ASICS Mens Gel-RENMA Pickleball Shoes

These pickleball shoes are excellent for playing on indoor wood-floor basketball courts. They provide a reliable grip—no sliding out, no sticking—just the right amount of traction for quick lateral movements and sudden stops. They fit well, feel very comfortable, and offer solid support throughout long sessions. A great choice for anyone who plays pickleball on indoors wood-floor and wants dependable performance.

I just started playing pickleball about three months ago but have only been using these shoes for about two weeks. I'm an athletic guy and have been around my fair share of shoes, from basketball to running all the way to rugby. They are a little stiff but they are slowly starting to break-in. It could be my feet but wearing thinner socks doesn't work well for me and "No show" socks are also not ideal since the shoes are a little stiff. The side of the shoe rubs against my ankle since the sock rides so low. Switching over to a thicker, higher sock gives me a better fit (my personal preference). I have small feet for a guy, usually wear a 9 (sometimes 8.5). I ended up getting an 8.5 because I didn't want my feet sliding around in the shoe. Having said that, I wish they were a bit wider. Maybe if I got a size 9 I would get that extra space, hard to say. Breaking them in more may help but if you have wide feet, I would not get these shoes. Overall they have good traction, little on the heavy side (that's ok) but they fit snug, are comfortable and do what I need them to do. +++++UPDATE AS OF 4/20/2023+++++ Had to drop my review down to a two star. For some reason these shoes are putting a lot a strain on my achilles but only on my right foot. Not sure what is going on. I thought I might have strained my achilles but when I switched to my Asics Gel Venture 8's the pain went away. I will got back and try the Renma's in the upcoming weeks to see if the pain comes back...that will give be a better idea if the shoe is really the problem. If so I will give another update. +++++UPDATE AS OF 7/19/2023+++++ After a couple more months I changed my review from two stars to four. Hard to tell if something was going on with my achilles because of the shoe or just my achilles in general. Either way the pain went away and these shoes are great. My one compliant is how narrow they are. Read more

After a full week playing in the ASICS Gel-RENMA, I’m really impressed with how controlled they feel on an outdoor court. The outsole has excellent grip without feeling sticky, which makes it easier to stop cleanly and change direction without sliding out. I also noticed the shoe keeps a low, connected-to-the-court profile, which helps with balance and quick reaction shots. Break-in time was minimal. They felt playable after the first 4-5 hours of play time and got even more comfortable after the first couple of hours using the Game Day insoles. There's enough room in the toe box to move naturally without losing that locked-in feeling but if you like a lighter fit I'd recommend going maybe .5 size down. Even after multiple sessions this week, the shoes still feel secure and responsive. Overall, these are great if you want predictable traction, court feel, and dependable performance right from the first game. Read more

Sizing is off a bit...my husband usually wears 11.5 or 12, so I ordered 12 to be safe but it was too short/hitting his toes; overall fit was tight and had to return it because he couldn't use it as athletic wear because he would need to wear it for competitive purposes. Unfortunately , now there is no size 12.5 to order. He was disappointed because he loved the look of this Asics style/model and colors... Read more

Liteweight, very comfortable, these shoe broke in immediately. Read more

These shoes are fantastic they give me grip, they have the support were its supposed to be and they look good in my opinion. The fit is perfect, they run true to size and arent thin shoes. Only down side as many others have said is that they dont last as long as I'd like. They aren't fragile but I'd be happier if they lasted at least an extra month or two Read more
