Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Dedicate 7 Tennis Shoe

These look like Asics knock offs. Like $10.00 plastic shoes. I'm shocked as I own 10 pairs of Asics. These are cheap looking and smaller than my usual size. Terrible!!

Love Asics, but my most recent pair was a model that absolutely trashed my feet. I went looking for the pair I had that I loved, but it's no more. This looked like a similar pair so I gave it a try. I love the toe box, it's pretty wide up top and feels very roomy. Shoes fit snugly on feet, and no breaking in required. Wish they came in more fun and funky colors. And please, Asics, put longer laces in your shoes! I can barely tie one loop. Kind of ridiculous!

First impressions, they looked and felt small. But that's because the cushioning all around the foot and ankle is quite thick. This compresses down after awhile. So it does run true to size. I re-laced and skipped a set of holes to accommodate my high arch. These feel great on the tennis court - no slippage. I recommend cushioned athletic socks to prevent blisters if you play hard. I find my feet are really sweaty after 90 mins of play. I'm usually a runner in minimalist shoes, so these felt really high drop and stiff but that's what you need for tennis. Good value for $70.

Good support. Fits true to size and width. Performs well for platform tennis.

these shoes are not the same size as other ASICS models. See below photograph comparison vs my pair of ASICS GEL Resolution. There is a difference of nearly 1.2cm in length. Both shoes are size 9.5 (US).

This is the best shoes for me playing Pickelball. I seem to slide off other shoes, these are strong!

My feet feel fine when wearing them--stable, which is what I wanted from court shoes. And they look nice. HOWEVER, they absolutely do not breathe, and my feet become sweat-soaked quickly. When it comes time to replace them, I won't buy these again.

I needed some court shoes for frequent tennis outings and these were right in the price point I wanted with the all-white style I preferred. They are comfortable and supportive, but they don't breathe very well. I end up with sweaty feet--more so than my running shoes.

Size was good but had too narrow a toe box for my foot

I wore these to tennis the first time and it felt great. I felt stable and was able to propel myself faster than in the older shoes I was using. However, my plantar fasciitis has reappeared in my right foot. The only change was these shoes. I still use them (only for tennis about 3x a week) but will try to figure out if it is the shoes or something else. The last time I had plantar fasciitis I was wearing Capezio dance shoes with no arch support. I might try these shoes with an arch insert and see how that works. So the jury is still out. I did go with a 9.5 instead of a 9.0 so I would have more room in the toe box. The 9.0 felt too tight.

Fit well and looks great. But after an intense tennis session (after being broken in), they gave me horrible blisters on the ball of my foot. Also feel very scratchy and hot. Absolutely do not recommend.

Excellent and very comfortable sneaker .. a little sticky for harTru courts so wore them outside a few days and they are fine.

This is the 2nd time I have bought these sneakers for her to play tennis in. She loves them and the purple accents match her school colors. She just worn these on a 10 day hiking trek in Peru as well and said they are very comfortable and provide good traction. They are also very affordable. I would buy them again for sure!

I must use some aditaments inside and it not fit

Comfy and perfect fit. I’m a 7.5 in regular shoes and I always order at least a half size up in sneakers. I ordered an 8 and they’re great. It seems like they’ll hold up well. Color looks true to the picture online.

Very stiff and supportive

I am a beginner tennis player and tried several pairs to select my first pair of on-court tennis shoes including the Asics Gel-Dedicate 7. I ultimately decided to go with the Asics Gel-Game 9, but found the Dedicate 7 to be a great choice for stability. It has a higher and more padded upper around the opening and when testing the shoes in my house, they definitely felt the most secure when moving quickly and suddenly from side to side. It's a pretty clunky looking shoe and seems like it would run very hot. The upper is made of a stiffer material than some of the other shoes that I tried which certainly adds to the stability of the shoe but seemed like it might make it harder to move around the court quickly, so I chose not to keep them. If I do experience problems with the stability of my shoes in the future, I will definitely repurchase the Dedicate 7s, though. The price point is great and it was a good fit in my usual size 7.5 with superior stability.

Shoes is great for tennis/pickleball. Just ordered my second pair.

perfect fit and feel. glad I ordered 2 pairs. I play tennis almost every day.

Good fit, Good comfort. True to size.
