Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Dedicate 8 Tennis Shoe

These shoes are lightweight and met my expectations. Typically, I experience some tightness and discomfort when breaking in new shoes, but that wasnt the case this time.Highly recommended!

It's too big, how can I return it? I don't have a bill...

Despite the Wide designation, these shoes are too narrow. I barely feel the difference between the 8.5W Gel-Dedicate and another 8.5 Asics. They are OK for walking, but not OK for playing tennis.

Another ASICS shoe perfect for a wide and rather big foot. Was looking for a primary white shoe. Really like this one!

Play pickleball 6 days a week for a few hours a day. Need a wide shoe as I ripped through the regular width ASICS as they have a narrow toe box. These are perfect for me.

Size runs smaller than the same model for pickleball! Why?

As far as tennis court shoes go, these are the absolute best. I find them light, sticky and comfortable.

I like these shoes. They provide great support. I noticed the other day that one of the shoes is defective as the stitching across the top is loose.

The tennis shoe was a bit big. I wore it indoors and its a bit too big vs the same running shoe.

Average shoes, not the best, not the worse. They could be softer or smoother, but that doesn't imply they are too hard or harsh. Just average.

It was just as I hoped. The wide tow box provided a relief from the pressure on my little toe

Shoes are great, not super soft comfort wise but good enough for everyday wearing. Not for athletic training.

Good shoes for playing tennis. I didnt have any issues so far for running, jumping and lateral movements on the hard court. One thing they can improve is its design, it looks very basic, pretty behind in the style factor.

Just bought these today in pale gray w/ red and navy trim. Wow, what a comfortable shoe. I consistently wear a 9.5M (except Nikes and Pumas), and these fit like a glove. I think the pale gray uppers and navy sole coverings will help them stay cleaner looking longer than shoes that are mostly white. The insole doesnt have much of an arch support, but the structure of the uppers provide all I need. There's also totally adequate foot bed cushioning. Thankfully, they arent squishy like some shoes I have tried, which I found difficult to balance in. Sometimes a firmer shoe like these actually works better for me. They're very trim looking, so they don't make me feet look like boats as many of the shoes with flared, oversized soles do. I also prefer the almond-shaped toe, as opposed to round and square toes. The mesh top of the toe box provides plenty of forefoot ventilation, too. The strings do seem a bit too short, but I'm thinking they will stretch over time. My only concern with them is sole durability. Several reviewers complain about premature sole wear, but from what I gather, they use them playing sports that require a lot of foot activity. I will use them as a walking shoe, so I'm hoping the soles will last more than a couple of months. Otherwise, I consider them to be a great shoe at a great price.

Wide still too narrow. Couldnt make them work. Returned

The shoes are great and a better price than on Amazon. However, the shipping took forever, I never got a confirmation of order until they shipped two weeks later. I had no idea if the order went through until I scoured my bank. Wasnt impressed and Ill probably order from another site.

Good fit and very comfortable. Able to add arch support

I have a size 8.5-9 narrow foot and these fit perfect! Will purchase again.

They were cute, but the toe area felt plasticy and they were a little tighter than expected.

Comfortable and Stable even for someone with wide feet

Just like I thought they would be, great. Right color. Good fit

Fits my duck-shaped feet well. Comfortable and good support

Excellent service. Great fit and durable! No concerns. Quick shipment.

I have worn ASICS shoe most of my adult life. These are the first ASICS shoes that dont fit! As a matter of fact, every brand of shoes Ive ever purchased, I have worn the same size. These are the first shoes that didnt fit me in literally 40 years. In addition to that ASICS charges and re-stocking fee for returns. In todays website purchasing, why would I want to purchase from this company. I can buy their shoes from Amazon, they do free returns! The last problem I had with this company is shoes are now over two times more expensive then when I purchased them a few days ago,all because their shoes arent sized right. I sent their customer service an email about this problem and quickly got an answer that was a complete waste of time. In short it said, were experiencing a high-volume right now will get back with you. Needless to say they havent. The question I have is, would you like to do business with this particular company?
