Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Resolution 8 Tennis Shoe

Even in the EE width, these feel more like a regular width. They're just barely wide enough to be comfortable.

I returned them as it wasn't clear to me that the upper area of the shoe is basically plastic...synthetic leather. If felt like my foot was going to melt in them and when I walked you actually hear the plastic crinkle as it moves. They felt ok on the sole, but overall, not good.

After wearing the Gel Res 7 for a year and being happy with their performance, I was hesitant to try the next generation. After having worn the Gel Res 8 for 2 months now, I'm happy to say that these are my favorite shoes ever. They do feel slightly heavier than the Gel Res 7, but make up for it in terms of softer, more flexible upper and flexible but responsive outsole, making them feel faster on the court that the Gel Res 7. The best part was there was virtually no break-in time unlike with the Gel Res 7. The Gel Res 8 felt comfortable out of the box. The only negative for these shoes are that they come with shoe laces that are too thin and too short, same as the Gel Res 8. Before I tried these on court, I swapped them out with 1/2" wide x 59" long oval shoe laces purchased on Amazon. I do use the last lace eyelet for heel lace locking, so if you don't do that, you should get shorter laces.

These shoes are stiff, and run narrow width - too much so for me, returning for another brand.

The fit was perfect for me. I read that the shoes ran a little narrow, so I ordered a 12 EE and I’m usually a 12 E. However, the fit was perfect and I’ve played in them three times already. My feet don’t hurt after playing , so the support is great.

I really wanted to like these shoes. However, I tried my usual size 9 1/2 but I couldn’t get my foot in. So I ordered a 9 1/2 wide. I was able to get them on but they were tight across the arch so I ordered a 10 wide. They were also too tight across the arch. The shoe has these two straps with zero give under the laces which are the cause of my problem so this pair is going back too. The shoes are super light and look great. I wish they worked for me.

Too small and tight in toe box

These shoes are PLASTIC! They call it man-made leather but it is just a solid shell of plastic

Shoes are too light, provide no arch support.

The previous reviewers don’t seem to know what they’re taking about. This is THE only tennis shoe I will buy, I’ve been buying every version for years. These came recommended by my doctor years ago when I struggled with plantar fasciitis, and since I started using them years ago my plantar fasciitis has stayed gone. Don’t listen to these other reviewers (who apparently don’t know their true foot size).

looks ok, size was ok, unfortunately it runs narrow. back to the warehouse with this one.
