Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 Pickleball

Overall, liked this shoe very much. Unfortunately, after only two hours of Pickleball play, my feet hurt bad. I play PB reg five + days a week, so comfort is a must. Sadly, had to return them and resume my search for PB shoe.

Bought these for pickleball. Ordered usual size, 9.5, and they fit as expected. They are very supportive and comfortable. I’ve read they run narrow, but I don’t notice that. I have a medium width foot and they fit well.

Narrow in toes

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.

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.

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.

I've had two pair of this shoe with a great fit and lots of toe room. These were a small bit short. Not much, but enough that I'm not willing to risk a toe bump when running the court.

Medium width is very narrow and did not feel comfortable at all. Returning them.

WHAT in the world would be the reason you would only make half sizes but up to a MAGICAL number? Regular women's size 9 is a 10.5 in an athletic SHOE. COME ON, PEOPLE. Fortunately, this one is a narrower cut. There is trauma which can be caused to big toenails from a half-inch lack of allowance!

Nice, light shoes. Will be my go to for pickleball going forward

Shoe was a bit narrow across the toe box. Too tight for me.

Fit and size were OK. I preferred another model.

Too stiff for daily pickleball comfort.

Too stiff for pickleball comfort of daily play.

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

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.

Not much arch support nor cushion like other Asics have. They are stiff, too.
