Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Challenger 12 Tennis Shoe

Never wore them. I went to put on before a tennis match and one of the shoes inside was filthy. Apparently someone had tried them and returned them dirty and I was the second owner. They looked nice on the outside. They were returned.

I need a somewhat narrower heel, higher instep and wider toebox and these shoes felt good ... except there is a band across the shoe at the base of the toebox which keeps them from stretching there. Have to return.

I liked it immediately. More of a common sense shoe than anything else. Overall support whether for Basketball or just playing outside it’s very supportive.

Like the look, comfortable for everyday use. Might not be the best for sport training needs.

Nice shoe but felt a bit heavier and clunkier than others I am trying out.

The fit was right on. I didn't like the seam on the inside that is near the outside of the middle of the foot. I didn't mind the shoe too much, but needed something with more support as I needed them for walking long distances. I think these may be volleyball shoes? The style isn't bad, though.

I like the bold colors. They are flattering and not bulky like some tennis shoes. Had to return because they are too narrow for my wide foot.

Fit was perfect. No complaints. Only thing I found, was a slight rubbing on right side on left ankle. I found this also on my previous NB W806. If I move the tongue of the sneaker over more, it seems to help. It may have to do with the height of rim of the shoe. My other Asics, different model does not do this. Overall all though, it’s a good looking tennis shoe and I do like them. Received many compliments on them as well.

Very comfortable shoes. The medium feels a tad narrow but still medium-ish. My feet felt safe on the court. The color is not my favorite, but it's not a high priority issue for tennis shoes.

I wanted to wait to review these. I only wear ASICS because they make my feet and knees happy. However. These court shoes are now 5 months old and for $100, I expected them to last longer. The cushioning is gone and the calluses from the toe box have done quite a number on my big toes (which perhaps isn’t just the shoes fault, but I never had them with other shoes). I play 3 times a week and expected these to last longer. The only plus was the tread did last longer than the $50 ASICS court shoes on Amazon. Yes they were ok while they lasted. But in the end, at this price point, I forked over more money in the hopes they would last longer. And they did not. They could def use more cushion.

This is my third pair of this model. Buyer beware, it’s very different than previous versions.Why put a number in the name of the model if it’s different than a previous version and you don’t change the number. I haven’t decided if I’ll keep; them the toe box is definitely narrower than before. I also think the soles wear out really fast-less than 6 months.

I purchased these for pickle ball but when I put them on they felt to stiff for me...I need ones with more material and less leather.

Was a stiffer, heavier shoe than I wanted so I decided to return.

Not the most comfortable. I plan to exchange.

I wanted these to work, but they did not. Size was fine (9) and I wear 8.5 shoe. I liked the mesh on top, but they were just uncomfortable for my difficult narrow feet. The Asics Dedicate 6 was better for me. The toe box is bigger and my heel did not slip as much.
