear on the pickleball court. I find it is easy to wear, helps me move as I need to, and does not slip up and down on my heel. I was confident in ordering this brand online without trying on because I have other Asics that fit perfectly. Ordering was easy Zappos carries more and gave me more options than my local stores, and the price was very similar. I like being able to link to my Amazon account, and the delivery was fast. A great experience!

This is my daughter's first pair of actual volleyball shoes and she really likes them. Unfortunately, we had to send back and get a full size bigger, but Zappos made that process fairly painless. She's now in a size that fits her great and all is well. Just a note, a week prior to making this purchase I bought a pair of Nike running shoes for her and a size 5 fit perfect (with a little bit of room in the toe). So we thought going up a half size in this shoe would accommodate some growth... not so much. Order up.

As always great Zappos Customer Service. First pair fit too large (my bad) and refund/exchange (I re-ordered smaller pair) hassle free. Zappos is great for larger sizes than retail stores. Not everyone has a size 7 foot! My daughters and I just look at each other in the store and say, "Let's just order Zappos."

These were the perfect shoes to buy for my workouts. I am trying to get back into a steady workout routine, and these shoes have made it so easy to comfortably get back into running and exercising. I have wider feet, so the width of these shoes helped my pinky toes not rub/callous on the sides. Might be too wide if you have narrow feet, but otherwise a great fit!

Excellent Court Shoes! I use them for tennis. True to size and plenty of room to add supports without crowding your feet. Unfortunately, not very pretty. I wish they would come in prettier tennis colors :(

Worked great for my daughter for volleyball. She loves how ASICS feel and other brands are too narrow so we went with these for the win! ????
