Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Dedicate 8 Pickleball

I bought these shoes in June and worn twice a week and the sole has worn through most of the padding in the shoe. This is a poor quality shoe and NOT recommended. If you are looking for a pickleball shoe, select another brand.

The sole on the shoes have worn out after playing less than 10 hours on indoor pickleball courts. Bad quality and I would personally recommend the players looking for pickleball shoes not to purchase these shoes. For the price point we have paid, we expect the shoes to lost longer. I use other branded tennis shoes and the soles on the shoes does not worn out even after playing 40+ hours on the same surface courts.

Unfortunately, these pairs wear out really quickly. The shoe soles were gone in 3 weeks. I love all my Asics shoes, but not these pairs.

Shoes feel great. If i was to mention one negative aspect it would be the tread wears fast for a "pickleball shoe".

never have a problem with the dedicate as outdoor pickleball shoe . Perfect fit

I bought my pair about a year ago. I found them comfortable and durable. I play three times a week and the soles are still in reasonable condition and will probably last another two months

I have only played with them for a week. I am a big fan of ASICS. ASICS is the only court shoe that fits my foot and after 3-4 hours constant play is still comfortable. My only wish is that it would be a little lighter. At 79, I could use all the help I can get. If you have a lighter weight model please let me know.

Purchased these shoes approximately 1-2 months ago when I began my Pickleball journey, playing roughly three times a week. I've historically been quite hard on my footwear, and unfortunately, I managed to wear a hole in these relatively quickly. However, I must note that the overall feel, size, and other aspects of these shoes were great. Tried adding photos, but couldn't.

No body has more pain in there feet than me! I wear orthotics, have tried every shoe there is and no comfort. Walked into an asics store randomly tried a pair of shoes and the seemed fine. The real test was walking at home. Ive hed them for 3 weeks, have many miles and my feet feel great. Always could be better but these shoes have given me more comfort than Ive had in years. So much, Ive ordered 2 additional pair. Thanks

Great court shoe for pickleball! Comfy yet functional!

I normally dont complain about these things, but the fit was really off. I am a true 9 in almost every shoe, but these bound my feet at the big toe bone. Not sure why they werent roomier. I have a pair of Ascics golf shoes which are size 9 and amazing fit, these were just very painful.

Too narrow! Hurt feet and cant move. Do better asics.

Really good shoe for the money. Bought during Black Friday, which made the deal even better. So far, shoes are comfortable and provide good stability on the court.

I bought these shoes 2 months ago and been using them only for pickleball, the shoes are not very comfortable, the bottom treads are completely gone in just 2 months of use?. this is my 2nd and last Asics Pickleball shoes

Good fit, great for pickleball. Great construction, nice look.

I bought this product about 5 weeks ago. There is excessive wear on both of the shoes on the sole under the the big toe. Submitted this to customer service with images etc and they stated that this is not an issue. I have always like the ASIC products but will now have to move away from this brand. Losing a long term customer on the purchase of one pair of sneakers

Just bought these today in pale gray w/ red and navy trim. Wow, what a comfortable shoe. I consistently wear a 9.5M (except Nikes and Pumas), and these fit like a glove. I think the pale gray uppers and navy sole coverings will help them stay cleaner looking longer than shoes that are mostly white. The insole has just a hint of arch support, but the structure of the uppers adds all I need. There's also more than adequate foot bed cushioning. Thankfully, they arent squishy like some shoes I've recently tried, which I found difficult to balance in or sense what they are doing. Sometimes a firmer shoe like these actually works better for me. They're very trim looking, so they don't look like snow shoes as many do with flared, oversized soles. I also prefer the almond-shaped toe, as opposed to round and square toes. The mesh top of the toe box provides plenty of forefoot ventilation, too. The strings do seem a bit short. In fact, theyre too short to use the topmost lace eyes. Thats partially due to my very high instep - the sides just don't lace as closely together as I would prefer. I'm thinking, though, that the laces will stretch over time. My only concern is sole durability. Several reviewers complain about premature sole wear, but from what I gather, they use them in sports that involve a lot of high impact. Ill use them as walking shoes, so I'm hoping the soles will last more than a couple of months. Actually, the photos with wear that reviewers posted all show shoes with a different sole than mine. Mine are identical to the item listing photos. Theirs are not. Fingers crossed that Asics has corrected the wear problem by using different soles. Otherwise, I consider these to be a great shoe at a great price.

These shoes are exactly what I was looking for. Not only do they look great but after playing pickleball for 5 hours my feet werent as fatigued as prior days. I will definitely look at other colors in order to have two pairs.

I have been buying pickleball shoes from ASICS for years. I have games and dedicates stacked in my closet. Why are they stacked you might ask? I only get 6-8 weeks of tread when playing three times a week. They wear out and I stack them in my closet for gardening shoes. The only reason I keep buying ASICS (and why I gave it two star versus one) is their fit. They fit perfectly. I have tried NB, KSwiss, Wilson, etc.... ASICS fit the best. The best feel and traction. NB (courts, not pickleball) lasts 6-7 months but lack the feel and support I desire. I just go to the Outlet store and buy two pairs at once.

Had for 3-4 months, sole wore off or came off in chunks while exercising
