Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Rocket® 9 Volleyball Shoe

I bought these volleyball shoes for tennis (hard court), since the last 3 pairs of ASICS tennis shoes I bought felt like I was wearing bricks on my feet. These volleyball shoes feel much lighter and more flexible than the ASICS Gel Court Speed, ASICS Solution Speed, or the Gel Solution Slam. They grip the court well, moving in any direction, and I don’t feel like I’m tripping over my feet when I move to the ball. I should include a shoutout to my friend Kim who recommended these to me!

My feet run narrow, and these are perfect in a 9.5. I tried the black and the blues.....I kept the blues Bec of the color. I also tried Asic Upcourt 3 and Gel-Rocket 8, but these fit the best. I plan to wear them for Pickleball.

I put these shoes on right out of the box and left my house to play pickleball for 2 hours. I wear a 7.5 medium. The shoes fit me perfectly and were really comfy on the court. I play on hard outdoor courts. I've worn them 3 more times since; one of the times was during a pickleball tournament. No problems at all. In fact, I'm going to order another pair. I got lots of compliments on the color too.

I already owned a pair of these shoes, so I knew I would like them. I use them to play pickleball. They are comfortable immediately from the box. They fit me well, and I have a wide foot. I will buy them again, and again.

These shoes are great, and super cute! I walk about 3 miles a day, and depend on a good, lightweight pair of shoes to get me through my day with no shin or knee trouble, and these shoes fit the bill. Highly recommended!

I play pickleball and these shoes are the best. The first day I wore them I could tell this was a great shoe for me. They give good lateral support and are so light weight. I will definitely buy these shoes again.

Perfect for Pickleball. My feet run narrow.

I got these shoes after I played a game of pickleball in Sketchers. What a mistake! My knees hurt so bad I knew it was due to the wrong shoes. I have since been wearing these Asics and they have been a dream. No hurt knees and they are really comfortable. Good length and toe box.

I have been wearing the Gel Rocket 8 for at least a year and the width was fine for my wide foot. The new Gel Rocket 9 is cut much narrower and now digs into my little toe. It is so much narrower that they are no longer wearable. I play pickleball 3 - 4 times a week for 2 - 3 hours at a time and was using this shoe.

Love these shoes!! They are very comfortable. I bought them for mountain biking and they are perfect. Great support.

I started playing Pickle Ball over the summer and ordered these shoes for playing on tennis courts. I recommend going down 1/2 a size for this shoe. I wear orthotics so I cannot say how the arch support is in this shoe. However, my custom orthotics fit in them perfectly if I pull out the insert that came with the shoe. Because I have been play on average 3 times a week for about 2 hours each time, I have worn out my first pair of shoes and I am ordering a second pair. Great shoe, I only wear Asics, so I have no other recommendation. Enjoy!

I wear orthotics but this shoe felt comfortable and supportive. I'm wearing them on the Pickleball court good grip with excellent movement from the shoe.

I read so many reviews on this shoe before purchasing it for indoor pickleball and I agree with most of them. The shoes are comfortable right out of the box and even more comfortable after playing pickleball in them for an hour. The support is good and the tread is truly non-slip (unless you're playing on a really dusty and dirty floor). I'm very pleased with this purchase. I have to add that I needed to call Zappos customer support after I made my purchase online and the young man on the phone was absolutely wonderful. I made the mistake of not noticing an old address that automatically filled into the shipping address line. I had not used my Zappos account since I moved and even though I filled in my correct address in the billing section, I did not see my old address in the shipping address section. The day after placing my order, my shoes were delivered to my old address in another state. The customer support agent could not have been more accommodating when I called to report this. He told me he would ship another pair to me at my correct address at no charge! I received my shoes within 24 hours and I was not charged for an additional pair. I don't know who lives at my old address and do not know how to contact them about the mistaken delivery but I was told not to concern myself with that. In my opinion, this is above and beyond anything that I would ever expect from Zappos or any other company for that matter. I can honestly say that I love my new sneakers and I love Zappos!

I wear a size 10 shoe ,normal width. These fit me perfectly. Actually they have become my favorite sneakers. I wear them lifting weights in the gym. Plus they are super cute!

Rocket Gel 9 fit well enough the first time putting them on.....there was not enough support from the shoe liner that my legs started to hurt after a half hour of pickleball play. I am hoping these shoes have the removable liner and i will replace them with my orthotics insole.

I needed a new gym shoe. Can’t wear my running shoes in the gym as the heel height isn’t conducive to squats, lifting etc. this is a great little gym shoe! Looks cute and works well for lifting and lateral type movements. LOVE the price as I am used to paying well over a hundred bucks for a good quality running shoe. Thanks ASICS and Zappos!

Shoe fits true to size, I wear a 7. There is a little extra room at the top of my toes but once I put on thicker socks, that solved that. Can’t wait to get on the volleyball court with my daughter and try them out.

I’m usually an 8.5-9. I wear 9.5 in New Balance. I bought these ASICS in a 9 and they’re perfect.

I buy Asics all the time because they are comfortable and keep my feet steady on the pickleball court. Love them!

I bought these for my daughter. The fit is good and she said they are super comfortable. And at 14, she is fussy about the look....which she is happy with, as well. Well worth the money, even if they only last a season or two.

Fit great right out of the box. Very good traction on the tennis court and easy to start and stop quickly. Shoe was great but unfortunately didn't help to improve my tennis game!

I really wanted these to be "the shoe", but they just didn't have the arch support I am accustomed to in an Asics volleyball shoe. I have somewhat high arches, so that was a deal-breaker for me, however, if you have normal feet, you will probably love them. I typically wear an 11-11.5 and ordered size 11 in these shoes and thought they fit very well.

This is the third year my daughter had chosen this shoe for volleyball. They are comfortable and hold up well.

I bought these after I gave away an earlier pair that were too large. I went down a size and they are still a little big. They are comfortable. The front of the shoe could use a redesign. It creases vertically on the inside above the toes. I am not sure how long the will last.

I loved the style of this shoe, which when wearing it took on a smaller look in a larger size.......something we all like. The problem was it was not comfortable as I wore it in the house. I knew right away, even tho I liked it so, this was not going to work for me. Much to my sorrow I had to return my purchase, was afraid to exchange for the next size. Been a long time since Id worn Asics!
