I think these fit best for a narrow foot and would size a half size up. I usually wear 8 and went with the 8.5. Still my right foot (which is slightly bigger) was getting numb and I had to loosen laces. Nice looking shoe, though.

Was so excited when I put on this shoe. I loved the look and the style until I tried to remove the insert. It doesn't come out so I am unable to wear my orthotics with this shoe. Plus there is ZERO arch support. I have never had this issue before with my Asics. So disappointed that I must return them. What's up with that Asics?

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

Zero cushion at all. I ordered these because I have very narrow feet, and they are narrow. But even just walking around in my house, I could tell there was very little cushion. And I don't think you can just pull out the insoles and swap in new ones. Bummer because they would have been great for narrow feet. Back they go.

I live these sneakers and am probably on my 12th pair. Great for Pickelball and even wear them when out just walking. The Arch support is my favorite thing about this shoe not to mention the cushioned feeling when you move. Love them!
I'd also recommend:
Oofos of any style

Too narrow across the ball of foot. Not comfortable for hours of pickleball play. Have older pair of Dedicate 7 that fit fine in my normal size.

I didnt know what size to get of my first pair of pickleball shoes. The ASICS website had a tool where you say your size of another type of shoe and it tells you what size ASICS to get. I only wear Hokas and am a 7.5. According to ASICS, I should order the pickleball shoe in 6.5. Great! I appreciated the insight. until the shoes arrived at my door and were so small I couldnt even get my whole foot in them. So now, Im out my shipping money and a pair of shoes because I listened to the ASICS sizing recommendation instead of going with my normal size. I talked with customer service who said I cant get a refund on shipping. Wont be ordering from ASICS again and will stick with Hoka!

I still have to return these. They are too big. I ordered an 11 because I am a solid 11 in all my other ASICS and these are too big. I also buy Asics because of their extra cushioning and nice arch. These are flat and hard. No cushioning and no arch. I was super disappointed. Back they go!

Perfect fit for pickle ball! Great support & comfort while playing on indoor or outdoor courts. I was wearing OC’s previously and found that the ball of my feet would hurt after playing on outdoor courts.

I agree with several other reviews, they are too narrow. I have ASICS running shows and they have plenty of room but these shoes are too narrow. Too bad. I am really looking for some good court shoes.

Worn these now for about two months and found them to be comfortable right out of the box. They provide support needed to pivot quickly. I would purchase them again.

I agree with others that the toe box felt a little snug. Otherwise, they fit the same as other ASICS Gel that I have had before. I'm not sure what makes them "pickleball" but that's what I'm wearing them for and they feel good.

I like the wide toe space and mesh top at the front of the shoe. The shoe helps with stability which is important in pickleball. The soles grip well but allow me to move. The color combination works well with my workout clothes.

These shoes fit very comfortably easily. Support for indoor courts. Have yet to wear them outside walking. Hopefully they last longer than a year.

I sized up from my 9.5 foot size to a 10 and when I tried them on they fit. But after wearing them to play PB the shoe is hitting my toes and still too short.
