ASICS Mens Gel-Dedicate 7 Tennis Shoes

This was the third different pair of shoes I tried for pickleball, and they are my favorite. Lightweight, but still give a lot of support and stability. The sizing was accurate. I also like the plain black and white color, which seems difficult to find for many shoes. I bought a second pair right away, because you never know when favorite shoes are no longer available.

I've worn these now for a couple days around the house to break them in, and then twice on the tennis court. So far so good. I ordered my standard size and they fit great. Some brands (Nike, Adidas) are always too narrow for me. New Balance fit but only in a wide. Sketchers give me the best fit. These fit somewhere in between all of those with a nice snug fit in the heel and across the arch of my foot with just enough space in the toe box to be comfortable. I think this is a good fit for a purpose-built athletic shoe. The laces are a bit short, as other reviews mention, but I can get them laced and they don't come untied. They will be used for their intended purpose, for hard court tennis. Beyond all that, I like the look, the price is fair, and they feel well built. I will update and adjust this review with any issues that come up. Read more

Bought these shoes because of the name brand and the reviews. I got these to play pickle ball and they provide great control and comfort on the court. But, the manufacturer put a yellow logo on the inside of the shoe at the heel. They didn't use permanent ink and the yellow comes off on every pair of socks, see picture. Now, every pair of socks I wear comes out with a yellow heel. For $75 and a name brand shoe I expect better quality control than this - just a poor design and every poorer testing of the product.

These ASICS are a game-changer! The durable synthetic leather toe overlays ensure they can handle the toughest matches, while the TRUSSTIC technology and wrap-up outsole keep me stable on the court. And let's talk about that GEL Technology—my feet have never felt better thanks to the excellent shock absorption. These shoes are a winner in every set! Read more

I'm not sure if this is normal, but playing Pickleball 3 to 4 times a week, I wore through these in just over 4 months of use. They offer no warranty coverage through ASics, so they shoes are trash. Just know, the soles are not that thick and wear very quickly. Comfortable, stable and great, other than wearing out faster than any shoes I've ever owned. Read more

Great for Pickleball due to the ankle support. Read more

I normally wear a size 12 narrow. After trying a 12 and then a 12.5, I finally settled on a size 13! Good shoe for narrow feet, though. Insoles lack cushion and have minimal arch support. So, I bought new insole inserts. But I think it is worth it for the shoe. Read more
