Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Game 9 Tennis Shoe

Perfect fit. Very light weight. Like walking on air.

Perfect tennis shoe! A little stiff at first, but before I knew it, I was accidentally wearing them as everyday shoes even though I bought them only for the court. Great look took. I have a narrow 11.5" foot and the shoe is snug, so probably not great for a wider foot.

Excellent

they fit well, and the size is just right. The support of the shoe is better than some of the other ASIC shoes we purchased before.

Comfortable court shoe, used for paddle tennis about 2x a week for 1 year before the sole wore out, about what I expect to get. Will buy again.

I'm a 4.0 who plays both singles and doubles in competitive leagues. I've been using asics for years and my the sole on my old ones were getting worn down. These were a great replacement. They felt a bit wide the first time I wore them (to a clinic), but some lacing adjustment fixed that issue. I've already played 3 competitive matches in them and am 2-1 so far. They generally feel great---good traction, cushioning, etc.

The tennis shoes are very comfortable. They feel stable on the court.

Fit was good. Have room for my toes to move and slide while playing Pickleball.

Sharp looking shoe. Got them for my son who will start high school tennis this year. They are a basic solid shoe and for the price they are awesome. Really good grip so far. He hasn’t played in a tournament yet so can’t speak on how they hold up in the long run but so far for basic practice they work well

I own 4 Nike and 3 Adidastennis shoes - this is my first Aspics tennis shoes and now I know why most players in my Country Club are wearing Asics. Perfect fit for me, light weight but not lacking in durability. Just love this new pair.

I have wide feet so got the wide version. My favorite sneaker is Asics, but they don't make a wide court shoe (especially for hard court tennis). These shoes were wide and fit well except for the toes. I felt like I had a lot of extra room in the toe end that I didn't need. I was concerned about blisters but did not have any on my first try.

Really liked the style and looks, but felt a bit too narrow and needed 1/2 size larger. Have been wearing Asics for a long time and this was the first shoe that didn't fit perfect right out of the box.

I wanted to like these, but they were narrower than I could handle. Felt they might stretch a bit after wear, but couldn't bring myself to find out. Felt there might be better options for me out there. Size felt true, but could probably use an extra half. Overall they felt like nice quality as I typically only buy Asics, but was disappointed with these from a fit standpoint. Sent back...

I returned the "recommended" size because it was too narrow for my feet. Overall, feel pretty positive about these, but the particular pair I was recommended was too narrow for my admittedly unusually wide feet.

The shoe was styled nicely. I thought I had a narrow foot, however, the standard "D" width was too narrow for my foot and was not comfortable. I have never worn a shoe wider than a "D" width, however, this shoe needs to be offered in a wide "E" or "EE" width.

Returned. These were to replace some tired Gel Game 8's, but the Gel Game 9's hurt my heels.

Wish they felt good on my feet because they look great. I’ve got sentive feet though, so…

I bought these to replace my GEL-Game 8s once the soles started wearing thin. Out of the box, they were comfy, if not terribly cute. However, I soon discovered that my ankles were often quite sore after any time playing tennis wearing these. It's unfortunate, because I loved the previous model, but these just don't seem to provide the necessary lateral support to protect my ankles for tennis.

the toe portion was a little narrow very little cushioning for your foot

I am returning the 2nd purchase of these shoes. I love the look, fit, and comfort, but both times the right shoe has developed a hole on the right side of the shoe where the upper material meets the harder shell - the holes occurred in the exact same spot. I guess they do not hold up to the use. This was after only 2 months of pickleball - playing 2-3 times a week. I have several other pairs of ASICS and do not have any problems with them.

I needed a larger width and returned them along with a pair of Skechers. I was credited for the Skechers but so far have not been credited for the Asics that were returned of Oct 6th.
