I ordered a wide in this shoe and it was narrower than some of my Adidas regular width tennis shoes. Disappointed! The plastic on the outer shell rubbed in all the wrong spots on my big toe knuckle and pinky.

Not a true wide shoe, fits like a regular width tennis shoe. Couldn't even walk around in them.

I have been wearing gel resolution for years and this edition by far is the worst...harder sole cushioning. Top of midtoe is all plastic and pops when you walk...every single step. Unwearable. Go back to cloth please. Shoes were returned.

Tennis shoe does not fit true to size. I wear a 6 in every other shoe and the asics 6 was way too narrow and tight!

I buy a new pair of Asics courts every 6 months. Either FF or Gel. This last pair of Gel 8 is unwearable. I cant remember the last time i got a blister when playing, and I did the first time out. Something seems uber stiff in this shoe- unlike previous versions. Maybe a new plastic? Will stick with the FF.

Sorry but I was disappointed with these shoes. They run small and very narrow. For the price I didn't think that they were worth it. I returned.

I was very excited to try these shoes. I wore them for tennis once and had such severe foot pain that started afterwards. I didn’t think it could be from the shoes so I tried once more and same thing. I eventually had to go to PT and rest it for a couple months. Very surprised as I am fit and active. I have narrow feet but the mid section of the foot was still extremely tight. A waste of money!

For the past 18 years or so, Ive worn no other shoe than ASICS. Be it cricket, tennis, runningeven go to office in them, but this particular model really shook my long term faith in ASICS. Not only for me, I pretty much converted my entire family into ASICS household. I couldn't not believe how tight, narrow and uncomfortable this shoe was. Same size same foot. Have switched to Kswiss at least for my tennis needs. Sad. Unfortunate. I hope someone reads this review and starts auditing the design and product quality and consistency.

Bought these a size up and in wide. They are not wide as they were very tight without even tying them. There was also a bunch of fabric in the instep area that I knew would rub blisters. I’m very disappointed in ASICS anymore. The brand has really changed and not for the better

These ASICS are the most uncomfortable shoe I have ever tried on. They are stiff, no arch support and feel like 2 X 4's. I am an avid walker, every day, and needed a new shoe. NOT these.

"Wide" was not wide at all--narrower than even some regular shoes. I wish I could find a tennis shoe that is truly wide (New Balance used to work, but they have changed their widths).

Just didn't fit my feet. His was my second pair but it rubbed against one part of my foot and it caused so much pain so I gave up and went with a Nike pair.

Shoe width is Wide, but this shoe was painfully too narrow for someone with a D width foot.

These feel incredibly narrow to me. I ordered a size up, but my toes get pinched and feel very uncomfortable. I don't have a wide foot, so I am a bit surprised. The area around where I put my foot in also rubs against my ankle, causing a blister, and resulting in painful steps.

Beware! Something is wrong with the design of these shoes. I've worn this model (& the Gel Challenger) for many years playing tennis, and they've never felt like this. I have a narrow foot so now I get the standard width but they used to come in narrow. I always order a 1/2 size up on them - I wear 7 but order 7 1/2 and they've always fit perfectly. When these shoes arrived I barely got my foot in them. Then the top of the shoes were literally squeezing the tops of my feet. Huge design flaw! You cannot play tennis in these or you will be in pain. (I couldn't even walk for a couple of minutes in them.) I went for the Gel Challenger instead this time. It had the normal comfort I expect from Asics... and they were half the price.

I have been wearing basics gel resolution shoes for years and love them. Bought the new resolution 8 and was not happy . I have a narrow foot and I cant get my foot into the shoe. I ordered a half size up and the shoes are too big. so disappointed!

hard to imagine this can be called a wide shoe. Asics has the best colors, just not for people with custom orthotics that need a real width size of W.
