Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Renma

In wanted to love the shoes but it was simply too small and too narrow in the toe box.

I wanted so badly for this shoe to be perfect. But it feels like ASICS are a wee bit smaller these days. Bummer. They don't make them bigger than a women's 12.

Very nice show and comfortable fit. I returned it because I was not fond of the color.

I have loved ASICS for years as a running shoe, so I knew I wanted them for Pickleball. The only problem is that they are too tight across the widest part of my foot. As far as I can tell, this style does not come in wide. Although I have never worn a wide running shoe, I guess the Pickleball shoes are made differently.

One of the better-looking Asics pickleball shoes I tried, but it didn't have as much mesh as other shoes I tried, and so my feet got hotter when wearing these shoes compared to other shoes I tried, so I returned these.

I live in Asics. They’re literally the only sneakers that I ever purchase since I have a back injury and Asics have always given me great support with every pair I’ve owned. I tried this new style and I wasn’t overly impressed. Beautiful shoe, but lacks the needed arch support and the comfort factor that’s normally present is just lacking. It’s so difficult to find a white sneaker so I’m keeping them as my backup pair. Definitely wouldn’t buy this style again though.

This shoe seemed to have good support, but I felt it was too stiff and not flexible enough for my pickleball needs. I didn't want to take the chance that they would loosen up, so I sent back.

more rigid. good support

great shoe - lots of support very comfortable - true to size

These shoes don't have the cushy support I'm used to from my Asics Gel Cumulus and Gel Excite sneakers. Also too narrow in the toe, especially when rolling off the toes. Will stick with Gel Cumulus and Gel Excite.

They're not terrific. No real cushioning. But, the lateral movement is just fine for the sport. I've been wearing them on the treadmill and they just aren't that comfortable for long walks. So, for indoor sports....they're just fine. Once Spring really arrives I'll be wearing them outside.

The ball area is tight, but otherwise the shoes are good.

IT WAS TOO NARROW IN THE TOE AREA

Almost perfect - BUT painfully narrow. Too bad, because I love everything else about these shoes. They are sized right - my regular size for athletic shoes is 8.5 and these are good. But the toebox narrows right where my pinkie toe is, so it presses on it and makes it ache. I thought they might stretch out but I can't even stand to wear them for more than a few minutes before my feet start to hurt. I don't have super wide feet, but I do need some wiggle room in the toe box. If these had a rounder toe, they would be truly perfect. Sadly, they are going back. Sigh. Fortunately, Zappos is so good about returns. And the reviews are really helpful when shopping. I have been a customer for years and will continue to do so. Thanks, Zappos!!

Firm shoe mid-foot with good stability. Not enough cushioning to stave off heel discomfort after wearing in the house for an hour. A bit on the heavy side compared to my running shoes.

Comfortable, good support. Ended up not liking the color so returned

I have worn Asics for years and they fit me well; they have good support and are comfortable right out of the box. This version is hot. I didn't realize that my other versions have had more mesh. I mostly play indoors, so these may be my outside shoes when I play on the coast where the weather is cooler. I bought these as a replacement since I had been playing Pickleball in my old Asics for about 15 months (3x a week) when I started having heel pain. Although they still look good, perhaps I wore out the cushion and arch support. I may try removing the liner and putting in an arch support so I can keep using them.
