This is my second pair of this exact same ASIC court shoe. Good fit. Good grip on asphalt court. I use them for Pickleball only.

Bought these for pickleball, replacing a soft sided asic running shoe size 8. Bought an 8 they felt snug at first, used the paper stuffing to stretch them a bit before first use. Great support, confident moving side to side and no break in needed. I do use gel arch support for long time plantar fasciitis issue, support fits well in this shoe. Great price , fit & support; hope they last 6 months!

Replaced my run down running ASIC shoe with this court shoe for pickleball. Ordered an 8, same as running shoe. Fit was more snug, but no issues after first day playing in 90 heat for 3 hours! Felt very comfortable & stable on the court. I’ve had bad plantar fasciitis in the past so I do use a small gel arch support which fit very well in this shoe. Great price & purchase!

Very comfortable yet sturdy on the tennis court. Provides sufficient grip and allows for easy change of direction.

The fit is great and the size is spot on. I have been wearing Asics for years to play tennis. This brand is my go to for tennis shoes for the game of tennis!

I used them once for Pickleball. They felt comfortable right away. Did not seem as sturdy as other Asic sneakers I've owned. but seems to have the side support you need to shuffle side to side on the court and its good with stop and go movements.

There has been a shortage of ASICS for over 6 months. Finally tried this one and it’s great. Pretty light for a tennis shoes. Excellent arch support, which is essential for me. This is the only brand that has the arch support I need.

I didn't realize just how difficult it was to find Tennis shoes (for women) until I recently started playing. In my size at least. It's been a definite struggle. I was looking for a light colored pair since I have only a pair of black ASICS. Landed on these. They are true to size, comfortable, great price. I do think they can make my feet look a little bit longer than I'd like. But given the limited options I've been running into and the fact that I won't be wearing them except to play in, I guess that isn't all that big of a deal. Overall, I like them.

I can count on asics for a good fit right out of the box. I have about 6 pairs of them and have confidence they all run the same in sizing. My foot is slightly narrow and I think they are cut on the slim side of medium. Works out great for me! Wore them for the first time to play tennis today. No issues at all. Feet felt great!

Shoes are great from the beginning. Played pickleball with it on and no blisters or other irritations, very comfortable. I have high arches, but it provided nice arch support.

I had never worn Asics shoes before these - I normally wear Brooks. They fit the same (to me) as my Brooks running shoes, with decent arch support and space in the toe box. I had also purchased the Asics Gel Dedicate 7, but those did not have enough room in the toe box for me. With these, the support for playing pickleball has been just right, as they have just the right amount of grip on the indoor court surface. I have not yet tried them outdoors. The best thing for me is the support provided when I move side to side. They prevent my feet from sliding around inside and make my movements crisp.

These shoes are an excellent fit for my narrow feet even though I purchased a medium width. The heel fits snugly and no gaps around the ankle. I did swap out the insoles that came with the shoe for a sports insole that has a more firm arch support. Wore shoes for the first time today on pickleball court and they felt great! Love them!

Able to wear them right out of the box. I usually wear shoes around the house a few
days to be sure of the fit. I knew right away these were just what I was looking for!

This is my 3rd Asics Gel. I play pickleball and these are comfortable. I always buy 1/2 size up so I can insert my own orthotics.

I play tennis twice a week and have a slightly more narrow foot. This shoe has been fantastic - great support, great fit and lasts long.

I love these for pickleball! I have had several pair, and I feel I can easily reorder and the fit will be the same. Will probably purchase a couple more pair to have on the shelf as I need them! Will not disappoint.

Narrow fit, which is good for me. The shoe is heavy so it took some breaking in and getting used to. I bought 2 other pairs because I liked the over all fit and durability on hard court surfaces.
