Was SO glad to see an earlier review to order these 1/2 size larger. I am generally a 9, so ordered the 9.5, and it fits perfectly! Also, am so glad Asics made a black court shoe of decent quality! There is very little out there right now and I don't like wearing white court shoes in the winter with all my black! And though they say made for clay (which is why they are available now), they worded great on the hard court!

i put these on this morning and for the first 5 minutes I was worried that they were a little boxy feeling. I've been wearing the same shoes for too long I guess. After walking around my house for a bit I really grew to love the solid feel and support they provide. Played in them today and they were fabulous. Great support, quick reaction time, and firm footing. I love the dark blue with pink accents. They don't feel like there is too much plastic to be comfortable. Some of the shoes feel too rubbery but this is not the case with these. I very glad I went for the Gel-Challenger 13 Clay.

Exceeded my expectations! These are DOPE. Love them for lifting weights and just all around looking cool. They feel unique too, like not the same pair of black shoes you see everyday.

Not what I was looking for, but a nice shoe. Felt a little long compared to other Asics I've had.

Very pleased with the fit & comfort of these shoes. Nice arch support (usually I have to replace with my own insert). Use them for pickleball and I'm very happy with them.

I am a size 6.0 and ordered 6.5 to add my inserts and they seem to be pretty darn comfy!

People say to order up, I bought and 8.5 and 9 just in case, the 8.5 fits fine, I didn't have to order up. They feel slightly narrow but Im sure will stretch out.

I am reviewing these after trying them on and walking around the house a bit, so I don't yet know how they will hold up on the tennis court. Nevertheless, I like the fit, the comfort, and the arch support which feels quite sturdy. I have flat feet so I think these will be great.

I ordered a half size larger. Fits a little snug in medium width but I think wide would be too wide. I’m hoping they will give some with wear. Haven’t tried them on a court surface yet.

Asics for me are always true to size! I have always worn them for tennis and pickleball. Wish they would make a style with a little bit bigger toe box but I can always rely on them!

generally I wear a 9 in shoes and 9.5 or 10 in tennis shoes. There I need at 10 and feel a bit narrow and something just didn't hit me right so will return. For me the FF was more comfortable. I do like the way they look.

Fit was perfect all around but they didn't "break" good; almost like digging into my foot.

Still getting used to these shoes. I ordered another pair 1/2 size up. I have a narrow a foot and feel these are really narrow. Planning on wearing them to play PADDLE ball they feel very stiff.

I ordered these in my normal size. The width was perfect, snug and comfy. But they were way too long. My feet looked like they were in those medieval court jester's shoes. If I sized down to get the right length, they'd be way too narrow. And I normally take a straight-ahead medium width. Too bad! Had to return.

I’m so sad about not finding a size that fits! Both my normal tennis shoe size & the half size up are too narrow. I don’t normally need wider shoes, so this is very disappointing.

To be honest this was the worst shoe I have ever worn. I lived the style and look. However, they hurt my feet terribly!! On the inside outer foot I have big calluses. I wore them for a couple months only so I could get my moneys worth. My feet hurt so bad I had to start wearing my old sneakers. The challenger 12 are the best court shoe I have ever worn!!! But I can not find them anywhere
