I have worn ASICS in the past for running walking and the gym but when I was looking for a shoe for pickleball I figured why not go with a brand I have always been happy with. The reviews were mostly negative but the shoes were everything I needed and have worked out fantastic for my game play. Glad I did not listen and went with my gut instinct and bought them. They were just what I needed on the court

These are similar to the Challengers but without the intense side support that the challengers have. They still have plenty of support though. Only 4 stars bcs of the foot bed. I chose to put my SuperFeet footbed because the stock footbed had no support and was pretty flimsy. Have played in them several times and very pleased. Were a size 7.5/8, bought 7.5.

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.

Good sturdy shoes. Fit well. Nice colors.
My feet get a little sweaty in these shoes. I will pick the more breathable ones next time.

I wear these sneakers to play pickleball and so far so good. There is no slipping on the court, and i like to run, and they are extremely supportive. I am a 6 1/2-7 and the 7 fit perfectly. So far they stay tied but they do have round laces so I was worried that they might not.

I believe these are on sale because they are defective. Mine arrived with insoles that were glued improperly creating a lump. I tried to return and because it is not an external problem Asics is making me pay for the restocking fee.

I was wearing Dedicate 7 last year and wanted to continue with Dedicate 8 because the top is mesh, which the dedicate 7 is not. However, I did not realize that the insole (footbed) is NOT removeable. I thought Asics had removeable insoles. Wrong! Many do not. Read the description carefully. If it does not mention removeable footbed, then it is not. Disappointed these had to be returned. It's hard to find sneakers that fit my narrow feet.

Could be a tad bit wider but is wide enough. I'm guessing court shoes need to fit a bit snugger than running shoes in which case these are perfect. I also tried the Resolution 9 and they felt a bit too snug. Particularly for a wide.

These are not comfortable as the toe box is too narrow. Please bring back the Gel Dedicate 6, and I'll buy a dozen right away.

I love these shoes! My toes feel comfortable with the extra room which my doctor is thrilled about. The support is perfect for my flat feet. And it does not throw my knee off.

The length was fine, but the width did not feel 'wide'. They hurt my feet and I was unable to wear them.
