Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Dedicate 7 Tennis Shoe

The shoe fits true to size. I wear an 8 1/2

Probably just need a wide version, but these ran narrow compared to other sneakers I own.

Good shoe, bit hard so added dr schools cushion and now just right

I bought these to wear when I play pickleball. They work just fine. Sizing and comfort are good.

The style is very cute, but the shoe runs too big in my normal size. I thought the body of the shoe would be a mesh, which I prefer, but it was a solid leather (leather-like) which would make it too warm for me.

I was hoping a half size up would solve the narrow width issue; that usually helps with most brands for me. Asics are just too narrow for my feet. I wish they would have more wide width selections.

Great shoes for Pickleball

I ordered 1/2 size larger based on reviews. Glad I did. Only complaint, the shoelaces are very short especially if you need to loosen up some. I like the look.

I had recently developed tendonitis in the upper side of my foot as I had not been wearing my usual well constructed Asics for tennis. These are great. Regret not sticking to the best!

I always have to go up a 1/2 size in Asics. They seem a little loose in the heel, but I will just have to wear a thicker sock. Always a good product and get a decent amount of wear for tennis and pickleball.

Their philosophy seems to be "shoe laces are for weaklings". There's no way the laces included with the shoes are intended to be used. Only way I could physically tie my shoe was to undo a row so now it fits very loose on my feet. Upside is now I can slide them off without untying. Downside is they come off without me trying. Otherwise they're narrow. Seems to be true of all brands anymore. My Sorels did that to me too. "Hey, we know you have human feet, but what if you didn't?" So yeah, they require some breaking in to feel like feet rather than tightly wound sausages. Comfort wise, once they stop playing boaconstrictor, they're pretty decent for the price. They're inexpensive, so wasn't expecting much. Just something to last me six months at the gym and occasionally out for walks. My normal shoe is a heavy combat boot style, but Planet Fitness sorta frowns upon that. As such, I can't comment on how light they are because compared to my normal boots, lead bricks are lighter. They don't breathe as nicely as my New Balance that these replaced (also same price, but out of stock/no longer made). My feet get warm just being in the shoe, which being winter isn't a bad thing. Probably won't care for them in the summer...

Runs narrow through in toe area, I need a shoe with more rounded toe, they were very cute and wish they had worked out.

I played pickleball in them and they felt great. No breaking in!

Fit and size were fine. The shoe itself is heavy and doesn't seem like it will breathe in hot weather.

Shoe feels fine. Bottom soles did not last long. Bought them in January and already need a new pair after using them 3x/ week

These are very lightweight shoes, but that’s part of their problem. Wearing them felt like wearing cardboard soles. I’ve purchased this shoe before and the outsoles wear out quickly, now I understand why. There’s not much to absorb the shock between your foot and the floor/court. So you buy these less expensive ones more frequently or you buy more expensive ones that should last you longer, which I’m going to try this time. I hope they last twice as long since they’re twice as expensive. If you’re a parent of a growing kid, I say go for it. These may last a season. They do make good street (tennis-type) shoes once the sole wears out.

Not happy, wish I had sent back it is not breathable. I thought it was fabric on top and all rubber. Lattice that has no fabric underneath.

8.5 M size. She has high arches and could not get this style to fit over her foot top comfortably no matter what. Otherwise, heel fit great, length good.

This felt super small. I normally buy an 8.5 in regular shoes, 9 in sneakers. The 9 felt so tight. Toe box is narrow. Sides by the arch are narrow. And the shoe felt hard. Other reviews say you just need to wear them and pack down the cushioning but it was just way too tight for me to even try.
