ASICS Gel Dedicate Tennis Shocking Orange Men's Shoes and Athletic Review

This is a new version of the sneakers I wore before. I use them for aerobics. The gel provides good cushioning under the forefoot. The main feature for me is the landing. I have a narrow foot and these are a bit narrow. I also wear a 12.5, which most manufacturers say doesn't exist. I used to get them a size 12 which fitted so they were a big 12. Now they actually label them a 12.5.

I use these shoes for hard court tennis. They are very good for straight sprints with decent grip and support. They are lightweight but durable and will require multiple wears to break in. I've worn them about 10 times and no signs of wear. The only thing I would wish for is more ventilation. The mesh is too protective, perhaps for design reasons. Nice couple for the price.

The fit is still good and feels solid. I use them on away tennis so they're always under pressure. The hold so far is very good.

Update: With use 3-5 times a week for 1 hour workout for about 2 months, I developed holes in the tissue of both ankles causing blisters and I had to throw them away. Had 5 stars with no durability issues. This is my second pair. I use them for HIIT workouts, treadmill and rowing. Great platform for plyometric movements.

Exactly what I was looking for. Lots of space, durable outsole and great lacing. Great price as a hiking or all-round shoe.

great shoes, I always take the same pair just in a different color! The fit is a bit small but don't be alarmed when you put them on for the first time as they will stretch after a few wears

Good ankle support which is very important for Pickleball. A little tight, but that changes with use. Looks good, feels comfortable.

I love the design of the shoes. I also love the look of this shoe. I haven't played tennis in ASICS shoes before, so I can't comment on these shoes. I hope that the shoes will stretch a bit with use.

I read a review recommending these pickleball shoes so I decided to give them a try. They were a little tight when I first put them on but stretched a bit and now they fit well. A definite improvement over the shoes I wore on the court for the first few times. Good price.

Fits good. Better than the Gel Dedicate 6. We have had these shoes for two years and also ordered a 6 thinking they could be better but the toe box was too tight and uncomfortable on the newer model. 5 are perfect and true to size.

I liked them so much that when I put on my first pair I bought another one. My first pair was white, but I like these black and red ones better. I wear them to pickleball and they have served me well even when wet.

Good shoe so far, I play on hard court daily, the sole could benefit from more rubber surface but it seems to hold up and doesn't wear out too quickly, wears out very quickly, I ordered half a size up for my E width feet and it fits well. UPDATE: 1/17/20: The soft rubber outsole wears out quickly, I would downgrade this shoe to 3 stars.

I've been using ASICS for 30 years in running shoes "best fit! Choose shoes without trying them on! I feel like these tennis shoes are shorter to wear than running shoes!

I only wore these shoes for tennis which I play 1-2 times a week. The sole of the shoe wore out within 6 months of purchase, I will not buy again.

This is my first time buying sneakers online and today I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality and sturdiness of these shoes. They fit perfectly and serve their intended purpose for playing tennis on extremely rough hard courts. So far they have exceeded expectations and I will purchase a second pair if needed.

I have worn ASICS athletic shoes for many years and have no complaints. Fit, support and comfort are the best. This is no exception. I highly recommend this shoe.

I wear a size 9 1/2 on most brands and a tent for a roomy fit if available. The 9 1/2 pair I bought was too tight. I would have exchanged for a larger size but they were not the design I chose. I work a lot in my shoes and they may be perfect for those who love breathability, but I prefer breath protection.

I'm giving 5 stars considering the low price ($40) I paid. When I first put the shoes on they pinched my toes (box too tight or so I thought) luckily I took a chance and pulled them onto the court and they stretched to a comfortable fit after just one hit! And I like that they are light. Although not very durable. Cheap rubber that wears out quickly after a few months of intensive play.

I have a pair of these in white for indoor pickleball. I found them to be a good choice at a lumber yard. So I decided to buy another pair for outdoor play. You have not disappointed me. When it comes to landing, all feet are different. For me the fit was comfortable, non-binding and very supportive. A good choice for pickleball shoes as long as they fit your feet.

I bought them solely for pickles which I play a few hours a week. They fit well and are really supportive. I usually have to buy insoles, but they were instantly comfortable enough for at least a few hours a week when I wear them.
