Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Rocket® 9 Volleyball Shoe

I've had GEL ASICS before so I was surprised that these felt like I was walking barefoot on pavement. The shoes are comfortable and the fit was very accurate but when I buy a GEL shoe I expect there to be a bit more cushioning.

Felt to wide for my daughter.

Just felt a bit too big. Not sure a half size down would work though so will keep these.

These shoes were okay but they did not hold up for very long. I only wore them about 6 months before they started falling apart.

These dug into the side of my foot:/ look cute though

It felt like they made me overpronate, might be good for someone who naturally underpronates .

Love the style! Because the first ordered size 6 was too long in the toes (1.25 in between my toes and end of the shoe), fitting everywhere else, I tried the 5.5 in these, which were way too small and went back. Then I re-ordered another size 6, thinking that maybe that the first pair was mislabeled. The second 6 fits much better in the toes and is not too long. However, the ball of my foot does not have enough padding for comfort. I really like the looks of these! However, I need more comfort and support under the ball of my foot, so I shall have to reluctantly return these.

I wear a 7 in Nikes and 6.5-7 in other athletic shoes. I ordered a 6.5 and size is good as long as I wear a thin sock. Adidas seems to run narrow for me across the widest part of they foot. Hopefully will loosen up there. The first time I wore them to tennis practice, I was aware of the tightness there. May also add insoles due to not much padding there.

I have ordered in different colors and they all fit perfectly. However, the solid black ones look rather cheap.

Size is good but a very narrow shoe. Wish I could find in a wide width!

The shoe is handsome & light weight but does not have removable insole which I needed.

I wore these shoes for a couple of hours and my feet hurt so much afterwards. They also dug into the back of my heal. They are super cute but I had to return them because they weren’t worth the pain.

Closer to a full size too small. Far quality, little arch support. Returning both this pair and the Nrw Balance I ordered. If these had fir I might have kept only because I have a terrible time finding my size. I would have returned the New Balance no matter what

The shoe itself is very nice. Love the quality of the shoe but it was a little narrow for me. If it was wide width it would have been PERFECT. Thanks anyway.

I didn't like the fit on the back of my ankle (Achilles heal). It seemed tight. Returned for some Brooks.

Fit well but very little cushioning.

These are just ok...I had to add inserts to make them more cushioned and they run kind of narrow. Wouldn’t repurchase and am using them for pickleball.

I bought the recommended size. It was at least one size too large.

i returned these cuz they weren't comfortable.

Soles are nice; upper materials feel cheap and plasticky. Sloppy in the arch area. I got them on sale and with a promotional discount so the value is reasonable for what I paid but if I had paid full retail price I would return them.

Disappointed about width, across the top of my foot was tight.

After many years of wearing Asics how disappointed I am that they are no longer making narrow widths. Being so difficult finding narrows, I decided to try the medium width of this style in my size, since several of the reviews said their width felt more narrow. Liked the style, but after trying them on and walking in them there wasn't any cushion to them at all and started to make my feet, knees, and back ache. I walk several miles a day, so it is imperative my sneakers are well cushioned and comfortable. Unfortunately I had to return them, and try to find a better style!
