These shoes are durable and comfortable. They fit as I expected. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I think they wear out a bit quickly. I'm pretty picky about shoes but they didn't last as long as I would have liked for tennis.
Pros
I wear them for hours every day to play pickleball and I highly recommend them.
My second pair of Acics. I love her. When I first wore this new pair it felt like I had worn them for a month. Good traction. Fits good. Good looking. I am happy.
Excellent balance for moving across the court in a fast pickleball game. Super comfortable. As some users have said the laces are short but they fit me as I don't want to trip over longer laces.
Pros
The shoes are great for both indoor and outdoor pickleball!
Cons
The retail price was good, but it's just okay, not a good shoe. Material is ok, wearing comfort is ok. I prefer Gel 8.
I used to buy more expensive ASICS shoes. However, I have found that more expensive shoes wear out faster. I play hard 4-5 times a week. The fit is good, the shoes are stable. The only criticism (smaller) is that the laces can be 2-3 inches longer.
I've used them a dozen times for Pickleball and they're worth the money. There are better, more comfortable pumps out there, but for the money, they're pretty much perfect. This is a good shoe that will last for many hours of play. I'll say I thought I was going to get white and blue, but I got white and black. Maybe it was my fault - I'm not sure. But I am very happy with the shoes.
I have only used these shoes once playing pickleball and have been very happy with them. It's very light on your feet and perfect for the fast, sharp movements required for this sport. However, as others have written, the shoes are very tight, so I bought them one size larger. The laces are also too short as others have commented.
Pros
Doesn't matter! Look great and sit well. Much better on hard.
I have just received my brand new Asics Gel Dedicate 7 tennis shoes. Right out of the box, they feel comfortable and look good. My only complaint is that the laces are barely long enough to tie the laces. I don't know why that is, but prepare to buy new laces right away. Otherwise a very good buy.
Pros
Love the product, good fit, great support and hold.
Cons
Shoelaces are too general, can you send me a longer one, thanks!
i like shoes I agree, the strings are too short, the insert has no straps and the shoes are very tight.
But in general I like the shoes and might buy them again if they have a wide range of them.
Pros
Appears to be well made, great sole and good grip.
I had 6 pairs of ASICS. loved them all So when I needed tennis shoes, I tried them. I've never had to order wide shoes. But they were very narrow. Even if I put on a very thin sock, my foot would hurt after a while. They look great but only on a narrow foot in my opinion.
The shoes are very narrow for their size (11.5).
They also came with laces that were so short I could barely tie them. also a very low level of comfort in general
Pros
Too early to give 5 stars. It will depend on how long they last. So far very satisfied.
I usually wear a tight 12 sizes. After trying 12 and then 12.5 I finally settled on size 13! But good shoes for narrow feet. The insoles have no padding and have minimal arch support. So I bought new insoles. But I think for shoes it's worth it.
Pros
Advantages: beautiful appearance, ease of care, convenience. The included laces are too short, hot in warm weather.
I have fairly average feet at US size 10.5. The length was good but the narrow toe box pinched my toes. I plan to return them as I only tried them on and didn't even bother walking around with them.
Pros
With a narrow foot it is difficult to find the right sports shoes. These Asics fit me perfectly.
Cons
May cause blisters or discomfort during break-in period
I am recently retired (66 years old) and play volleyball twice a week and have had trouble getting on one knee. The shoes I wore looked new (8 years old) but didn't have the cushioning I needed. They made a great impression and I also use them for 3-5 mile hikes on the sidewalk in the area. The only downside to this shoe is the short laces, but doable as I have a high arch.
As with the others, the laces are short, but I replace the laces in all my sneakers with locking laces, so this isn't a problem for me. Overall a good pickleball shoe. After playing them 3 times (I play 1-2 times a week) they have become more flexible so I am sure they will be more comfortable.
Pros
Asics is so comfortable and good for performance and durability
I recently purchased the ASICS Gel-Dedicate 7 men's tennis shoes and am very impressed with their performance. These shoes are incredibly comfortable and offer great support, making them perfect for long matches and training sessions. The gel cushioning system in the midsole provides excellent shock absorption and helps reduce fatigue during prolonged play. The shoe also offers excellent traction, which is important when moving quickly around the court. The design is elegant and stylish, the…
I have been buying this product every year for three years. When ordering this year, I read several times at Walmart that the laces are too short. The laces are color coded to match the shoes so swapping seems impossible as the color match is perfect. The problem is the length of the laces. Paul G.Ontario, Canada.
Pros
The ASICS sports shoes in size 12 are perfect for me. They feel great playing pickleball
Cons
Not suitable for players who prefer minimalist shoes.
Excellent stability when playing tennis but occasional discomfort as they are stiff and don't give way.
Sometimes you need to adjust the laces looser due to discomfort. also gets dirty very quickly when playing on clay
Pros
The product is light in weight
Cons
I've been playing tennis for a month and the sole has completely disappeared.
The slit around the ankles is large, and the height at the center back is not high, so the back of the shoe generally does not snag. As a result, even with tight lacing, the back is too loose, although the rest of the shoe fits properly.
