This is my 4th pair of this model of Asics. I wear them to play tennis and I play singles and doubles up to five times a week. I have bunions on both feet and a nerve issue in a toe that causes a lot of pain, and another player recommended these for the same problems. I loved the first pair and have stayed with this model since, adding different colors to match different team uniforms. They feel completely connected to my entire foot. They give very strong ankle support, and I never feel concerned running full-out for a ball, and I haven't had an issue stopping quickly after running in for a drop shot, or jamming tight side-to-side. They are light, but after wearing them for a while, they do tend to feel a little clunky. Maybe I've just worn the cushioning out, and will try adding a new insert. Overall, the best tennis shoe I've tried to date. Nike's tend to be too narrow in the toe, or the ankle slips, and Adidas, which I want to wear, are more heavy and bulky. Lastly, I absolutely love getting my new pair the next day, and for this pair, it was just in time for a match with my pink and white team. Lots of compliments for the pink shoes matching my pink skort.

Awesome fit. Love the arch support. I usually need to add an insole, but don't need to in these. Best looking ones of all the pink shoes I tried.

I ordered these for tennis after wearing Asics Gel for jogging for several years. Comfortable, good arch support, no break-in required. I wore them to the courts right after I opened the box, and had no problems at all.

Best tennis court shoe I've ever owned. Better than other brands. Very comfortable and durable -- my last pair lasted a year and I play tennis 2-4 times per week.

I love these shoes. They were so comfortable from even the first wear, no breaking in or adjusting to them required. Really supportive on the court. I also love the color combination - they certainly stand out!

I'd bought quite a few tennis shoes before I went to Asics, and I'll never go back yo any other brand. These are the best ones I've ever had. They keep me feet stable throughout the match, are very cushioning, and on top of it all, very stylish for tennis shoes. Worth the price.

Wow! Serious support on these fun looking shoes! Took a little time to break in around the ankles, but all ends well. Love the design of these bright colored shoes!

Great shoe. First time in Asics. Very comfortable, nice cushion. Normally I buy New Balance but I would buy this shoe again.

Really nice shoe. When you put them on you would swear they are going to be to narrow or pinch, but they don't. Have played in them a couple hours now and are still comfy at the end. Better arch support than last year & I do not need to put inserts in this model! They are running a half size SMALLER than last years model (Gel Resolution 4) and same size as 2 years ago. They run similar to their trainers/running shoes. I usually always wear an 8 in Asics except last years model court shoe (had to get 7.5). I'm ordering my second pair as a backup when these go flat in 6-8 months & the shoe will no longer be available. I play 4-5 days a week.

I play tennis about 4 days a week and tend to buy one pair of shoes every 3-4 months. I've been wearing Asics running shoes for about 20 years, but bought my first Asics tennis shoes about two years ago. I love them! This particular shoe runs large IMO. I always wear an 8 and needed a 7.5 in this shoe. One month later and I'm wondering if a 7 would've been better. Overall, I like this shoe, but won't buy the same model again in two months when it's time for my next new pair.

This is a great shoe in a beautiful color. I have always worn Prince or Babolat for the lateral stability and witdth. This is a narrower, lighter, more flexible shoe with great cushion. I wear a 10.5 in the Asics running shoes and was between the 9.5/10 in these--went with the 10 for no jamming of toe.

I was looking for a shoe for both circuit training and good cushioning, traction and lateral support in Zumba, dance jam and even step classes. The shoe does it all. I also was concerned about avoiding straps or features that would press against my bunions. This shoe was a bit tight at first, creating some soreness which I could minimize by loosening the laces. But as they have loosened up a bit with wearing, I no longer have that issue. They could be a tennis shoe too - they're just very good for quick changes in movement. Also, good arch support. (Note: Buy a half size up.)

I was thrilled to find out I could get this same model shoe 2 years.+ after I got my 1st. I had got them to play tennis in, but also ended up wearing them to work as I am on my feet constantly. They are a little bit heavy compared to other purchases, but so much more supportive that I was choosing to wear my old shoes of this same model rather than much newer shoes I have bought.

These shoes are very well made and have great stability, ankle and arch support. I loved the Gel Res 4 and wasn't sure I was going to like the 5 but the shoe held up. I ordered down and size as they are wide and I like a snug fit. My feet are so comfortable that I do not think about my feet when I play and that is priceless.

Generous but true sizing with socks. Very comfy under the front of the foot. I use them for my P90X3 workout, not actually playing a court sport. I like them especially for the balancing exercises as I feel very stable side-to-side in these shoes.

I love Asics running shoes, so i expected comfort, and they deliver. I am pretty new to tennis, and have size 9.5 Flintstone feet. Most tennis shoes I tried were too narrow and stiff. These fit great. They are a tad longer than my other athletic shoes - but the extra room hasn't caused any problem.

These fit well straight out of the box and have terrific lateral support as well as good arch support. I bought them for cross training and my feet do no slip around when moving side to side and there is enough cushion for jumping as well as running. These are good all round trainers. Very well made.

I'm not in love with the look of these tennis shoes but I was going crazy searching for a stylish tennis shoe that performed well. As soon as I out this shoe on, my tennis game changed for the better. I am now able to run for shots that I wasn't able to before. Let me clarify, I was able to run and get the shots before but my body paid for it. I haven't had one pain in my body, especially my knees, since wearing these Asics. I would buy these tennis shoes ten times over!

I'm a runner at heart and most of the other tennis shoes out there have too high of material around the ankle-these fit more like running shoes. True to size-very comfortable.

Great shoes! These Asics have everything you want in a court shoe-lots of support and a great grip when you are changing directions to hit that killer shot.
