Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Game 8 Tennis Shoe

Great shoes for Pickleball court. Highly recommend.

Followed the chart, measured my foot, and ordered the 7.5. Stepped into them with some inserts for plantar fasciitis and played for 90 minutes without any problem. My previous shoes gave me tennis toe; these won't. I had been experiencing some pain around the navicular bone and these shoes, together with the inserts, provide enough support to the arch and instep that I played pain free. Looking forward to a good season. Not very stylish, but I'll take comfort over style any day.

Hard to find comfort in larger size shoes as far as sizing, have fit perfect each order.

Love this sneaker, great price, very comfortable

These are perfect for the gym. Lightweight and very comfortable. Not the most snazzy shoes, but I didn’t buy them for that! Would recommend.

This shoe runs narrow.

Cute, which of course is almost the most important part. Comfortable. I haven’t worn them to play in yet, so I can’t say much to that. I wear a size 10 and they don’t do much for disguising that fact, but otherwise I’m ok with them.

These shoes are okay. Not crazy about the color, but I usually have to get used to the pastels. Used them to play pickleball and they worked fine. They feel a little big, but I doubt I could get into a smaller size.

They fit my feet perfectly, but it would have been nice if they had a little more cushion in the sole.

It was tricky to find tennis shoes in 11.5 that had good side to side support but didn't look like boats. These are streamlined and the almond toe works with my big toe. (Other tennis shoes were rounded so my toe hit the inside front wall but I had a ton of space around the other toes.) The feel is a bit stiff and they're not cushiony like running shoes but they're breaking in and I feel supported. The only downside is the color...wish they could be a jazzy neon or something bright! I wear an 11.5 in Brooks running shoes, 42N Birkenstock and 11/42 in all other shoes.

I ordered recommended size of 9, but they were too big. I ordered another ASICS tennis shoe in 8 1/2, which fit better. I think this shoe runs big. Otherwise I liked the look, and comfort.

I bought several pairs of tennis shoes to try out and these felt the most comfortable and snug. I immediately had sore feet and shin splints but chalked it up to breaking in new shoes on hard courts. 2,5 months in and I can still barely walk after a few hours on the court in these.

I'm not sure if I want to keep these. My toes ACHE after every tennis game. I need help finding wide toe boxes and correct length

I ordered the 'D' width after reading reviews about these being too narrow. I am a medium and the 'D' width is way too wide.

I have borderline narrow feet so was disappointed that these sneakers were so narrow on my foot when I ordered a medium width. I tried to loosen the laces significantly but that had no impact on my squeezed toes.

This is a beautiful shoe and I was excited about getting them for pickle ball. When I tried it on, I realized the toe box is not rounded. Because of the pointed shape, it crowded my smaller toes. Will have to return it.

Nice looking shoes. These were my first ASICS. I purchased them for pickleball but they were narrower than I had hoped and also stiff. They have no arch support but allow for own inserts. I returned.

Unfortunately these shoes have very little cushioning. Felt like walking on concrete. My feet were aching after wearing them for a short time.

Just Okay. These are not like my old Asics. They do run narrow in the ankle ( love that) , but have little padding. The bottoms are not cushioned like former models, and can tell in a short period of time time they would wear out. I returned them for gel resolutions.

I didn't remember ordering lavender shoes and probably wouldn't choose that, but it was all that was left in my size. The shoe is very comfortable.

I don’t know why ASICS has narrowed the size of the toe box on nearly all of its shoes. I used to buy ASICS all the time. Now I never do, with the exception of this one pair, the GEL Game 8, because I am desperate for a pair of tennis shoes. Used to wear Adidas, but the model I liked was changed and doesn’t work for me anymore. For two years, I’ve been playing tennis in running shoes. It works well to a point, but last year I took a tumble scrambling laterally and realized you really do have to wear tennis shoes for tennis! These ASCIS are comfortable and have decent support, but you can tell right out of the box they are narrow. Just look at how the shoes narrow on both sides almost to a point in the center. Whose foot is shaped like this? The toes on almost every foot I’ve seen gradually slope upward (toward the inside arch and big toe) until they reach the big toe. If the manufacturer really doesn’t want extra space for the smaller toes, then why not cut the shoes on a slightly downward angle moving toward the outside of each foot? Btw, I’ve had my feet measured multiple times for width, and they are not wide.
