Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Resolution 8 Tennis Shoe

I have large bunions on both feet and my metatarsal pads typically get very sore after 3 sets of tennis but not with this shoe! It is a game changer for me. I love the stability and pain free play that these shoes provide.

I've been wearing these at least five days a week for a couple of months on indoor and outdoor courts. These are my first pair of Asics (previously wore Nike Vapor X) and I am SO happy I made the change! I experienced a brief break-in period, but they are perfectly formed to my feet and I can play in them for many hours at a time without any foot pain. The quality is incomparable to my previous Nikes - by now, the soles would be worn out and I'd have holes in the toes, even when sizing up! Speaking of sizing, I went with my normal size 9, and they fit great. Took one star off for those random orange straps. I had to cut them off, ugh. I was worried that I was removing function, but the shoes have worked just fine without them! If they are indeed needed, please make them a more complimentary color in the future - like black or dark blue. Without the orange straps, I get a lot of compliments on the style. Please make more women's shoes in black or dark colors - I would love to buy another pair, but just can't deal with the neon colors and/or white soles!

I got my pair in the mail today and I would say heed other reviews about sizing because these suckers run INCREDIBLY tight. I am typically a size 9 for sneakers/tennis shoes and never have really needed to adjust my size even when I see people review about adjusting a half-size or so. I was previously wearing the Gel Resolution 6s as they have lasted me a good 3+ years from my college tennis days (the durability of Asics are top of the market), but I am in the market for a new pair of shoes. Upon arrival, I could barely get my foot into the shoe! The fit is uncomfortably tight in the toe box area including the sides and the top of the foot. My rear foot even feels a bit constricted, but not as much as the toebox. To note, I do have bunions as well, but my feet fit comfortably in my size 9 GR 6s. There's no way I could wear the pair I received on the court without pain or losing some amount of circulation as there was barely any space to give. I returned my pair the same day to exchange and try sizing up to a 9.5 and see if that fit is any better. I'm a big fan of the Gel Resolution line from my past experiences and want to give it a good review, but it does seem like the construction has been going backwards based on people's reviews (which made me hesitant to buy the GR 7s). If you need confirmation that these are not true-to-size, this is the review to heed. And for the love of everything Asics, please stop cinching your customers' feet! Seems like with each new version I see people complaining about the fit and the shoes getting tighter. Implement what people liked from your previous versions.

Great support but a little tight in the toe box area.

This is my third Asic tennis shoe and I am very pleased with it. My feet are held in place which is very important especially when moving laterally. The gel footbed molded to my feet and it has enough support. The shoe design was well thought out and it's the best tennis shoes I've had.

Nikes gave me blisters and a bunion. I put these on and they don't even need to be broken in. They were a dream and have even made me play better.

A bit tight when you first put them on but gets better when you start playing. Need to change into other shoes after tennis.

I needed navy so i didn't go with my usual gel that has a lot of mesh. These are very tight, not only in the ball of the foot but also around the ankle. I have to leave them almost unlaced and after a 1.5 hour game my feet are hot and cramping. I always size up in Asics and the 9.5 usually works. I have to wear these for my team uniform but do not recommend.

Not as "wide". But just like any shoe, need to break it. Very comfortable and true to size.

The plastic support that wraps around ankle is too low which causes rubbing and thus blisters
