Love these shoes! Asics always fit me well and the quality is always top. These shoes were no exception. They fit my foot very well and there is very little "travel" or sliding around inside the shoe when playing. They are pretty light weight and have great traction on the court. I only wish they improved my hitting!

These things are light and fast. Perfect shoes for a 4.0+ pickleball player. Great traction and grip extremely light and breathable. I will buy them again.

I bought these 2 weeks ago and play 3-4 times a week. It took a couple days for my feet to adjust but these are COMFORTABLE and stable. I played in national badminton tournaments in the '70s in a pair of the Onitsuka Cortez and they were great then. This is the first time I've gone back to Asics/Onitsuka Tigers since those early days and my feet are glad I found them.

These shoes offer no cushioning and there is an intentional lump/hump on the footbed that is very uncomfortable even when just trying the shoes on for fit - I can't imagine how my feet would feel after 2 hours of PB. Will return these.

I have worn Asics running shoes for many years, and have been very satisfied. That is why I picked this pair of Asics pickleball shoes. They fit very well, and provide excellent support and traction on the court.

These pickleball shoes from ASICS fit well and look great. The orange is very bright and I usually buy 10.5 but I got these in 11s and they duty very good. They also preformed well while playing pickleball.

A bit snug in toe box but very good overall. I like rest of fit. Im hoping they stretch ever so slightly. They seen to provide excellent stability.

I bought this pair of shoes and used them for 5 months, When I notices that the top stated to rip at the toes, I checked the bottom and realized that the bottom was totally worn, I did not expect the shoes to ware out so quick, I reached out to Asics, filed a warranty claim, got this response " ASICS has reviewed your application for a warranty and determined that your shoes do not meet the criteria for a warranty, as the product has been determined not to have a manufacturing defect.
This warranty does not cover any defects due to improper fit, normal wear and tear, damage due to improper use, misuse, improper transportation or storage,"
These shoes have only been used on Pickleball courts.
Many other manufactures stand behind their products, those are who consumers should purchase products from not Asics

I love the sneaker for pickleball. Super stable and solid construction. Excellent grip, light, breathable. They check all the boxes. I'm a 10.5 in most footwear and this sneaker is no exception. My foot is even a tad on the wider side. Most people would have no problem going true to size. We'll see how they hold up over time. I have a feeling they'll be great.

Asics sent me shoes with a flaw. I set up a return and was told it would be free shipping back. Shipping was free but I had to package (about $9). When Asics received back the shoes they emailed that I would be charged $4.99 for shipping return. They sent me shoes with a flaw and it cost $15 to send back. I will never order from Asics again

I'm sorry to report that the shoes are disappointing. If I could return and replace them, I would. They're too tight around my toes and don't provide the kind of support I like for the balls of my feet. Plus, and this is just a nit, the laces are quite short. I would need to tighten the laces to have more lace to tie a good knot, but I don't want to tighten them anymore than they are.

These were a pair of replacements after a pair of ASICS Men's Gel-Game 9 Tennis Shoes developed tears above my little toes. I loved the shoes but not how long they were lasting (only 3 weeks). I contacted customer service and traded information with them. I got this pickleball version as a replacement pair. So far so good

These are a little stiff when you first wear them, but they quickly soften and become super comfy shoes. However, they wore out super fast. I received them on 02/02/24, and these photos were taken on 03/13/2024. During that time, I was also in bed for a week ill, so they only really had four weeks' worth of play on outdoor courts (which they are supposed to be for) four to five times a week! In my opinion, that's simply not good enough for a $90 shoe! I spoke to customer service/Warranty, and they consider this normal wear and tear!!
