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.

I wore this shoe for a few hours and it is the most ill fitting defective shoe I have ever purchased. I am returning this after having worn it in public for just a few hours. This shoe is very defective. I am a true 7.5M with Asics's shoes and have been wearing this brand for years.

No flexibility or support. Don't like the colors of the shoe anyway and a really cheap Asics image made they look bad too. Sending them back. There is not really any good choice for me available. Bummed.

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

The fit was very odd at the front. I wore once and developed a bad blister. I buy Asics all the time and the fit has always been perfect.
This shoe is not fitting as it should

I have always bought Asics Gel for pickleball and purchase two at a time so I have new ones. However, latest purchase clearly indicates some tweaking to shoe and it hurt my toe and top of foot.

They felt about a size too small and narrow. I have narrow feet so that was surprising.

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!
I'd also recommend:
Haven't been able to find a decent narrower width good shoe in YEARS.

I wore these once and they were so tight I had to stop playing and walk barefoot to my car. They appear to shorter in length than my regular ASICS and narrower in the toe. Very, very uncomfortable.

I having been wearing Hoka's and Brook's for years to run and walk in. I have been playing Pickleball for the past year and wanted a court shoe in stead of a running shoe. I decided to give the Asics Gel-Dedicated 8 a try. They are not comfortable and my knees hurt after playing in them. I am disappointed in them and won't be wearing them anymore.

Shoes were tight around the edge of ball of shoe going around the top of toes near the start of the shoe laces. Need to get next size up or wider shoes.

I love ASICS But I always order shoes with a lot of cushion. These do not have cushion, so for that reason I find them rather uncomfortable. Maybe thats just part of the deal in all court shoes, I dont know?

These did run a bit narrow in the toe box and other reviews said but we're okay for me. The shoes felt very supportive but the foot bed was too hard and flat for my feet. They may have been okay with some breaking in, but I will be returning.

Usually take a 10-1/2 in a sneaker. Unfortunately these were a bit too small. Sending back.

Comfortable from the moment I put them on. I wore these on the Pickleball court without any break-in time. This is the 3th pair of Asics I've bought. I've tried other well-known popular PB sneakers on the opinion from others only to find that I've 'caught an edge' and fallen. Never had an issue with Asics, this is my 3th pair, They aren't as light as other styles, but I feel safe when I make the quick sideways, and stop and go movements needed in playing PB.
