A slight improvement over the rev 7. Fit about the same.

Although there were limited options available, once I made my choices, the transaction and delivery were as expected.

Comfortable and provide solid support. These fit great. I purchased these to wear in the clinic so I was looking for shoes comfortable enough to wear while standing all day and provide good support. I love the silver accent against the white.

I thought the color scheme was a bit flashy but my teen daughters like it. Gray specks on the white vamp seemed odd at first but now I appreciate how they subtly tone down the brightness. Performance-wise, superb support and traction. You will arrive at the ball more quickly and with confidence.

These are my 3rd or 4th pair over the years and I've found them to be terrific tennis shoes.
Having had midfoot fusion surgery a couple years ago, the improved midfoot support is a nice addition without being bulky nor restrictive.

I have had these shoes for quite a while now, and have completely fell in love with them. These shoes are extremely durable, comfertable, and well adapted to all sorts of playing styles.

I recently picked up tennis again, and now play 3ce a week. I picked the Gel-Resolution 8 because of their looks (in the pictures) and reviews and, yes I've not been disappointed.
They are good looking and very functional on the hard court (Where I've been playing). I got size US-12.5, instead of the US-12 I wear in trainers (I'm size US 11-11.5, wide in normal shoes) because of the concerns from the reviews about tight toes. But I can see the US 12 would be perfect and I've ordered another pair (Gel-Resolution 8 Tokyo Retro) in US 12. Overall great tennis shoes, well recommended.

I love these shoes! This is a major improvement for Asics tennis shoes and I hope they continue with this and improve on it. This version of the Resolution is their best shoe yet. The softer front of the shoe reminds me of the first solution speed shoes which was their best ever. The materials also seem of better quality than previous versions, again a similarity to the original solution speed. I also love the lace system which keeps your feet locked into place. I really hope they apply this design to the speed solution and make that shoe great again. The Resolution doesn't get any better than this!

I am wearing R7 for one year. It's very durable but the the front the the shoes a little bit narrow. It may not fit for all people and may feel tired when playing for 3 hours. Because of the narrow head, I need to buy the size 27.5. And other problems is the height of the ankle of the shoes were too high. It make me feel uncomfortable when play more then two hours. But R8 is much more comfortable for me. It increases the width of head, so I feel very comfortable when moving different directions and I can choose the right size 27.0 for me. The R8 is giving me much better support at the back. So, I like this improving. This is the special edition for Japan's Olympics. If you don't like the color, you may choose another color. But the shoes were good.

Bought these because of the design. It locks your foot in place and gives you a glove like fit. Also extremely comfortable and supportive while still feeling light and speedy. This is not only the best gel resolution model, but is the best tennis shoe out there right now. It ticks all the boxes for a great shoe. Well done, asics!

wide is not wide enough, maybe you could make a extra wide , the wide shoe seems a normal width compared to other tennis shoes --- otherwise very good shoe for tennis

Asics are hands down the best shoe. But only 4 stars because I have very wide (4E) feet and Asics does not make a 4E court shoe. (They do for running, why not tennis?) So I buy a 2E a half size too big and they work pretty well, but tight width. Also VERY limited 2E choices, sometimes nonexistant. This time I bought the Gel 8 because no Gel 9 wide. Sometimes I give up and buy another brand. Asics, if you ever make a 4E court shoe that's consistently available you'll have my business for life.

Shoes are fine except for too short laces. They are about 6 inches too short. What is the deal? Why make a nice shoe and then ruin the experience with short laces? They are like a really nice vacuum cleaner with a 3 foot cord. I use these shoes for cross training - jumping rope, heavy bag, slip bag, speed bag, speed ladder, and occasional tennis. So far, support and cushioning seems good.

There was a dent in the R toebox. Could use a little more cushion and arch support. Quality materials.

They aren't perfect but have been best I've found so far so I am happy with them. Much better support than the Nikes I used to wear.

The shoe is great. I love the support and cushioning. My only complaint is that either the tongue is too thin or the laces are too thin. I can feel the laces digging into the top of my foot on certain movements.

special purchase for me. never buy shoes online. i have a wide foot. got the wide. fit great. love these: structure, support and comfort. feet are no longer tired after playing. always play pickle or tennis for at least two hrs
dont even need the extra thin sock layer. not sure what a 5-star would be. Maybe cooler looking.

Good shoe from the start!
Please get rid of the hard "plastic" material.
