Normally wear a 7.5 but ordered these in an 8 after reading reviews, glad I did, perfect fit. I got the white with periwinkle/lavender. Received 3 compliments at pickleball, asking where I got my cute shoes, Zappos of course.

I've been wearing the Gel-Challenger 13s for a few weeks now and I really like them! I play Pickleball and they grip the court just the right amount and feel very comfortable wearing for over 2 hours of play. I have fairly narrow feet and they fit me just right with a nice amount of "cush." I'm a very happy customer once again with Asics on my side!

A comfortable fitting shoe, that said, it was a tad bit long. A court shoe should fit right so movement can glide easily from one position to another.

This shoe is great for stability. I have plantar fasciitis. My feet feel better after having air these than any other shoes I own. They aren’t super-cushy, but it turns out that’s not what I needed for heel comfort.

I bought these for my daughter to wear when she plays Pickleball. They fit her true to size and width. She says they are very supportive on the court. The grip is good and she hasn’t had any problems with her ankles. She rolled her ankle in a previous pair. Her only complaint is they are slightly heavy, but that is to be expected with a sturdy/supportive court shoe. They are also very cute!

This shoe fits perfectly to my typical size in shoes. I feel supported when I play tennis, I feel like this shoe helps with balance/stability. The color is as described and very pretty.

I love these shoes. I can fit my orthopedic inserts inside them and there wasn't any break in period. I use them on inside and outside pickleball courts and feel well supported.

I have been looking for shoes for pickleball. I have bad arches and planter fasciitis and have tried out other shoes, but these really fit the bill. Keep my feet secure and supported.

Very comfortable out of the box. I usually wear mens shoes, but these seem to be wide enough.

This is my 3rd pair of Gel-Challenger 13's! So glad they updated this shoe. Much improved fit and comfort. I wear them to play pickleball and have a pair for casual wear.

SO happy with these. True to size, didn't need breaking in and I play a lot of pickleball. Great support, great tongue (my KSwiss have very short annoying tongues) just wish there had been other colors than white. Would definitely repurchase.

Great support for skinny feet. Once I put the shoes on, I felt confident to move quickly and easily on the pickleball court.

I love these shoes. They are comfortable, the arch is just right for my foot and they are a B width but are perfect for my small foot. I also like the way they look. What’s not to love? Great for pickle ball.
