I ordered ASICS because I have ASICS running shoes that I love and they hold up very well. The GEL-GAme 8 shoes fit slightly narrower than my ASICS running shoes. I love the GEL-Game 8 because I am playing tennis again and forgotten how helpful it is to have the right shoe. I also like these shoes when I'm lifting weights because they provide great arch support and lateral support so my ankle won't turn while I'm lifting weights. I think my tennis club will also appreciate the soles that don't disturb the clay surface as much as my running shoes. I have also liked ASICS and now I'm a bigger fan. I also appreciate Zappos carrying the shoes designed for tennis because I had trouble finding them elsewhere.

I was concerned that these shoes wouldn't be comfortable because I am use to running shoes which are lighter and breathable. However I was pleasantly surprised. They were very comfortable and supportive the first time I wore them to play pickleball. Very happy with my purchase.

The fit and size were perfect for my narrow feet. Material was very breathable for my pickleball games in the desert.

Super comfortable right out of the box. I bought them for Pickleball. Played 2 1/2 hours in them the first day. Not a single blister nor did they need a break-in! Good outdoor court shoes.

I love Asics athletic shoes. I can count on the fit so I come back to the brand over and over again. I think this is my fifth pair! My foot is a little narrow, but not enough to wear narrow in most shoes. I think the cut on this shoe is slightly narrow so it works well for me. Lots of colors are available so they are fun to have options. I mostly wear asics for tennis.

Wanted these shoes for pickleball but too narrow and I am a M width. Also, flat support. The insole is removable so a custom insole would fit but I am returning and will keep looking for a comfortable, quick shoe. Zappos please expand your search engine for "pickleball."

These are great and after wearing them a few times weekly, still have plenty of support and cushion.

I have somewhat of a flat foot, so it's hard to find comfortable exercise shoes. I use these sneakers for Pickleball and I love them! Great fit, true to size but because your foot expands when you are playing, I would size up.

I had a pair of gel court shoes (volleyball) so I knew my size for tennis court shoe. Perfect! The indoor PB/tennis courts shredded the volleyball shoe so I am hoping the tennis sole holds up. Feels great.

Shoes are great. Fit is exactly as expected. I like Asics because of the arch support and these did not disappoint. They do feel a little stiff, but I am coming off a pair that was very well broken in. It's only been one week and I do feel them getting more pliant. Very satisfied.

These Asics had solid footing like what you would expect in a tennis shoe. Not a lot of cushion in the soul. The style is good and so is the fit.

I always require an arch support in my sneakers. This is the first sneaker I did not. Extremely comfortable and I was able to play 2 1/2 hours of pickle ball my first time wearing them. There was no breaking them in.

Tried on many different Asics shoes. They all seem true to size now (years ago had to go up a half size from 7 to 7.5). This is the most comfortable court shoe I found. I am wide across the toe box with a small bunion and narrow in the heel with high arches.

I needed shoes for Pickleball. These fit well (true to size) and were in my color palette. Did get a blister on my left heel the first time I played in them.

Like my running shoes, I always buy my tennis shoes 1-1.5 sizes bigger, in this case, 9.5. The fit was as expected, both in size and width. They did seem a bit more narrow than my previous Nike tennis shoes, but they are fine for me.
