Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Dedicate 8 Tennis Shoe

Nice looking shoes, but the fit was not wide enough even though the shoes were considered a wide size.

i like them. I find Asics to always be true to size. so if you are comfortable in one pair, you are good to go in all of them.

Very narrow. I have an average-width foot and these were too tight.

Shoes delivered. Shoes worn. Shoes worked out. Shoes played PickleBall. Shoes and I are happy happy.

Could be a tad bit wider but is wide enough. I'm guessing court shoes need to fit a bit snugger than running shoes in which case these are perfect. I also tried the Resolution 9 and they felt a bit too snug. Particularly for a wide.

Very comfortable. I sized up a half size and am glad I did. I played tennis the first time I wore them and absolutely no break-in required. I would purchase again.

Asics is the only brand for my narrow feet. I was disappointed with Gel Dedicate 8. The shoe felt cheaper than the Asics I've had before. Missed the substantial arch support.

As others have said, the toe box on this shoe is small. It's too bad, as otherwise it is a good shoe - looks nice with good support. The small toe box is a dealbreaker though, so had to return.

I was wearing Dedicate 7 last year and wanted to continue with Dedicate 8 because the top is mesh, which the dedicate 7 is not. However, I did not realize that the insole (footbed) is NOT removeable. I thought Asics had removeable insoles. Wrong! Many do not. Read the description carefully. If it does not mention removeable footbed, then it is not. Disappointed these had to be returned. It's hard to find sneakers that fit my narrow feet.

best fit and support! love love love them.

Nice amount of comfort, support and mobility

This shoe is very comfortable right out of the box. It has a lot of top padding (tongue), which is great for my higher-volume feet (tightened laces don't hurt the top of my feet). I don't anticipate much of a break-in period. The footbed is not removable; I ripped it out to replace it with my preferred insoles. It's glued in, so it only took a few seconds to force the footbed loose. This shoe has a moderate level of cushioning; I prefer more cushioning, but the price was right. I like the look of the shoe.

I purchased my regular size but had never bought this brand. They were way too small so had to return them

The shoes felt very stiff - my feet were sore after wearing them for an hour.

These felt narrow in that there wasn't enough material on the top foot of shoe. It seemed totally fine on the foot bed. I had to keep the laces really loose to not feel like they were digging down into the top of my foot. Returned.

Just what I was looking for

Size and fit are perfect. Did not like the color at all. Returned.
