My feet used to be regular sized, but got wider after playing PB, so I ordered Wide. It didn't help much as these shoes get uncomfortable after playing just one hour of pickleball. Asics shoes have been the best for me with cross training and aerobics, so I had high hopes, but unfortunately these court shoes weren't comfortable. Front of the shoes feel secured (stiff) so it definitely does help with the lateral movements.

Great fit. Wide. This is my second pair as the first wore out ( on the sole) with a lot of use. I picked exactly the same style and fit although a different color! I have wide feet and the soft woven top, rather than leather, is great.

light and has a sturdy stopper on the sole. (I run around the court so it wears out quickly though.) The shoes themselves are great. However, these weren't wide at all. I think it's a size error/manufacturing error. I'm sure of this because I also have different color (light blue) of same shoes. I recommend Asics pickleball/tennis shoes, but unfortunately the wide shoes sell out quickly on the Asics web site and after that I can't buy them anywhere I look.

Love these shoes!!! Supportive and comfortable...So glad they come in a wide size, as court shoes are hard to find in wide. (My previous shoes hurt my feet within an hour of pickleball.) Wish there were more color options - I could buy more!

I bought these in June for my daughter. She didnt start wearing them until August 14th when school started for tennis practice. The soles are completely worn and they gave her huge blisters.

Shoe quality was good. The low rating is due to your site indicating the correct size for me based on another brand that I purchase would be 7-1/2 wide, however, the Asics run small and narrow. Your misinformation resulted in a cost to me to return them.

Comfortable and nice looking. Only problem is the soles wear out quite quickly. I bought these a month ago and I van already see flat places. No holes yet but it may not last long even if you dont wear them everyday.

These were advertised as wide, and they are not. I have another pair of wide ASICS that are amazing, I was hoping the same for these. I reached out to customer service for a refund or exchange, but they denied it. I now have a pair of sneakers I can not wear.

I needed sneakers quickly and was not able to get my usual. I ordered these in my usual size which includes wide width. They were to small 8.5 and therefore not wide enough. Was going to keep them if they fit, but am not.

Only a few court shoes come in a wide and these are comfortable. I wish there were more color choices in a wide. I couldnt wear these all day but they definitely do the job for pickleball.

I purchased these shoes for pickleball. I really like them. They fit well and were comfortable from the first time I played in them. The color wasnt exactly what I expected but that didnt really matter. I do love the fact that they have been super easy to clean! I changed the laces to fit my personal style.

I love the look of the shoe. I love the support it gives. It is true to size. I love the colors, but it is not comfortable for doing high-impact Jazzercise. The shoe is very stiff which surprised me because I've purchased many other shoes by Asics and they've all be super comfortable. I am keeping them and will wear them for low-impact activities.

Be aware that this model runs about a size smaller than others. I have been wearing Asics for decades because I can rely on 6.5 W fitting me perfectly. These were way too small.

Awesome Grip & Fit on any Pickleball court. I am no longer slipping or sliding. The support is perfect for my wide foot & high arch.

The shoe is so heavy! After wearing 30 minutes, I have to change shoes, my feet are so tired. I asked if I could return and was told NO, once they are worn you can not return. I did not know they had this issue until I wore them. I have bought many, many pairs of Asics, but this maybe my last.

Previously had the Dedicate 7 and ordered the Dedicate 8. I don't like the mesh top as opposed to the leather on the 7. Felt cheap.
