Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Resolution 8 Tennis Shoe

The shoe seems to be the same as the Resolution 7 which I wore for years. Both shoes run 1/2 size small due to narrow toe box. Both shoes do not dry out well as there is too much plastic and no mesh. Need to pull out insoles to get them to dry for the next day. Both shoes performance is great with great ankle and foot support.

Good stable tennis court shoe. A little bit on the heavy side. It would benefit from using lighter materials.

I am totally satisfied with the shoes' functionality. I've been wearing this line for a long time. I love the design. Just one thing. I understand that white shoes get dirty quickly, but this is more true with these shoes. They were already a little dirty when they arrived, even though the shoes must have been just sitting in a warehouse. I guess this type of material particularly get dirty really easily.

It's a decent shoe; but the gel 7s were perfect, I dont know why they changed! The toebox and the heel arent as comfortable and snug; just don't feel as stable. Luckily I bought a few pairs of the 7; hope they come back before I wear them all out.

Bought these so my son could play tennis in them. He said, he was sliding all over the hard court. If you are one that enjoys sliding into ball these are for you.

Where the sole comes up on the outside of the shoe, it digs in the side of my foot. Its only my left foot

Looks good on the picture but not very comfortable

Didn't fit as well as the last 4 pairs I bought despite being the same size. Narrower than the earlier pairs and more rigid as well. The plastic doesn't breath as it has no netting like the prior pairs.

No cushion for this ASICS gel. If you wear special insole made , you will realize it immediately .

they are very tight in the front even though they are my size. Don't really know why this is. I wo uld think that if my foot fits perfectly in the gel nimbus and gel kayano, then they'd be good for the resolution. I still like them overall.

I have been wearing gel resolution for many years and probably have gone through 15 to 20 pairs. All have been great until this last pair. For some reason the shoe material is less flexible and bind snaps and pops as you bend your foot. Very bothersome. All pairs have been the same size FYI as well.

Thanks for asking. I had to cut off the elastic straps closest to the front of the sneaker. The strap dug into the top of feet.

I've been using Resolution tennis shoes since version 5 and they mostly improved from 5 to 6 to 7. This latest revision is a big step back to my opinion. They are heavier and top material is stiffer. I hoped they would become better after a break in but this did not happen. After several months of wearing I still get toe blisters especially when playing in hot conditions where feet get wet sooner. The toe box has become wider and while some may find it more comfortable, I don't get the like-a-glove fit I had with earlier versions of the shoe. They also lost the low-to-the-ground feel that made court movement so confident with the earlier versions. To make things worse, shoe laces are weirdly very thin now and keep untieing. Overall, Res 7 were almost perfect in my book, but now I have to look elsewhere. Interestingly, Djokovich switched to a different shoe after Res 8 came out.

This was my second pair and I'm returning them because the Ellie's our way stiffer than the first pair I got I don't know if they used two different rubber because they are Le or what but they definitely didn't fit the same as the first pair

I have worn gel resolution shoes for the last five years but the "8" model is a disaster of style over function. The addition of a hard limit for lace extension at the 3-4th hole destroys its flexibility and makes it unsuitable for anyone with a high instep. It is a zero-value "innovation" created by a company that has lost touch with its customers.

They look great but fit and feel horribly. Too tight. Rigid.

The shoe is too tight compared to previous versions

I am a longtime ASICS Resolution fan and just bought my 12th pair in a little over 6 years and I am very disappointed in this new rendition. I play lots of tennis and rely heavily on my athleticism and speed. ASICS Resolutions have always provided me with the perfect balance of nimbleness with exceptional stability. The updated 8's have lost the former and feel a bit clumsyno longer have that agile feel to them. Went back to my 7's yesterday during play to reconfirm and sure enough not the same. Not sure why the change was made.

I have used resolution version 4 to 7. Never had a problem. Version 8 caused my right foot to have plantar faciitis and heel and ball pains on my left foot. After several months the toe box felt loose and causes pain on my toes during the game. I went back to my used version7 and had no foot problems at all. But I can't find version 7 anymore.
