Review on ASICS Gel Tactic Volleyball Shoes: Black Silver Performance at its Best by Jose Ortega

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I ordered these to replace the Asics Gel-Rocket 6 (which I've had for 2 years now and are great running shoes). I never had three

I used to have several pairs of Asics shoes. In fact I ordered them to replace the Asics Gel-Rocket 6 (which I've had for 2 years now and are great shoes). I've never had a problem ordering a size 8.5 from Asics. However, this pair was a bit big to wear. The width was ok but they were about 0.5 inches longer at the top. They weren't very comfortable and the shoes themselves felt very cheap. I was very disappointed as I have long been a big fan of Asics shoes. I just hope that was the "one-off" and not a new Asics trend. Definitely going to try my luck with a new brand as they have stopped making Gel-Rock 6.

Pros
  • The best squash shoe when you need extra support. Holds up great.
Cons
  • The laces are difficult to tighten properly, resulting in a loose and unstable fit during play.
