Great show for pickleball. Supportive yet allows for quick movement. A definite eye catcher as well!

Asics, please never discontinue these. Aesthetically they are super cute!! But, also, finally a shoe that fits perfectly for me. I always can rely on Asics fitting true to size (I'm a true 9.5), but, also they are cut more narrow which is PERFECT for me. So hard to find a narrow shoe. So, if you have a wider foot, this may not be the shoe for you. - but for all my narrow footed friends out there, this is the shoe for you!

I bought these as cross training shoes. I loved the fact that they provide great lateral movement support, stable enough to do weights and moveable enough for rapid movements. For me it only required the first wear break-in.

I have a pair that was wearing out, and was nervous online shopping same size items. However they fit perfect again. I wear them for pickleball and they are comfortable. The support and gel are easy on my knees. I recomend them to all my friends...so far five of the ladies I play with are wearing them. now.

These are exactly what I was looking for. They are cute and comfortable. They are really lightweight, which makes for a great court shoe.

Runs small..had to return. I ordered a ladies 8, and could barely get my foot in the shoe. I then ordered a half size bigger, which fit, but were still tight. Hope this helps if you are ordering online.

I wear a 9 in running shoes, 8.5 in street shoes. Based on reviews I ordered the 9. It's too big and the toe curls up. Sadly, 8.5 is out of stock so I have to keep looking for a court shoe.

Other reviews state that the shoe runs narrow, which is perfect for me. I was able to fit in an orthotic without removing the insole. They look and feel great on the tennis court. they do have a bit of a forward bent to them, like some running shoes, which could be hard on some knees.

Great quality. Run on narrow side which is a perfect fit for me. However, I must have low ankle bones as the sneaker rubs it on one side. This isn't the first time that's happened with me. So don't judge by my comment. This is a quality sneaker for folks that run a bit more narrow.

I normally wear a size 9 shoe, I do wear Thorlo socks, so always order a 10 ASICS.

Shoe fit as expected for length. I do not wear a wide shoe, but this one felt too tight side-to-side, even for a standard width. I considered keeping them to see if the would stretch, but they were just tight enough, I wasn’t willing to risk it. I’m super bummed because they are so cute!!!!!

This is the third pair of GEL-Challenger 12 shoes I have bought, so it's clear that I like this court shoe. Fits my feet, good arch support, and needs no breaking-in. My second pair was all leather. I like the mesh/leather version better. I wish it were available in all mesh.

this style is a great fit and comfortable, my only negative comment is on the color, the "grey" and pink style.... the grey is green. I was not a fan and did not look the same in person as on the website.

Very comfortable from the first time I wore them (which was to play tennis for a solid 4 hours). I got my usual size and they fit perfectly. After a few weeks, there's no visible wear on the soles which I definitely would have had on other shoes by now.

These shoes hurt my feet at least for the first 3 weeks of wearing them. After they were broken in, they have been excellent. No more problems.
