After 2 months of average pickleball use the outer bottom layer completely wore through into the fabric of the shoe. ASICS would not replace this shoe based on normal ware and tear. Do not buy these shoes unless you want to replace them every 2 months.

They fit as I expected, I have this in other colors. The garnet color is more of a watermelon shade though. Run true to size. I'm a 7 1/2. I wear these for pickleball.

Dont order from ASICS. It has been 26 days and I still havent received my order. The package is not even close to my state. If you want shoes in a timely manner dont order from ASICS.

Shoe length was correct. Toe box tapered too narrow for my comfort. There is no "give" to the material for flexibility. Insole did not give arch support. Also, I didn't like the laces, which were more like cords.

Fit was true to size. Upper inside toe area was uncomfortable due to extra fabric that was wrinkled and bunched up.

Reviewing this shoe (Gel Game 9) exactly one year and fourteen days after purchase. I tried several styles of ASICS and the Gel Game 9 were by far the most comfortable fit. I use this exclusively on the court (Pickleball) and indoors (working out) Toe box was great and ankle support was spot on. However, I periodically experienced heel discomfort at the beginning of play which dissipated during play. (I don't typically get heel pain with shoes.) My negative review is prompted by the fact that approx. one week ago I noticed that my pinky toe had popped through my left shoe. Just a FEW days after the warranty window has closed. SUPER disappointed to say the least. So, comfort and stability wise, these have been a great shoe. Durability wise, not so much. I'll be looking at different brand.

Looks great but not comfortable. I have bunions and the shoe is narrow and has a harder part exactly where I'd need a softer material.

The fit is true to size but a little narrow in the toe area for me. I prefer mesh top is stiff. I prefer more flex mesh. The shoe has good support.

This shoes fit perfectly and are instantly comfortable. They are my go to shoes for pickle ball. I always order a 1/2 size up in athletic shoes.

I really wanted to like this shoe. These just felt too snug at the widest part of my foot and have concerns that it will be uncomfortable after several uses, so I am returning.

My daughter has only had these shoes for about a month, and it is already falling apart. She plays tennis everyday in them. Were so disappointed.

I have been buying ASICS sneakers for quite awhile.ASICS were recommended by my podiatrist as a great sneaker for people with achy feet. I have to say that ASICS was a game changer for walking . I ordered the same size as usual but,the fit was too tight. Really too tight . Disappointing

Really irritated by tennis shoes with sides and top coated in plastic that crease/pinch when you bend your foot. I've tried several brands at several price points. If anyone at these companies actually tried to play tennis in these maybe they'd notice. This particular shoe I purchased because I like Asics. They are too low in the heel and I lost agility along with the plastic coating being a drawback.

I have been buying Asics tennis shoes for the last 10 years, this is the first time I had to contact customer service about a pair of their shoes and I was disappointed by their service. The shoes had very short shoe laces and it was impossible to properly tie the shoe. I contacted customer service to request they send me a new pair of shoe laces and their response was it wasn't covered by the warranty and then charged me a restocking fee to return the shoe. I decided to try some different brands and am very happy with the Adidas shoe which also has a wider toe box similar to the Asics.

Tennis is a weird movement sport. Running, side stepping, stopping short We okay on clay courts and These ASICS are so amazing on my feet!

These shoes are leather and not mess so they are slightly heavier than I am used to. They fit great!

I have worn Asics for several years and was totally disappointed in the quality of this shoe. It's very stiff and has little to no cushioning. I wore them to play indoor pickleball and I may as well have been playing on concrete. Sadly, can't return now.

I play Pickleball about 7-8 hours per week. The material is very stiff and started cracking within a couple of months. They have very little cushion and even less arch support. I tried 'fixing' them with inserts, etc. and never could get them to be comfortable. I would not recommend these shoes if you have high arches. The toe box is a bit tight. The soles were good for indoor PB, though.

This shoe is extremely uncomfortable and I wish I would have returned them. They are very tight and rigid and have not loosened even with several uses. There is no cushion under the ball of the foot and it feels like walking on rocks. I would absolutely NOT recommend this shoe.

This shoe had good width in the toe and was snug enough at the ankle and heel. This shoe has very little cushioning; it felt really hard. I was concerned that it would be uncomfortable if I ran or jumped or moved side to side in the shoe.
