I've always had problems with holes wearing in the soles of my right shoes, directly underneath my big toe, regardless of the brand or model. ASICS was probably the one major brand I had yet to try when I bought my first pair of Gel-Challenger-13's. The first pair, which I bought approximately six months ago, held up so well that I bought a second pair as soon as I noticed my size was in stock, about a month ago, even though I had plenty of life left in the original pair. I've never gotten six months out of a pair of shoes. Not only have these been incredibly durable, but they're very comfortable and light. Without a doubt, this is the best shoe I've ever played in. I've recommended them to probably every player I know. I will continue to buy ASICS, and this shoe, specifically, from now on.

My son goes to tennis training 5 days a week (3 of the days he trains twice a day). This is his second pair in 6 months. Great side support. His previous pair had worn down at the toes and heels section . Only wish if the soles can be more durable to sustain a bit more longevity

Pickeball players, listen here: #1) Great looks: the black, white and blue combo is outstanding to hide scuffs & look cool #2) Great traction: the same tread as Solution Speed FF model #3) Great cushion: the cushion is comparable to the upper class models #4) Great price: the price of these is model is much less than the 2 upper class models Wear ASICS = stand out & play with confidence

I have been using ASICS running shoes for years. They are all a Men's size 10.5. In this model, I had to exchange a 10.5 for a 10 because the 10.5 was too big. The 10 fits exactly like my other 10.5 running shoes.

I love the look of these shoes. Of course, more important is the fit. I love the fits-like-a-glove feature of ASICS court shoes.

Great tennis shoes! The support for lateral movement is solid and the fit especially in the toe section is true to size and the best compared to the previous shoe models i have tried.

I am brand new to the sport of tennis but this is a very comfortable shoe. They were a bit uncomfortable at the start before breaking in, but after a couple of days playing they felt completely fine. Definitely recommend for newcomers to the sport.

This is a great shoe. Unfortunately my order arrived with two used shoes thrown in a brown box. The soles were scuffed and dirty. No packaging. So I returned them.

Very comfortable and stable tennis shoe. I purchased On Federer Advantage earlier this summer, they caused plantar fasciitis, pain I’ve never had before. Also, wore out fabric in heal and sole. So far, ASICS gel challenger 13 is holding up better. Fabric in front let the foot breath, doesn’t get as sweaty and equally comfortable. I’m using my shoes to play Pickleball 2-3 times a week.

I have always been a fan of Asics court shoes - badminton and tennis. These shoes didn't disappoint, took a day to break in, but very comfortable. Look great on the court too!
