Was so excited when I put on this shoe. I loved the look and the style until I tried to remove the insert. It doesn't come out so I am unable to wear my orthotics with this shoe. Plus there is ZERO arch support. I have never had this issue before with my Asics. So disappointed that I must return them. What's up with that Asics?

Comfortable. The black bottom wasn’t allowed on the courts I use, so I returned them.

These are nice looking pickleball shoes, but they run a little narrow. I need more room in the toe bed. Too bad...I will be returning them.

Picked this pickleball shoe among 4 I ordered from Zappos to try. It's relatively hard and low and provides adequate cushioning when mashing on your foot to sprint a few steps to take a swing. Slightly better looking than another Asics pickleball shoe I ordered, so I ended up keeping this one over that one. I don't love the childish baby blue that I ended up having to get this shoe in; wish shoe makers would realize women are not 8-year-olds. Give us men's color combos! End of rant. :)

I live these sneakers and am probably on my 12th pair. Great for Pickelball and even wear them when out just walking. The Arch support is my favorite thing about this shoe not to mention the cushioned feeling when you move. Love them!

The shoes are attractive. Not a huge amount of support and toe box seems a little narrow but I got a half size larger so worked out well. For the price definitely a decent shoe

Perfect fit for pickle ball! Great support & comfort while playing on indoor or outdoor courts. I was wearing OC’s previously and found that the ball of my feet would hurt after playing on outdoor courts.

Worn these now for about two months and found them to be comfortable right out of the box. They provide support needed to pivot quickly. I would purchase them again.

I agree with others that the toe box felt a little snug. Otherwise, they fit the same as other ASICS Gel that I have had before. I'm not sure what makes them "pickleball" but that's what I'm wearing them for and they feel good.

I like the wide toe space and mesh top at the front of the shoe. The shoe helps with stability which is important in pickleball. The soles grip well but allow me to move. The color combination works well with my workout clothes.

As with all of my Asics shoes, they are true to size and I do not need to break them in. My feet feel great after 2-3 hrs on court. My ankles feel supported.

Overall, liked this shoe very much. Unfortunately, after only two hours of Pickleball play, my feet hurt bad. I play PB reg five + days a week, so comfort is a must. Sadly, had to return them and resume my search for PB shoe.

Bought these for pickleball. Ordered usual size, 9.5, and they fit as expected. They are very supportive and comfortable. I’ve read they run narrow, but I don’t notice that. I have a medium width foot and they fit well.

I've had two pair of this shoe with a great fit and lots of toe room. These were a small bit short. Not much, but enough that I'm not willing to risk a toe bump when running the court.

Medium width is very narrow and did not feel comfortable at all. Returning them.

WHAT in the world would be the reason you would only make half sizes but up to a MAGICAL number? Regular women's size 9 is a 10.5 in an athletic SHOE. COME ON, PEOPLE. Fortunately, this one is a narrower cut. There is trauma which can be caused to big toenails from a half-inch lack of allowance!

Haven't been able to find a decent narrower width good shoe in YEARS.
