They felt tight but were long, I should have ordered an 8 but do not think they would be wide enough, I have a normal foot, not wide, will have to return

After I got the right size it fit. I forgot my feet grew! I prefer more subdued colors but I still enjoy wearing them!

I wanted to have an all white pair of athletic shoes in my closet available for “dressier” sporting occasions when the grungy ones, well, look grungy. These are beautiful, comfortable, and the always spot on ASICS perfect fit.

sturdy, comfortable. I bought so I could take one pair of sneakers on vacation for both tennis and walking/running. These were perfect.

I had hoped the Size B width would work, and it did not. I have a wide foot, so must return. At this time, there are no Wide widths in my size. Trying to find a court shoe in a Size 7-1/2 Wide is a problem . . .

Nice shoe a little narrow through the upper part of the foot. Not as much cushion as I thought it would have with it being a gel type shoe. I will still wear them.

The size 6 was the right length for me. This shoe is a bit snug across the toe box and does not have as much footbed cushion nor arch as I need. They are a bit stiff, too. They looked durable and I loved the purple color.

Shoes are very comfortable and feel good while playing pickleball. I would like different color options. That's the only reason for the 4 stars. My shoes got comments on how bright (white and purple) they were.

Asics has started making a smaller toebox which is not a fit for me. I have worn only Asics for tennis, running, walking, pickleball for decades. Now, they have changed the mold and the toebox is too small!!

They fit but bothered my feet because I have neuropathy and sometimes shoes bother me even if there is nothing wrong with them.

These aren’t the normal ASICS! Not sure if it’s bc they are for court sport but these are stiffer & all around not as comfortable as “normal” ASICS. They are definitely as supportive but if stiff soles give you plantar fasciitis, these might NOT be for you. They are being worn for indoor Pickleball & coach says they are “slippery” like they should be on the court (so ankles don’t get sprained) who knew!…you actually want the slide so your feet go w your momentum. I got the while w silver & they are fine - nothing fun or cute but will go with everything and protect ankles.

The shoes run so narrow. I don't have wide feet and they crush the sides of my feet. I don't know if going up a size will help or not.

I run between a size 7.5 and 8. The 8's were far too long so I returned them and got a size 7.5. They are the perfect length, even when sliding into the front of the shoe while playing. The style is clean. I will say that on my right (slightly larger) foot the outside support gave me some discomfort, I am hoping this breaks in and goes away. For the price, they seem like a good option.

I generally take a 91/2 in a sport shoe and this shoe seemed true to size. I have a narrow foot and was thrilled to find a shoe that felt good without being sloppy. They were very comfortable but the outside of the shoe rubbed my ankle bone. Very disappointing to have to return them.

The shoes are fairly comfortable but the comfort would be improved if they had a more cushy insole

I have a wide foot. Most reviews said to order a half size up if you have a wide foot. I did so and the width in the 8.5 was perfect but they were then too long in the toe and the arch didn't fit right.

The shoes were attractive and seemed to be comfortable. It was recommended to size up because they were a bit narrow at toe box. I did that, but the shoes were too long.

I wish there was a half size smaller. For pickle ball a too long shoe could be an issue.
