Shoe looks great and has good suppport but the toe bed is very narrow which causes my toes to fall asleep. Previous reviews warned of the narrow toe bed but I have narrow feet so thought they'd be OK.
Obviously didn't know my toes were going to fall asleep til I was on the tennis court so I'm hoping they stretch out a bit.

as soon as I opened the box I was concerned that the toe box looked slimmer than my previous 3 pairs of Gel Resolutions. Sure enough, I can feel the top of my big toe hitting the shoe. Not sure a half size up will do the trick, as its the height, thats the main problem but they also seem a bit shorter as well. Returning them.

I purchased a pair of 8.5Wide Gel-Resolution 8 June 26, 2021. I wore them for only two 1.5hr cardio tennis drills (6/28 and 6/30) and the interior fabric below the heel collar is already showing wear. I wore quality-brand athletic cotton socks. Although the mid soles and footbed are extremely comfortable, the interior fabric of the shoes is not holding up.

I ordered Wide instead of my usual Medium after so many reviews stated that ran narrow. While the shoe fit in the forefoot, it was too wide in the midfoot. Had to return them.

Had to return because they were so narrow. I have a narrow to medium size foot and I still could not wear them. Sole is thick and shoe is beautiful.

Shoes were not comfortable. The arch did not fit my foot and they felt heavy and clunky.

I was hopeful for a cute red sneaker, despite the other reviews. The shoe fit ok, but was too stiff and completely not cute. I couldn’t get it back in the box quickly enough. Not my style at all. Too bad.

Beware! These are for narrow feet. I’ve always worn asics and loved them. I couldn’t wear these for any period of time. They are not a medium width.

I have a long narrow foot and I think these would have worked for me but once I tried them on I didn't care for the style. I normally wear a 12AA and I ordered a 12 medium after reading some of the reviews, and also because a narrow wasn't available. I think these will work for you if your foot runs on the narrow side of a medium but not if you have a wider foot. The length was spot on and they were comfy.

Attractive design. The shoe was too tight in the toe box. I normally take a size 10 in a running shoe. These were too tight and difficult to even get on. I returned them for a refund.

This shoe is very cute but way too narrow for me. Sadly I had to return. I do love the gel in the shoe. They told me to try men size since they are wider. If you have a narrow foot, you will love it.

I've been ordering Asics for years and these felt much more narrow than my previous pairs. I'm returning them.

They run narrow. They are beautiful shoes. I have not used them in competition yet.

My old shoes were great but the inner elastic squeezes the ball of the foot!

Usually I can insert orthotics into my ASICS. These tennis shoes are so tight in the toe box I can barely fit my feet inside the shoes never mind an orthotic. And I have very narrow feet. Purchase a size larger than recommended. Wish I returned.

I wore Asics for volleyball for 20 years so I knew how they fit. Very disappointed in the exterior material (flexible plastic?), so no room to break in the shoe.

These are ok. But the size 9 was enormous and the 8.5 was super tight!!. However the ankle support and overall structure has made a difference while playing. I had to order online-would be better to try on in-store to find the right size

Too long and too narrow by a lot! I ordered a half size down and wide and they were still too long and too narrow. I'd buy these shoes on repeat if they fit better!

These shoes are used, not new. Someone cut half of the plastic that holds the tag so it could be put back on. The top of the right shoe is visually worn from what may have been the shoestring being too tight. However, the bottoms of the shoe did not look too worn..could have been used on indoor court. This is my 4th order of these shoes. The 3 others came without the shoelaces being tied, they were neatly tucked into the shoe.. not so for these. They were untied and hanging loose

These shoes were very uncomfortable. No padding in the toe area and very hard insole. Not what I am looking for playing on hard courts. Super narrow for a D width. These felt more narrow than a regular width! I have other ASICS that are regular width that are wider than these. I thought with a D they would be roomy, but no!

The front of the shoe is way too narrow, squeezing the front of my feet so that I feel pain in the front center for days later. I ordered up a half size as per the sizing guide and am playing tennis twice a week. May have to go back to playing tennis in Gel Nimbus.

It is hard to find a shoe to fit my long, narrow foot, so my foot tends to slide forward. Although I suppose that the width is true, it is not my width, which has been all but abandoned by manufacturers. It would probably work if you are a true medium. In this type of shoe, the sole extends a bit out beyond the heel (I assume for stability) but in my case, it can sometimes catch a bit on a step when I came downstairs.
