Great fit especially if you need more room in the toe box.

These shoes provide much needed support and fit well. I use them for tennis.

No complaints. No rubbing or weird wearing on the bottom. These are not too heavy or too flimsy. Except for the laces being a bit long, I don't think about these shoes when I'm playing, which is how it should be. I'd buy them again.

I use these for pickleball and they are great court shoes. No issue and a great overall fit.

These have been one of my favorite styles of tennis shoe I have worn in recent years. It is stable, but I feel like I can run and move in them better than other shoes that feel more clunky. Glad I got them!

Awesome right out of the box. Comfy, and I love them more than my old ASICS -- a bit of mesh on top to let you breath a bit.

I ordered a half size larger according to recommendations from other reviewers. I did not need it. I am exchanging for my normal size of 7.5.

These are super great shoes! They are comfortable and don't look chunky unlike some tennis shoes plus, they are great for staying on balance. I usually size up from an 8.5 to a 9, and my shoes feel fine. However, these felt and looked a lot more like a size 10 shoe. They're not awful.

I’m a size 8 , medium width. After reading reviews referencing sizes, I ordered a size 8 & 81/2. The size 8 fit perfectly. Great support and arch. A lot of lateral support.

I've been ordering and returning more tennis shoes than I can count. And am happy to finally find a pair I will keep! New Balance and K-Swiss seem to have stopped making narrow shoes. These FIT! Thank you, Asics!!!

I ordered up a half size but may not have needed to. I use orthotics so the fit is fine with those in.

I wanted these shoes for pickleball. I have narrow feet but still need a moderate-width toe box because of my Morton's Neuroma. These Asics shoes felt great after I ordered half a size up. I wear a Women's 11 in everything *except* these shoes - for these I needed an 11.5. The fit of the GEL-Resolution was pretty much identical, and I preferred the styling of the Resolutions over the more conventional look of these, so I'm sending these back, but honestly it's all a question of the style you prefer. Specific things I liked about this shoe were the nicely padded tongue and sides that feel secure but don't rub my ankles. (The New Balance Fresh Foam shoes I tried, in comparison, were not comfortable.)

The shoe was comfortable from the moment I stepped on the courts. I have a narrow foot so appreciate the slightly narrow cut.
