These shoes keep you legs and feet so comfy. I play 4 to 5 hours a day. I can't wait to buy more, definitely the best I have ever purchased. Sized both width and length. I would recommend to any hard playing inividual, or just to walk in. True bliss.Thank you! If there were a down fall to this shoe, it is hard to keep clean on the white part. I wpuld still buy this shoe no matter what. Excellent!

The reviews said they run small so I ordered 1/2 size larger than I normally wear and probably would not have had to. I have worn them for pickleball and they are comfortable.

I love these shoes for Pickleball! I ordered my usual size of running shoes (10 medium), and they fit great. I have a narrow heel, but the shoes stayed in place well with only one pair of socks. I also like the bright color instead of boring white.

I bought these shoes for Pickleball after reading someone else did the same and was pleased. They provide good stability for the lateral movement on the court and seem to offer enough support. They are a narrow fit as I find true for ASICS. Since my foot is very narrow this works for me. I would also agree that the tie box is not roomy but it is fine for my “finger” toes! Bonus that they are nice looking and different.

Best shoe for tennis I've ever had. Just a heads up though I have a narrow foot - ppl with a wider foot may not find these comfortable.

Best fitting athlete shoe. Perfect for the tennis court. Solid fit and I don't feel I would fall like I did with another brand with air soles.

Using these shoes for pickleball. These shoes feel like they have a solid base when moving on the court yet they are light and comfortable.

The Gel Challenger 12's were comfortable from the first. Good support but not stiff lik some court shoes are. Could use a little more arch support.

Great shoes for tennis! I can feel the difference: more vitality to my step - esp. on running in to approach the net. Greater endurance. My feet are not tired after long sets or long walks. I have had these shoes about 2 weeks and in that time I notice I am winning more sets with greater confidence. This is my third pair of ASICS for tennis.

Comfort, arch support. I think it's the best tennis shoe ever! Buy a half size to a size larger than usual.

I've been buying Asics running and cross trainer shoes for years. They are great for my flat footed pronation. I recently took up tennis and went with a high end Wilson. Great shoe, but ended up giving me knee pain. We realized it's because of the extra "oomph" that Asics has in so many of their shoes that was missing in the Wilson shoe. I always buy an 8 even though I'm a 7.5 in most everything. I tried both sizes on in this and brought home the 7.5. The instep hits better. I have a true medium width. These have cushiony give which I'm already loving. If my review changes after a few weeks of tennis in these, I'll repost. But on first wearing....PERFECT.
