Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Dedicate 7 Tennis Shoe

These fit fine and are supportive enough for my tennis game. There is plenty of room in the toe box. The laces are too short leaving very little to tie the shoe. And they do look very cheap and plastic. If I were wearing them anywhere other than on the court, I would return them. But I barely care what my game shoes look like as they will get dirty and worn out before too long so the inexpensive price is more important to me.

Love this color and how it looks. However, the leather restricts my foot where it feels extremely tight. I wish it came in different width sizes. Will be sending it back.

It is a half size too big. But the width is suitable. I have to wear thick socks. I love the design. Hopefully, the next pair will come in my size with a wider width.

Uncomfortable, had to buy cushion inserts bc sole hard as rock

Very hard sole, had to buy inserrs

The shoes are stylish. I like the color. When I first tried them on, they felt fine. They start to punch around my small toes after wearing for a hour. I have narrow feet and usually do fine with regular width shoes.

I was disappointed in the gel cushioning. Also the shoes felt slightly smaller that I expected. I bought a half size up to make sure they fit and they still seemed small.

I love the color and look of these shoes, but it seems they keep making the toe box narrower, which doesn't work for my (average width) foot. Had to switch to another brand.

I will be returning these. They were not very comfortable on my foot. Too flat.

I tried these twice and it was great on the court (stability and grip), but I quickly developed plantar fasciitis in both my feet! The pain is horrible and I can't play tennis or barely walk. I didn't have any other changes in my footwear or activity. I'm really sorry these didn't work for me, but I'm out of sports for a while so both feet can heal.

The laces are so short I can't tie them. The shoe is tight across the top of the foot.

These shoes look great but aren’t as good as the version before. I’ve had multiple pairs of these before but this version has caused me a lot of foot pain and shin splints. Not sure what changed but seems to have less support.

The shoes are a bit tight. I like the style. They are not as soft as I had hoped. I hope they break in quickly

Has a narrower toe box than my previous ASICS model.

I am a tennis player and have been wearing the ASICS Gel-Dedicate 6 for a couple years now. I love them because they are comfortable right out of the box. These shoes, however - in Peacoat/Pure Silver - fit very differently than the Gel-Dedicate 6 court shoes. Although I love the dark color of these, the width is a bit narrower right across the widest part of my foot (at the base of my toes). The GD 6 are made with a synthetic leather fabric which fit and feel great for me, but the GD 7 in this color, is a vinyl-like fabric with no “give” in this area. After 2 hours on my feet, they caused me pain because they were a bit too narrow. I will admit my feet may be wider than most women’s feet, but I have never needed a wide shoe. I was sorry to have to send these back, because it is the only dark color I see offered and they just don't work for me. If you do not have a wider foot, they may be great. The length fit as expected and they are a nicely made shoe, otherwise. For reference, I wear a size 9 shoe, but my athletic shoes are always a size 9 1/2.

I ordered these a half size bigger than I normally wear and they are still tight. The first time I wore them to play Pickleball for 2 hours I ended up with blisters on the backs of each heal. I wish I could send them back but since I’ve worn them I guess I’m stuck with them

had to add innersole cushion, too hard

Shoe sole felt too hard. Could not wear because of arthritis. Also heel to drop drop didn't seem high enough.

Stiff, narrow in the toe box, going back.

Good looking shoe but the toe box was too narrow which made the shoes very uncomfortable.

I wasn't happy with these Asics tennis shoes. For some reason they seem to be much narrower and shorter. I have always bought Asics shoes. What happened?

I have been wearing Dedicate 6 for pickleball. I called Asics to find out the difference between Dedicate 6 and Dedicate 7. The only difference I was told was that Asics added more stability to the Dedicate 7. Sounds like a good idea, but to me they were more stiff and just felt "heavy" on my feet.

My feet are a bit wide but have no problems with sneakers. These felt ok when I put them on but had no give and made my foot go numb.
