Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Dedicate 8 Pickleball

Narrow in toes

I bought this for pickleball. Very uncomfortable and not bendable at all. They look nice but they feel like they are made of wood. Would not recommend them to anyone.

I play pickleball 4-5 times a week, usually outdoors or on sheltered outdoor courts. Asics are the only shoes I have consistently been comfortable in. (I've tried Skechers and Reebok recently.) Usually I get the Gel-Rocket, but I went with the Gel-Dedicate for this purchase. The Gel-Dedicate is a slightly heavier shoe. Maybe the tread will last longer? Hope so. I wear a 9.5, have wicked bunions, but can't wear wide shoes because my heels are too dainty. I love the color choices available in the asics gel line. Great shoes. Good purchase.

Very uncomfortable footbed.

The size was too long and not enough support across the top. Top/sides felt weak just walking around the house trying out the shoe.

There was no arch support for me and I truly need it so I will keep looking.

I had the shoe 1042A067 for tennis several years back and loved the support and how they lasted. Hopefully, this will be comparable to the other shoe I bought in the past, not as colorful but can't get everything for the price.

Nice reinforced sides. Fit great, very supportive

Love these shoes for pickleball. Great colors.

I ordered the ASICS Gel-dedicate Pickleball shoes in red/white. These shoes are very cute! Sadly, they are too narrow for my foot and they don’t come in a wide option- so I have to send them back.

This style is exactly what I currently have. I bought this new pair in the same size and it is much smaller. Even when I put these new ones side-by-side with my old Asics, the size difference is noticeable.

Compared this shoe to an Asics Gel-Revolution that I own. It is a full size smaller even though they are both marked as the same size

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.

Picked this pickleball shoe among 4 I ordered from Zappos to try. It's relatively hard and low and provides adequate cushioning when mashing on your foot to sprint a few steps to take a swing. Slightly better looking than another Asics pickleball shoe I ordered, so I ended up keeping this one over that one. I don't love the childish baby blue that I ended up having to get this shoe in; wish shoe makers would realize women are not 8-year-olds. Give us men's color combos! End of rant. :)

This shoes ws not comfortable for me

These are great shoes for pickleball! Good support and traction so I feel safer.
