Too narrow. I've been using new balance fresh foam lav and the lav v2. Supply issues are making me branch out but these are too narrow.

This shoe is so different than the Court FF. This shoe feels cheap with a plastic upper that appears to be mesh but isn't. Designed with stuff that is not up to par with normal ASIC in this price range. The most disappointing shoe I've bought from ASCIC in the last ten years.

These were the worst fitting of all the ASICS I've had over the last ten years. The shoe last is wider than prior shoes, the top material looks like a mesh but is not. Every step I take I get a popping sound from the inflexible upper material. They are comfortable. If I had kept the original box I would have returned them.
I'd also recommend:
I've been using and like ASICS for the last ten years.

Just have had the show for a week and the laces got shred by the uppermost eyelets on both shoes. Laces are toast. Trying another lace to see if it was a bad part or the eyelets.

They are too narrow at the toe box. I am a woman with narrow feet. My toes are all at the end of the shoes so I need a wider toe box. I bought a men's wide & it was still not comfortable. I really wanted to love these shoes. Instead I sent them back.

The base structure of this shoe felt like it had a hard ridge which you fell over when taking a step, similar to a steel shank in a work boot. I liked the look of this shoe, but the actual fit when walking/running or cutting side to side was really bad!

Bought these for a month, used about 5 times. Have had no issues wearing other shoes but these ones do not have enough support. I rolled my ankle and now cannot walk

VERY Narrow... I ordered a wide in my size and ONE size larger and could NOT get my foot into the shoe at all. VERY disappointed, these are pointy, narrow shoes, not good quality tennis/pickleball shoes.

These shoes had very little cushioning and were not wide as I expected.

I've been a huge brand ambassador for the Gel Resolution series. Expected these to be another great, comfortable, and durable shoe. Instead almost the entire shoe is rubber that pops anytime you bend the shoe around your toes and there are a couple of un-adjustable straps across the top of the shoe that dig into the top your foot. Couldn't return these fast enough and now I'm forced to look for a new court shoe for the first time in over a decade.

I have used resolution version 4 to 7. Never had a problem. Version 8 caused my right foot to have plantar faciitis and heel and ball pains on my left foot. After several months the toe box felt loose and causes pain on my toes during the game. I went back to my used version7 and had no foot problems at all. But I can't find version 7 anymore.

Asics Gel resolution series is the best tennis shoe on the market. The 8 continues the legacy. Period. My 1 star is for Zappos. Last item I'll buy from this terrible site.

Guys, I would have bought so many pairs of these, but the first pair hurts so much I had to go try to find gel resolution 7s on a website that still stocked a pair and just got them. The 8s feel like they have a metal band around the ankle and just plain hurt! So disappointed! Bring back the 7 or fix the 8 or am going to have to find a Nike or other alternative. Thanks for listening.

After years of loving Asics running and tennis shoes, I purchased these and they were awful. Too narrow in the width and height. Stiff, these are nothing like the Gel-Resolution 7, which fit right out of the box and were super comfortable. I am back to square one, looking to find a suitable replacement for the Res 7s.

I am a fan of Asics shoes, I bought a new pair of navy/red Gel resolution 8 few days ago and this 8 series has something wrong with its design, there are fixed Red ( other shoe colors have different color lace) laces sawn from side to the bottom of the shoe, it does not expand and not allow your foot to go in smoothly, it gives compression to the top of my foot constantly, i inserted shoe forms at night, next day nothing changed, i return these shoes, too bad , other than this simple design error , shoes were great.

2 complaints on these shoes. First is they advertised them with some white and blue shoe strings but only came with white. Not a big deal. 2nd is that I tried them on and immediately they had grey spots all over them. It looked like I spilled something on them which I didn't. When I tried them on they seemed comfortable like all the other ASICS I have.
