So far so good. I recently went from 7 1/2 to 8 in shoes and these fit great. My toes have room in the front. They allow my feet to breathe more than the last tennis shoes that were mostly thicker plastic-some synthetic material. They were ASICS as well but I like these better.

I have a narrow foot and ASICS normally fit narrow so I often buy them. These were actually narrower then usual but my skinny foot wasn’t disappointed with that. Wore them around the house and they felt great even though they said they would need to be broke in. Played pickleball for a couple hours and they were very comfortable…good support and no sore spots.

I have a narrow foot and all my athletic shoes are ASICS because they fit! This shoe worked great with my orthotics (for neuroma). The toe box was roomy yet supportive. I play pickleball 3 times a week in them.

Super comfortable from the very 1st tennis game. No break in period was needed. I feel free to do any movements on the court and feel safe, steady, and supported by these shoes. Much better than my previous tennis shoes from another brand.

This is the most comfortable ASICS tennis shoe ever. Lots of cushion and lightweight with no break in period. I really like these shoes. Please keep around for awhile.

These shoes are lightweight and so comfortable! And great looking: I get loads of compliments on the colors. I have used Gel Resolutiom for tennis for over 10 years. Bought these for platform tennis, pickleball, and anything else. Even hiked in them out in the desert mountains in California! Terrific purchase.

These have such great support! My feet don't hurt after playing for awhile. They don't need time to break in either!

Have been struggling to find new ASICS tennis shoes in my size. Just received these and they are extremely soft and supportive with no break in stiffness. Was wearing challenger 12 before which became impossible to find. I think these are even better and would like another pair if I can find my size in a different color.

The shoes are a lot heavier than my other pairs of ASICS court shoes but I think the material used on the soles is better and will last longer on the Pickleball courts

I love the style of these shoes. However, I always wear size 8 and although the shoes overall fit fine, the end of the shoe was too long. I tried a 7 1/2 and found the length of the shoe was too long again. Sadly, I had to return.

These fit me like a glove and I like them for pickleball. I feel like they give a pretty good amount of support but I can move easily and quickly on the court. A nice upgrade for me from the 12’s.

I have a difficult time finding shoes for tennis that fit, since I wear 8.5N. If I remove the innersole, wear a ThorLo sock, and insert my orthotic, I think these are going to work. They are very good looking for an athletic shoe, and I think they are going to be very comfortable.

These are great shoes! Comfortable right out of the box and I love the blue and pink. The darker color is also nice for the winter when I play indoors and often wear black leggings under my skirt for warmth.

These shoes give a very stable fit for court sports. They feel and look great and though I try to save them just for Pickleball, I find myself wearing them all day! Great look and feel.

I so want to love these, I have ordered the 8 1/2 (too big) and this 8 is tight. Zappos has been so helpful in trying to get the right shoe. With that said, I am sadly returning them. Ended up with a pair of New Balance Fuel Cell
